Showing Bell and his ADC Captain Burton standing beneath an arch of welcome in Mbale, which he visited on his 1909 tour: 'Mbale, the headquarters of the Elgon district, is situated on the plain at the foot of the mountain ... Mbale is rapidly developing a large trade. Situated in the midst of a densely populated district it is the sole source of supply of European goods. Caravans proceeding to Karamojo all fit out at Mbale ... The whole of the trade is in the hands of Indians, Baluchis, and Swahilis. The Bazaar, which was handsomely decorated on the occasion of my visit, comprises some 18 or 20 stores ...' (Bell 1909).
