New Sources of Coffee

/ Most of the coffee consumed in Am
erica comes from Brazil. The supply
from Java is so small that extensive
substitution takes place. Hence the
world has occasion to feel interest in
the discovery of fresh sources OF sup
ply. According to consular reports
sent to Washington, the French ex
plorer Chevalier has discovered three
new species in the Congo region of
Africa One variety grows to re-
markable height, more than sixty
feet not being unusual The other
varieties are mere shrubs.
The tree appears to grow at from
1,600 to $500 feet above sea level,
but does not thrive in lower regions
exposed to floods. 1t has a gray
bark, with longitudinal burrows, OBJ
long leaves white, fragrant flowers,
and blossoms in February and March.
The fruit is gathered only in the val
ley of the Boro, within the domain of
| the Sultan of SnOussi. Closer inves-
tigation have shown that the trees
thrive best in a soil rich~in nitrogen
and soda, but lacking entirely in pot.
ash, phosphoric acid and lime. The
fruit consists of small grains, resem-
bling in shape and size certain kinds
of coffee of Abyssinia and Mocha. In
its wild state a five-year old tree,
about twenty-seven feet high, yields
about 1000 beans, very rich in caf-
feline.

Great Britain and Japan, the in

The dispatches from Chicago
credit DIR. David Starr Jordan with
saying before the congress OF re-
ligions that graft is unknown IN
Japan. II venture to say" contin-
ued Mr.. Jordan, "that in the pres
ent war not 500 of japanese war
funds has been stolen. On the
other hand, I presume that not one
dollar in twenty, if one in a hun
dred, on the side of the Russians
ever reached its proper destination.
I heard of only one dishonest jap
anese while in the country, and he
was one whose morals had been
contaminated by residence abroad.
The Lewis and Clarke exposition
at Portland is now open and the
state of Washington is splendidly
represented there. The exposition
is not only important from an his
torical point of view, commemor-
ating as it does one of the most re-
markable journeys of exploration
ever taken in any country, but it
serves to draw the attention of
many millions of people to the vast
and varied resources of two of the
grandest states in the Union and
to their commercial, industrial and
educational development. Every
one in the northwest who can visit
the great Fair without financial or
other hardship, and who is old
enough to appreciate its beauties

is sure to be full of interest to
young and old and an inspiration

Saving
Money

MOuGy
We wish to call your atten-
ton to the desirability of saving ;.
money. John d. Rockefeller
tells us that "Anyone can make
money;few can safe it."The man
who is saving money is build
ing character; he is acquiring
power. 1t is the man with char
acter and money who is able to
take advantage Of Opportunity
when she knocks at his door.
It is the fixed habit of saving
something, no matter how small,
that counts. Persistent saving
creates a habit of life that is
fruitful in results. 1t is Russell
Sage's advice to young men to
save twenty-five cetns out of
every dollar earned-and stick
to it. But if you can't save
twenty-five cents save ten or
five; save something anyway.
The best way to save is to
start bank account. Money in
your pocket is easily spent, bat
money in the bank is out Of
easy reach.
Did you ever think about the
power of interest? Do you
know that 81 deposited each
month will amount to $64.72 in
five years and to S139.S0 in ten
years at per cent? That S. de-
posted each month will amount
to S324.Sl in five years and to
S699.5S in ten years? Think it
over, remembering meanwhile
that THE SAN JUAN COUNTY
BANK is well equipped to care
for it's large business; that it has
established Banking by Mail
department, which it places at
your service, and that it receives
deposits from 81 up. 1t aims to
encourage thrift, to promote the
saving ''habit." 1t would be
pleased to open an account with
you and to help you save.
An attractive little booklet,
Banking by Mall" will be
mailed upon request if you
mention this paper.

