FROM CALIFORNIA. A Former Citizen Writes from tiie Golden State. Jay C. Smith, Editor Hope Republican, Dear Sir: Will you kindly allow me a small space in your paper in which to answer a few questions which have been asked of me by some of my old friends around Hope, (he home of my birth? In the first place there Could be volumes written on this glorious''conntry and then not half the good qualities fully described. I am writing to-day in the sunshine of one of our beautiful April mornings where I can look out over the fields of grain, just now heading out and standing as high as man’s shoulders while at this time of the year we can step out in our yard and pluck from the evergreen orange, and the lemon, the golden and roost delicious fruit of this while here also we have one endless variety of other fruits, such as the French prune, the apricot peach, the apple, the quince, the pomegranate, the nectarine while here also grow the different kinds of nuts such as t he almond in its many varieties, the walnut, several Varieties, while at same time our yards are ornamented with endless varieties of evergreens, flowers and roses every day in the year,-frost being so light that even tomatoes grow and bear in some places every day in the year and no doubt while I am now writing some of our gardeners way over in Hoosierdom’ are sheltering carefully those rare plants which have been potted and housed away during five or six months of winter. Hare they are blooming every day in the year and ready for market. Here our foot hills rival the valley. We have the high mountains back of us protecting-us from the dry hot winds of the plains east of them and giving us the benefit of the warm reflection of the sun which shines almost every day. Oar grapes ripen at 2,000 .feet, elevation but seven days later than those from Fresno region. Our climate is not so hot being easier reached by winds which blow everyday from the ocean. We can dry raisins in the sun in spite of the occasional early rains which set in occasionally in the month of July. The highest temperature I have seen here was 110 degrees Fahrenheit. I must say those extraordinary hot days would seem very oppressive to our eastern people who are not accustomed to the climate. The atmosphere is so dry and invigorating one hardly feels the h -at. especially along the coast co in tries where a sea breeze is felt. The days are always pleasant while the nights are cool and refreshing making it necessary to sleep under the same blankets the year round. The air is wonderfully pure aud the logs which visit us from the ocean are quite pleasant, pure and refreshing. The Coast Range is different altogether. .It is affected by the evaporation of the ocean, and consequently cooler and temperate. The Coast Range cuts the valley sharply from the ocean border, and its peculiarity is best shown by fact that while (he grape never ripens at San Fraiicis-o, ten miles inland just b 'hind the Coast Range lies the land which supplies the city nearly nil the y ' iv round with the most delicious strawberries and grapes.

Most people who come to California stop in San 'Francisco. The climate seems most agreeable to them on their first arrival and there are more fellow countryman and all the advantages which city life offers. Hut the most acceptable openings are in the interior,especially in those new districts where some of the large holdings are, being subdivied and sold at moderate prices to eastern people who are now seeking homes in oar golden State. Those are the people who develop our resources by planting orchards and improving their little homes,making themselves well to do and in five years from the time they arrive they are well fixed. This is especially true of those who settle on some of the colony lands which were lately placed on the market. These are the ones who generally reap the large benefit which naturally comes to them from the, large increase of values of their land. One great reason for this increase of value per acre is that the property in these colony tracts is generally settled up quickly. At the end of five years new settlements have an abundance of fruit for drying and canning. Capital comes in and puts up a drying establishment for taking care of the fruit raised, and paying each in gold for his fruit and giving employment to a thousand boys, girls and women, those. On the other hand a great many come to this State purchase their tickets either for Los Angeles, San Francisco or snipe other large city o.i the coast where property is very high, living is high, fuel is high. The consequence is that a great many invest their savings in soma finely improved property. In a few months they see their mistake and are dissatisfied. Oa ths other hand those coming to California for a home especially those with limited means should avoid the largo places and go where the land is cheap; improve it as others have done-and in five or six years be independent. Hoping the above lines will answer all the questions from some of ray former associates about old Hope. I am yours truly P. Fry. Nipomo, California. METHODIST EPISCOPAL.

AUSTRIAN WORKS OF ART. j To be exhibited at tlie World’s Fair, j Every lover of of the beautiful and of all forms of art will find a groat deal worth sec- ! Ing at the Columbian exposition. Vvnneso paintings, two hundred in number, have now reached Chicago, and will be placed at once in the Art Building. The Austrian pictures would have been much fewer but for the personal intervention of Emperor Francis Joseph, who has not only sent a large number of his own, but induced a number of others to | contribute. The commissioner says, that al- I though the collection is comparatively small, . each painting Is a masterpiece, nearly all of t:*.em having been given medals at the various exhibitions in Europe, and with very | few exception they are all loaned. The list Is headed by five allegorical paint- | lugs by Hans Marken, which are loaned from ; the Emperor’s private collection. They rop- j resent the five senses, the figure of a woman being iu each. Aiurher prominent.painting j will bo Munkaczy’s “Christ Before Piloto,” which is owned in this count ry, but comes with the Austrian collection. Prominent I among the landscapes will be Schindler’s i “Cemetery in Dalmatia,” and the “Hunting j Master,” by Canon, which is loaned by Count j Hans Wilczek, of Vienna. The ‘'Market j H -'cne in Cairo,” by Leopol O. Muller, Is one of j the best pieces of figure painting in' the col- \ lection. Of the portraits, HunSTemple, the i the Austrian comrnissioner,hasoncof William Unger, the famous etcher, who in turn exhibits two—one of Rembrandt and one of Rubens’s sons. Austria’s most famous ! woman painter is Mmo. Woislngn, who sends three, which have all been awarded medals at the exhibition in Vienna. They are “Morn- | ing at the Seashore,” “Breakfast in the ! Country” and “The Laundress of the Mount- j ains.” A very large historical painting | called the “First Court of the Hussites,” by 1 Borzik.will be placed in the north a lcove of the | Austrian space, beside a heroic statue of the . emperor. Victor TUgner is considered by j many to be the first portrait painter of the i present day. t or years his entire time Iias j been taken by the members of the royal families of Europe,and his portrait of Francis I Joseph has been sent by the Emperor himself for exhibition.—Springfield uVlassJ Republican. . .
