1907
Rhino horn were exported from German East Africa in 1907 for Mark 105,261. The farmers around Kilimanjaro have taken for several years waggon-loads of rhino hide for export, and as the European leather industry pays well for the thick hide, the introduction of the railway will soon see the end of the rhinos, if the export is not made more difficult.
