DRINK HALF WORLDS COFFEE

WASHINGTON, D. c., March a.
The people of the United States are
the greatest coffee drinkers in the
world. The consumption of coffee per
capita in the United States last year
was 11.64 pounds.
One billion pounds of coffee, valued
at 3Ss,OOO,OOO, came into this country
last year. This was one-half the pro-
duction of the world. In 1902 the per-
capita consumption of coffee was but
11.49 pounds. For that year the
United States used S52,272,OOO pounds:
Germany, 3sO,S2O,OOO; France, 1873, $780,
900, with Russia, Italy and Great Brit
ain using less than 100000 pounds
each.
A statement prepared by the bu-
reau of statistics shows that, with the
exception of one year, the per capita
consumption of coffee has steadily in
creased in the United States. In ad-
dition to the one billion pounds
brought into the country, the insular
possessions of the United States pro-
duced 117,00O,00O pounds

Jost Will Fight Sullivan.

Charlie Jost of Portland, known as
Young Fitzsimmons' will be Twin
Sullivan's next opponent. The men
have been practically matched to fight
at Tacoma next month, but the exact
date has not yet been set. April 3
was suggested by Jimmy Carroll, the
manager of the club, but as that is the
day before election, and as nearly
every man in Tacoma is a statesman,
the date will likely be pushed for
ward.
Tommy Burns could not agree with
Jimmy Carroll as to terms for a re-
turn engagement with Sullivan. Tom
my was not satisfied with the size of
his cut out of the last fight. He wanted
the fighters to get so per cent of the
receipts, and Carroll would not stand
for more than so per cent, SO the
match fell through. Jost is a strong
youngster, who is touted as a conner
by the Portland sports, and it is ex-
pected that he will give Sullivan a
hard battle.

PIE OUR NATIONAL PASTRY.
New England and Middle States Area
of Largest Consumption.

CHICAGO, March 24.-"Pie is con-
sumed chiefly by the native Ameri
cans" said Clark Fortune of this city.
Foreigners eat very little of it. A
pies in a year, while a good Yankee
would consume that many in a week
The English, the Italians and the
French are small pie eaters. The Eng
lish eat plum pudding, and the Ital-
ians like fruit. New England and the
Middle States constitute the area Of
greatest consumption, but the pie belt
extends far beyond that, as pie is ex
tensively eaten all through the west.
pie is eaten much more generally
in the north than in the south. Chi
cago is a great pie center. ST. Louis
low. One would not think that there
are means for ascertaining the facts in
regard to pie consumption, but I have
gathered statistics on the subject dur
ing the past two years which enable
me to compute with reasonable cor
rectness the consumption of pies in
every state in the union.
pies are made in greater varieties
than formerly, and the supplies are
brought from greater distances-in
fact, from all parts of the world. The
season of pies made of green fruit has
been prolonged, and pies are made Of
canned fruit the year round. The
time honored mince pie has become a
Christmas dessert whose place is sure
and beyond dispute.
There is no export trade in pies,
because in crossing the ocean the crust
would become soggy, which, of course,
is the reverse Of the desired condition.
1t is fact which would surprise many
persons, however, that pies are often
shipped hundreds of miles across this
country

CLOSkY BATTLE TONIGHT
AT PORTSMOUTH.
Charlie Yost of Portland and Jack Sui
Ivan Matched for Go at Tacoma
the Coming Month.

PORTSMOUTH,, N. H. March "a
Tonight's battle at the Rockingham
Athletic club of this city between Joe
Walcott and Blink McCloskey is
practically for the welterweight CHAM
pionship of the world, title that Wal
oft still holds in spite of all claimants.
Walcott, owing to an injury to his
right hand in a shooting accident, has
been out of the game for some months,
but his physicians say that his hand is
now as strong as ever, and in other
respects the BLACK Demon is as
strong as ever.
1t will be the most important battle
of McCloskey's career, for, although he
has met most of the good men of his
weight in the east, he has yet to face
a real champion. He has been fight
ing in good form of late, and is conf
dent of his ability to make good
showing tonight against the redoubt-
able Walcott. Many fight followers out
of town, are arriving to see the bat
tie, which promises to be a whirlwind
affair from start to finish.

CROP CONDITIONS GOOD
NOTHING BUT MOST FLATTERING
PROSPECTS so FAR FOR A
GOOD YIELD.
Spring Seeding In WaIIa Walla Coun-
ty Will Soon be Done-Late Rains
General Over Valley.