HOUR Law
ON STATE WORK
Emergency Case Submitted
to HarbOr Commissioners
by Healy, Tibbitts & Co.
PIERS FOR PACIFIC MAIL
Board Adopts a Resolution
Providing for Amendment
Of the Specifications

Harbor Commissioners Henry j..
Crocker and John b. Mackenzie attend
ed the regular meeting of the board
yesterday, the former presiding. The
president, Charles H. Spear, was abb
sent by reason of sickness.
Healy, Tibbitts & Co., contractors for
the construction of the new piers for
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
submitted a written communication In
which the request was made that men
employed by the contractors should
have permission to work twelve hours
a day The State law providing that
eight hours shall constitute a days
work was amended in 1903. The amend
ment provides that In cases of emer-
gency where delay In construction may
endanger life and property, laborers
and mechanics may work overtime.
In the communication presented
yesterday the contractors cited the
statute, but did not set forth the state
ment that delay in construction which
would follow adhesion to the eight
hour law might result in the loss OF life
and destruction OF property. At the
suggestion Of w. H. Davis, attorney for
the board, the contractors will amend
the petition. and the subject will come
up for consideration at the next meet
ing.
According to the contract. Healy.
Tibbitts & Co. engage to complete the
work of constructing piers AZ and A.
Pacific Mail dock. within 300 calender
days. The work was begun in, May
There is a vast quantity of building
material on the premises The working
force at present consists of seventy-six
men.
Inquiries addressed to Mr.. Healy by
Commissioners Crocker and Mackenzie
elected the statement that there were
one hundred cylinders in position,
which should be filled at once with con-
crete. Mr.. Healy said 1t would be a
serious matter If the concrete workers
were limited to eight hours day. The
contractors. propose to pay for the
overtime and the men are willing to
work Under the most favorable con-
ditions the work cannot be completed
before the middle of next winter.
III the original plans for the new
docks Chief Engineer Norton provided
that the space between the piers should
be zoo feet. AS the steamships Nam
churia and Mongolia have great depth
of beam, r. p. Schwerin requests an
extension of the inner space.
On motion of Commissioner Crocker.
seconded by Commissioner Mackenzie,
the board yesterday adopted the fol-
lowing:
Upon the written request of the Pacific Mall
Steamship Company 1t Is
Resolved, That the plans and specifications
for the construction of piers AZ and A be
amended so that the distance between the M
ner sides of said piers shall he s22os feet tn7
stead of 200 feet, provided that Msssrs, Heaiy' .
struction of said wharves. and the surety on
the bond of said contractors file with the
board their written consent thereto

NEW MEN In CHARGE
OF RAILWAY OFFICES
W. S. Palmer Supersedes
Agler, Who Takes Hold of
North Shore Road.

Change in authority was the order OF
things in the local railroad world yes
terday. AS a result of the recent re-
organization of the Western system
of the Southern Pacific Company, Gen.
eral Manager Agler, whose position
was abolished, stepped down and out
of the employ of the company, and
later in the day assumed the duties of
general manager of the California
Northwestern Railway Company and
the North Shore road, succeeding

compelled him to retire.

ern Pacific Offices, w. S. Palmer, for
mer superintendent of the Western di-
vision, entered upon the duties of his
newly created position of general su-
perintendent of the Northern district.
and his first official act was to issue
circular announcing the appointment
of w. r. Scott of Salt Lake as his sue
cessor at Oakland While these changes
were taking place here w. S. Ingram
assumed his title in Los Angeles of
general superintendent of the South
ern district of the Southern Pacific and
formally announced his successor as
superintendent of the Los Angeles d.
vision of the road in the person of H.
v. Platt. All of these changes were
announced SeVeIdi 0dyS ago ana cOnSe-
quently the appearance of. the new off ;
cials at their desks yesterday created
little stir.
President A. W. Foster of the North
Shore road yesterday also filled the va
cancy in the Office of assistant freight
and passenger agent of that road, Gre
ated by the resignation of G. w. Heintz
by appointing F. B. Latham. The lat
ter held the position of passenger and
ticket agent of the North Shore road
UP to the time it was absorbed by the
Foster interests. when he was appoint
ed cashier. He is succeeded as cashier
by ]. B. Doyle, who is at present CASH
Ter of the California Northwestern. 1t
is expected that Doyle, who has been
connected with the latter road for
many years. and is regarded as a COM
petent man, will have charge Of the
cashier departments of both roads.

that 1t should pay duty as beer brewed
