Information from T. A. Darling, Agent. Southern Pacific Co. AMERICANS LEAD AS COFFEE DRINKERS WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.—The Department of Commerce and Labor has just given out a monograph on the coffee trade of the world, which will be printed in the forthcoming issue of the "Monthly Summary of Commerce," published by the department. The report shows an enormous increase in the cultivation and consumption of this stimulant, which is one of the most striking features of the last quarter of a century. According to the report the center of production of coffee, which is an indigenous plant of Africa, may be said to have been traced to South and Central America, three-fourths of the world's selling furnished by Brazil. The Mocha and Java, which in old indicated the source of origin now become mere character quality and blend. It is an interesting fact that of consumption wherever coffee becomes part of the popular diet to increase continually. The nation in the United States has enormously and at present the cans consume between two-one-half of all the coffee. The statistics show that the consumption of coffee in some principal countries is as follows: United States, 10.79; United Dom., .71; Germany, .80; France Holland, 14:39. COPELAND ON VALUES The average voter at next month's election for city improvements will probably study more over the gas plant proposition than either upon the water works or electric lighting part of the plant. Upon the two latter he has been a municipal ownership man from the beginning, and he would not part with them for the best private control proposition that could be made him. He is not so well informed as to gas, and for that reason he should consider carefully the following facts pointed out by Engineer Copeland in his letter to Mr. Schwenckert: In regard to the Anaheim Gas Co.'s communication, they say: "Of course inferior machines of an obsolete type may be had for less money," etc. As a matter of fact, we can get a newer system than theirs and one that is guaranteed to give as good results. That is the reason we can get it cheaper than they got theirs some time ago. We are not pretending to say what they paid for their system some time ago. The city does not pretend to pay more than is necessary for depreciation in price of apparatus due to the rapid advancement of the art of making gas from crude petroleum. It is probable that the city will have to pay enough for this item as it is. The real cost of the machinery and erection of a gas plant by and by when the industry is settled down, will probably be in the neighborhood of $3000, including gas holder, but without the building or distributing system. My statement originally made before the board was that the city could put up a plant now to do the same work for the same cost for $12,000, or practically it could be duplicated for that sum. The communication also says: "According to figures in last week's Gazette, the total investment at Gilroy for buying an old style, gas machine and fixing it over, leaving a poor outfit, is $25,000." Turning on the searchlights, we find the following facts: Cost of buying out the private company in 1902, which My statement originally made before the board was that the city could put up a plant now to do the same work for the same cost for $12,000, or practically it could be duplicated for that sum. The communication also says: "According to figures in last week's Gazette, the total investment at Gilroy for buying an old style gas machine and fixing it over, leaving a poor outfit, is $25,000." Turning on the searchlights, we find the following facts: Cost of buying out the private company in 1902, which was then generating coal gas, $15,000; cost of installing a new oil gas generator Nov. 1, 1903, $3600; Balance added cost of distributing system, tools, etc., from 1902 to date (estimated) $6400; total investment to date, $25,000. Now, Gilroy has 6 miles of distributing system, and 230 consumers, so that their system outside the works should be worth about $13,000; add the new oil gas generator above, $3600; add for holder, etc., $2000; add for old coal gas generator discarded, $3600; amount paid old company for the "good will of the business," franchises, etc., $2600; total, $25,000. Furthermore, the question is asked, "How can Anaheim expect to buy a new, up-to-date plant in every respect for $13,500, when Gilroy has spent $25,000 and Santa Clara $38,650?" The answer is partly given above. The greater part of the cost of a gas system lies in its distributing system. Anaheim has 19,000 feet of distributing mains and fittings, while Gilroy has 32,000 feet. Santa Clara sells twice the gas that Gilroy does, and, it is reasonable to assume, has at least 50 per cent more length and cost distributing mains, or about $20,000. The city of Santa Clara has also a street lighting system of posts and taps and extensive works, easily worth the balance, or $18,650, which is only a little more than the Anaheim Gas Co. would wish to charge the city for the generating plant and holder combined. Finally, it may be said that the city's engineers have not made a snap judgment at the price of a gas works, but their estimates are made only after careful investigation, and they have definite, substantiating figures.

The road leading there was especially widened and relaid, and the highways for miles outside the city were repaired in anticipation of Miss Roosevelt wishing to ride over them. Korean high officials, including Gen-Min, formerly minister at Washington, gave a dinner yesterday in honor of Senatbr Francis G.