Flattering reports of crop conditions
in the wheat producing sections of the
eastern part of the state continue to
pour in on State Inspector Arrasmith
at Tacoma Most of the correspond
ents see nothing but flattering pros
poets of a big crop. State Grain Com
missioner Anderson of Rosalia, which
is in the heart Of big wheat produ
cling section, states that fall wheat is
in fair coalition and no portion of the
acreage will have to be reseeded.
The acreage in that section is about
the average. A report from southern
Douglas county says that both fall
and spring wheat is looking fine and
that the season is fully three weeks
earlier than last year. Good growing
rains are being enjoyed and the
ground is in finer condition than for
years.
From Tekoa in northeastern Whit
man county tnep report is also flattering
Conditions are said to be the best in
years. and about three-fourths of the
land will be in wheat and oats, and
about one-fourth left for summer
following. About one-fourth of the
acreage is in fall wheat and it is doing
well.
A report from Almira in the Big
Bend country says that only a small
acreage was seeded to fail wheat, but
that large part of that is being re-
seeded, owing to the dry fall and win
slightly smaller than last year, but the
present prospects are good for big
crop.
Deputy Inspector Milton Evans of
Walla Walla county is gathering data
for his monthly report for the state
office. BY the first of the month it is
thought that most of the spring wheat
will have been sown. The heavy
showers the past week have been quite
general throughout the county ana
growing crops are looking fine as a
consequence. Late spring sown wheat
is taking root nicely and in some fields
of fall wheat the grain stands nearly
six inches nigh.

DOGS GAVE UP LIFE ON DUTY.
Great Danes Found Dead, Their Mas
ter's Safe Robbed.

NEW YORK, March 24.-After
killing two Great Dane watchdogs,
burglars forced open a large safe in
the rear of Oldenburg & Co.'s whole
sale liquor store, No. 749 Tenth avenue,
and obtained $3.50 in coin and bills and
gold worth almost $100 more in SOU
venir pieces.
Mr.. Oldenburg, leaving the store at
midnight, had locked all the win iows,
although heavy steel bars protected
them from the outside, locked his safe
and seen that both dogs were inside
When he went to the store, at five
o'clock, he found one of the dogs dead
in the front Of the store and the other
behind a partition at the end Of the
long bar. The safe door was wide
open, the door to the cash drawer was
bent out of place, and papers and
books were scattered about the floor.
Entrance had been gained through
rear window, two bars on which had
been pried off. The robbers had reached
the rear of the house through an al
ley. A paper bag, which had contained
meat, was found on the floor of the
store.
Several hours later a patron of the
store came in with fox terrier. The
dog found the paper bag, licked it's sur
face, then staggered to the middle of
the floor and fell dead A cat licked
the same paper a few minutes later,
| and she, too, died almost instantly.
Although the safe was seventy-five
feet back from the sidewalk, it was in
! full view from the sidewalk To have
forced its door, the police say, mus,
have taken heavy blows, yet no one
Seem to have heard the sound.
Mr.. Oldenburg was geratly grieved
over the death of his dogs. Dewey
was seven years old and was consid-
cred invaluable. He was tentered at
many bench shows, and took several
prizes. Last summer he jumped into
the North River and saved a drowning
boy and more recently he led Mr.
| Oldenburg to snowbank late at night
where man was freezing.

IRRIGATION IN UMATILLA
BOARD OF CONSULTING ENGl-
NEERS OF RECLAMATION
SERVICE MEET APRIL 80.
Will Take Up UmatiIIa and MaIheur
opositions-Engineer Is Now
Working On Plans.

The board of consulting engineers
of the governments reclamation serv-
ice will meet at Ontario April 80 when
the Malheur and Umatilla projects
will be definitely settled. This i'm
portant information has been an
nounced from the office of John T.
for the state of oregon. Mr.. Whistler's
assistants are now busily engaged on
completing the maps and data cover
ing the two projects and as soon as
the work is done the documents will be
hurried to Washington.
Mr.. Whistler has been in Malheur
the past day or two and is expected
home today. His visit there was for
the purpose of clearing the situation
of distractions which have been the
cause of holding the project in abey-
ance. The holdings of private persons
have been a stumbling block. Many
owners of irrigated property have ap-
parently been unwilling to include their
holdings in the contract with the gov
eminent. There will be a tax of about
$50 an acre for all land included, and
the government will also endeavor to
regulate the amount of land held.
Despite these conditions, however,
the general sentiment of the people
of Malheur county for the project has
been SO strong that most of the pri-
vate holdings have been signed. Upon
Mr.. Whistler's arrival tonight more
definite information as to the condi-
tons will be obtained.
While the Umatilla project has been
a matter of uncertainty all the time
there is a growing belief that some
thing of a tangible nature will be
done by the government soon. A new
recommendation has been made by Mr.
Whistler which is calculated to irri-
gate several thousan acres in Nor
row county and the western part of
Umatilla county. The land to be in
cluded in this district will probably
reach nearly 100000 acres. White this
is a more limited tract than was at
first contemplated it will probably find
more favor with the board of engi-
neers for immediate action and it is
hoped that it will result in a greater
project for Umatilla county.
The members of the consulting board
of engineers besides Mr.. Whistler are:
A. P. Davis, assistant chief engineer
of Washington, D. c.; A. J. Wiley, of
Boise, consulting engineer for Wash
1ngton, Oregon, Idaho and Wyoming
and ID. c. Henney, member Of the re-
clamation bureau at Washington, D. c.

