HE RAISES COFFEE
Charles T Manning of Nicar-
agua Here-yesterdays; 4
Charles : T. , Manntng of Metagalpa,
Nicaragua, arrived here yesterday from
St. Paul. He spent part of the day In
visiting f with his- friend. Philip : Bates,
business! manager of the Paclflo Miner.
Mr.; Manning la connected, with a num
ber pf ' Indiana people. In the coffee,
growlttg business. - The plantations In
Which he Is interested contain 1S00 acres
and these are seven in number. They
are located near.Ma'tagatpa, which -Is the
capital of tL department of the Nicara
guan government of the same name.
"I arrived at Matagaipa In the fall' of
1(9 . since which time we have . been
steadily developing our 'coffee Interests,"
said Mr. Manning4 yesterday, just' before
leaving for Salem: ' "We bought some of
our plantations and have developed oth
ers. Our principal tharket is In KeW
York. Americans are' the greatest coffee
consumers in the 'world, and New York
is naturally the world's greatest coffee
market - ' - - '.'
"W. produce what Is acknowledged to
be a particularly fine grade of coffee.
Even with the low prices that have pre- I
vailed for the past three years, our
product averaged to bring us 14 cents
last year. We have made one sale this
season- the crop Is just coining Inland
that netted us H cents, also. Our .cof
fees are mild in flavor. They are classed
in the market generally as Guatemalan
coffees, but from this time on they will.,
have their own distinctive name of Mata
galpah coffees. -
"The area in Nicaragua for producing
first -class grades of coffees Is limited,,
though the area devoted to general
coffeeralslng is very large. We find the
middle part of the northern portion of
the country the better location for, finer
grades. The harvest Season wlth; us ex-,
tends from November to March, Inclu
sive. , During that period we employ. en!
our plantations from iiak to 2000 peons,
or' common '' laborers. During ' the re
mainder of the year we find use only for'
from 60ft to 700. The pay of a peon Is
30 cents per day, Nicaraguan money.
Since $100 In United States gold coin Is
worth $400, you can figure out what a
peon can earn In one working day.' The
currency "of the country is based upon a
silver valuation.
"Matagaipa is a place of 6000 popula
tion and contains about ISO 'Americans,
all of whom, are engaged In eoffeegrow-"
ing. The town is 2200 feet above sea level
and has a mean average temperature of
72V4 degrees. It has a -delightful climate.
The better class of people are very pleas
ant to get along with. They feel very
friendly to the United States . and are
firm believers In the Monroe Doctrine.
They esteem the United States their pro
tector from the grabbing tendencies ; of
European powers, even to a greater de
gree than they care to.Adjiultvivi.

fall uDon some land mark that had not
been obliterated from his memoryv He
recalled how he and a sack of salt,took a
tumble Into the Willamette River" there
nearly half a century ago. J
Mr. Mountain said that' he was work
ing on the steamer Express that plied be

had no trucks and the .freight was being

was a flimsy affair and when Mr. Moun
tain got half way over It-with a ax

plank got to see-sawing. . Mountain, in
