DRINK HALF THE
COFFEE GROWN.
More Than a Billion Pounds Of Coffee
Consumed in the United States
Every Year.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-More
than one billion pounds of coffee. val.
ued at sSS,0O0.OOO, came into the Uni.
ted States last year, as shown by fig.
ures recently issued by the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor through
Its bureau of statistics, was 1,112, 7O3,-
SAC pounds, valued ut sS7,427, O99, and
from Porto Rico 1881 24 pounds, and
from Hawaiian Islands 1897, 491
pounds.
The total value of the coffee from
these two island divisions of the Uni.
ted States being s515,S52, bringing the
total quantity of coffee brought into
the country up to LILY, O6O, 900
pounds, and the value SIS, 100000.
During the same period (the calendar
year 1900 there was exported from
the United States 64,25G,947 pounds
of coffee OF foreign production, valued
at SG,4GS,592, so that the consumption
Of coffee during the year was approx.
imately 1855, 100000 pounds, valued
at about $1,000, 900.
Worlds Coffee Production.
The figures of the worlds produc.
ton Of coffee in the coffee year 1907.
1904, which has just reached the bu.
reau of statistics, show that the coffee
exported from the various producing
countries Of the world, and therefore
the quantity entering the worlds
markets during that year, was, in
round terms, 2,a60,0OO,000 pounds, or
barely double the quantity brought in
to the United States alone during the
calendar year 1904.
1t may therefore be said, in general
terms, that the United States con-
sumes practically one.half Of the cot.
fee entering. the worlds markets,
since u importations of coffee in
1904 amounted TO practically one.half
OF the coffee exported by all the cot.
fee producing countries of the world,
and more than % per cent. Of that
importation was retained in the Uni.
ted States for consumption by her
people.

REORGANIZING
Lieutenant Colonel Edward
Forbes Resigns From the
Second Regiment Infantry

In retiring from the office of division
commander of the National Guard of
California, Major General John H.
Dickinson, in an address to the vari-
Gus organizations says
Having been identified with the
Guard in active service since the 1st
day of April, 1877, except when on the
retired list as brigadier general 1 deem
1t fit that I should say a parting word
to those particularly who were in the
service when I became identified with
it, and also to those who have since
become and now are active members
of the command. Twenty-eight years
is a good part of a lifetime to be de-
voted even partially to any service,
and necessarily have seen many
changes in the personnel of the Guard
as we'll as in the laws and regulations
which have governed it. Many old
comrades have passed away, and many
remain, but the lives of all give the
best evidence of their love of country
and State and that feeling which made
us members of the National Guard
and has kept us in the service is the
basic feeling upon which the founda-
tions of our common country rest.
In taking this formal parting from
the OfnCcrS and men Oh the NdllOndl
Guard, can but ask that you will per-
form your duties in the future as faith
fully and as efficiently as you have in
the past, with the same intelligence
and alacrity, and above all with the
same love and pride for the flag of our
country"
The superior Office in Sacramento is
at work rearranging matters so as to
meet the conditions of the National
Guard under the recently signed re-
organization bill. As yet no announce
ments have been made as to who will
be placed in command Of the two bri-
gades into which the guard will be
divided. 1t was confidentially asserted
a short time since that Colonel Kos
ter would be one of the new briga-
diers, but during the past week 1t was
given out that 1T looked as If w. Frank
Pierce of Oakland was the coming man.
Colonel j. F. Burgin, who for TWEEN
ty-one years was an active member
of the Guard and at the time he asked
to be placed on the retired list was
adjutant Of the Second Brigade, has
been placed there. in five-line type
written order, which merely declared
the fact. but makes no mention of his
long service.

Some months ago the Board OF
Health, acting on the recommendation
of Health officer Ragan. condemned
these dairies because they were in a
filthy condition and the milk from
them was full of bacteria and unfit
for human consumption. The dairy
men frustrated the efforts of the
Health Department by securing in
functions and continuing their busi-
ness. Lauberge Bros. and Nicoi &
Sbragia decided TO move to cleaner
premises and the legal proceedings
having been brought in the name of
Lauberge, there was no action pend
ing. Before another injunction could
be secured the health officials called
upon Acting Chief of Police Spillane
and secured the services of policemen
to guard the milk supply and prevent
it being taken from the dairies. These
officers were on the scene yesterday
morning and the dairymen were re-
strained from dispensing their milk
to their customers. AS soon as the
cows were milked yesterday the milk
was thrown away and this will be
done until the premises are vacated

SMALL CROWDS
GREET MASTER
OF THE VIOLIN

San francisco has by no means done
Itself proud in the welcome accorded
10 Fritz Kreisler, but yesterday after
Moons audience made the Alhambra
look good deal more as 1t should
nave looked throughout the season.
II is not possible for audiences to be
more enthusiastic than Kreisler's have
peen, but the attendance has been
rlolcuiously small when one considers
that quite the greatest violinist ever
heard here. and perhaps the greatest
OF living violinists, was the attraction.
so much larger was the house yester-
oay, however, that Mr.. Greenbaum
mas wisely decided upon an extra con-
cert Tor next Sunday. By that time
word of what Kreisler is will have fill
tered into the community, every audi
tor being devoted advertiser.
The Bruch concerto in G minor was
the piece de resistance of yesterday
afternoons programme and was given
IN magnificent fashion. Paganini, for
the playing of whom Kreisler first
came into prominence six years ago
IN Berlin, was represented by the Mon
Plu Mesta'' variations. The astound-
ing technical difficulties were sur
mounted with utmost ease and an ova-
ton greeted the player after its rem
dering.
The lovely Tartini Variations" on
a theme of Corelli's were substituted
Tor the Chaminade Spanish Seren-
ade' in response to innumerable re-
quests and aroused stubborn demands
Tor repeat that Mr.. Kreisler hard
heartedly refused. He had, however,
been compelled to play again the
Rameau "Tambourin" and the Dvorak
Humoresque" and also gave gener-
ously an encore to his concluding num-
Der, two of Brahms Hungarian
Dances
The programme of the last recital
will include the Beethoven Concerto,
and 1t should not be missed by any
one interested in music of any kind,
from the barrel organ down.