There is a strong possibility that
Rufe Turner will be the next opponent
of Battling Nelson, writes the sport
ing editor of the Seattle Times. Rufe
has been fighting around Philadelphia
ali winter, in six-round bouts, and he
cleaned up everything set in front of
him. He writes a friend in Seattle
that he will be in this city about April
Is, ready to meet any man, white or
black, in his class
Jack Music of Stockton, who always
has a bet down on Rufe, no matter
whom he fights, has written the sport
ing editor Of The San Francisco Bulle-
tin that he is ready to post side bet
of $1,000 that Turner can beat Nelson
at 1873 pounds, weigh in at 6 o'clock.
Rufe will fight before the Frisco club
offering the best inducements, and
Music is authorized by MIN to sign ar
ticles, and Rufe will be ready to fight
within two weeks after he reaches the
coast.
AS to Turner's chances of beating
Nelson, there are those up this way
who believe that the black boy, proper
ly trained and handled, can defeat any
man of his weight in the country. 1t is
conceded that he is picking out the
hardest ones in the bunch, when he
goes up against the Dane, but Rufe
has been stalled off so long by Britt,
Young Corbett," Terry McGovern and
Joe Cans, that he is willing to take a
chance against any of them.
Around Philadelphia he has been
forced to fight men that outweigned
him by ten and fifteen pounds, yet he
laid them all away handiiy in six
rounds. Seattle sports know that Rufe
and strongest of them away if he but
lands it right, and if he is matched
against Nedson, and is made the short
horse in the betting, the black boy with
the ever-present grin will carry some
Seattle money into the ring with him.
While Rufe is one of the cleverest
boys in the ring today, it is doubtful
if he is strong enough to stand off such
a human battering ram as the Dane.
He can outlook the Battling one to a
certainty, and it may be that he can
do what Young Corbett failed to do
stop the Dane with right hand smash
that will send him to the mat for the
count. Corbett had no trouble in
clOuting the Dane about the head at
will in the first three rounds of their
last fight, but Nelson always came
back for more, and Corbett's strength
ner the same way, simply by superior
strength and stamina, but it would be a
pretty fight
Nelson has never been a picker since
he took up the fighting game. He has
| always been ready and willing to fight
| any one of his weight so match may
! be made. 1t is likely, however, that he
| will first try to force Britt into a match
| because he knows such a fight would
draw big house, and the fighters
these days always have an eye on the
box receipts.

Those acts of violence in Todd
county are greatly deplored in this
city by the friends of the tobacco
association. Riotous conditions
chargeable to the friends Of the asso,
citation can have but one result, a
loss of public sympathy. Vice Pres
ident Chas. E. Barker in the follow
ing statement, speaks wisely and
truly: 1.-The great battle with the
tobacco corporation has been won;
the victory is ours. We are salts
factorily sampling tobacco suitable
for the Italian contract, other buy
ers are at our warehouses waiting
for the tobacco we have left, and we
shall be able to sell all we have at
satisfactory prices. We again urge
our people to be patient and stead
fast, and, above all. to be prudent
and moderate in word and deed.
Let us frown down and discounte-
nance all forms of violence. We have
public sympathy and the law on our
side; let us keep them there. No true
friend of our association could adj
wise otherwise"

AT First Presbyterian Church
to Follow Gideons.

Arrangements for the meetings at
the Baptist Church during the FIRST
week in January have about been
completed.
Mr.. Charles Palmer, who IS regu-
larly employed by the Gideons, will
be the speaker for FIVE consecutive
nights. All the churches in the city
will join in the services.
Rev. Edward H Bull, pastor Of the
First Presbyterian church, has ar
ranged with Rev. Thos. B. Terhune,
of Huntington, Ind. to come here and
conduct revival services, beginning,
Monday night, January 9th, and con-
tinuing for ten days or more.
Mr.. Terhune is a Kentuckian,
graduate of Center College and Nc
Cormick Institute, Chicago. He has
been highly successful in evangelistic
work and never fails to attract large
audiences. He came here last year
to assist Mr.. Bull in a series of meet
ings, but preached only once. The
smallpox scare gave rise to report
that the City Council had determined
to close all churches and schools, and
under the circumstances MI. Terhune
and the officers of the church thought
it best not to hold the services. So,
after preaching Sunday morning Mr..
Terhune left, promising to return
when called and when conditions
were more favorable. People who
hear him once will be glad to hear
him often. He makes no attempt at
oratory but breaches the Gospel in
such a plain and earnest manner that
all can understand and appreciate.
While he wants to see all churches
built up and strengthened, he is a
soul-seeker more than aaything else.
