Coffee-growing in Papua

THE project for growing coffee on a large scale in Papua collapsed just when it appeared at the point of taking practical shape.

All plans were drawn up and Mr. Regan, the man who had had the initial experi ence in planting coffee, left to spend a couple of days at Hisiu. That night, at Hisiu, he went to bed about 11 p.m., apparently in excellent health. Half an hour later he was dead. As a result of this, the plan was abandoned.
