ed an association or trust to advance
their wares in the United States. They
will open business houses in the cities
here and in New York, and will try to
show our people the varieties of coffee
raised on Uncle Sans new island. The
men already included in this trust have
plantations to the value of s., 900 900. Some
of their estates are mortgaged, but the
association expects to clear off the mort
cages by money raised In the United
States, and also to get such advances as
will enable its members to cultivate after
modern methods. Among other things
they want our agricultural department to
establish an experimental station here
devoted to coffee raising. There is no
doubt we should have such farms in all
our tropical possessions. and 1 under
stand that Secretary Wilson Is already
planning them.
WHERE COFFEE LANDS ARE.
In Brazil the best coffee is raised at an
the sea. 1t grows on the highlands south
of the center of the country and some
distance back from the ocean. The coffee
plantations of Porto Rico begin almost
as soon as you leave the narrow strip Of
coastal plains which runs about the
island. They grow all along the hills
clear to the tops of the mountains. In
nothing but coffee, the bushes growing
among other trees. This is especially SO
in the eastern end of the island, where at
poisoning time the air is so full of the
perfumery Of the coffee flowers that it
almost overcomes you.
There is a great deal Of coffee along the
military road and quite large amount in
the western part Of the island. I have
been told that coffee will grow anywhere
outside the low coast lands, and that
there are large areas Of coffee lands which
are now in grass. There is no doubt that
this Is true Porto Rico has In the neigh
borhood of 100000 acres Of land. and
there are. 1t Is said, only about 100000
acres in coffee.
The most of the coffee lands are in
comparatively small tracts. 1t takes
money to operate a coffee plantation,
and for this reason the ordinary man
cannot manage a large crop. The aver
age estate is not over fifty acres, al

will deal in another letter.
MONEY IN COFFEE.
There is no doubt but that there is
money in coffee. Porto Rico already
raises enough to give half a pound to
every man. woman and child among her
fellow citizens Of the United States. She
produces annually more than 100000
pounds, and she could produce at least
as much more. So far not one-tenth Of
the coffee lands have been developed,
and those in cultivation are not half
cared for
This is so, although coffee is king in
Porto Rico. II is the chief industry of
the island, and its sale profits the coun-
try more than anything else. The coffee
exports are three times as large as the
sugar exports. They amount to some
thing like 100000 year, and go almost
altogether to continental Europe.
/ doubt whether there Is better coffee
in the world than that raised in these
new coffee fields of Uncle Sans. If there
Is have not tasted it. Porto Rican cof-
fee has the same flavor as the best Mo-
cha and Java mixed. AS prepared by the
Porto Ricans 1t is drink for the gods
strong, aromatic and delicious.
The best of the coffee is called cafe
caracolilla; it has brought right along 25
cents and more at wholesale. 1t all goes
to France, for it is too rich for our Amer
lean blood, costing so much that our
importers have not introduced 1t into the
American markets. They can get Bra
lillian coffee cheaper. and the profit upon
it is greater. The result is that the Porto
Rican coffee has been going to Germany,
France, Italy, Austria and Spain France
gets the best; Germany, Austria and
Italy take the second and third grades
and the poorest of all is sold to the Span
tards.
This should and will be changed. There
are people in the United States who are
now paying 30 cents pound for so-called
Mocha and Java coffee which costs in
Santos and Rio de Janeiro less than 8
cents pound. They could buy the Porto
Rican coffee at a less rate and have a
better article

The transportation Of the coffee to the
seaports is one of the most important
factors IN the industry. Much of the

mountain ranges between it and the

PONCE, July 20, 1S99.-How would you
like to own a Porto Rfcan plantation?
There is big money in some of them,
can tell you. I have met several men
who are making from 25 to so per cent a
year out of them. One coffee planter
near Adjuntas cleaned up 100000 in 1898,
and there are sugar men who are doing
equally as we'll. Some of the sugar es-
tates about Ponce produce from six to
eight hogsheads a season, an on the
east coast, not far from Humacao, there
is a little cocoanut grove which will net
its owner an annuaf income of $4,000. I

is a confirmed pessimist, who will no

saying Chicago is not a wicked town It
is, and it would be If ruled by commit

trayed the simple Dives of the Thrums

The scene of the story is laid in one Of
the most unpicturesaue regions of Can
ada, among the border pioneers Of West
ern Ontario. bata when the reader has
once made Observation-Disclosures Of George
and Mary McGarriger, of Grisdale, Andy
Harris, Debby Gramer, Tom Brimmercorn
and Dan Ldttleton, be cares nothing for
the scenery in which their defeats and
successes took place.
One Of the chief elements of fascination
in the book is the fact-new in fiction
that While there ism blare of trumpets
about plot, and fnearly every chapter
is a complete story in itself, the reader
soon discovers that two very subtle plots
are being developed, and becomes eager
to see the outcome of each. The money
that came to George McGarriger by in
heritance, the tragedy it led to, the thrill
ing accessories introduced, and all the
seething interest therein of little self
conferred community, are. woven into a
powerful story. But presently, like a
thread of gold in scarlet, the romance Of
Widow Cramer and Horace Bristol be-
comes blended with the other fine effect,
lending it surpassingl interest and fur
nishing the eliminating chapter-which
IS the last.
The author has his material well in
hand, and produces the effect of veri-
simi1itude in ALT his work. Indeed, the
truth to human nature, the simple linn
ing Of reality in all It's pages, is one Of
the striking features Of the book. Vir-
tue is rewarded. guilt is punished, but
the author never seems to strain a point
to bring about the pleasing play of JUS
tice Everything follows naturally, al
though the story deals with murder and
robbery, and even has a haunted house
for a grim central idea. With consum-
mate adroitness the writer has toned his
recital so skillfully that not once does
the telling Of a really exciting story lapse
into the vulgarly sensational.
