good to say of California, where he
has been for about year. Mr.. Neill,
accompanied by his family, went to
California, expecting to enjoy the
pleasures Of the country, claimed by
many who have gone there; but he
says they do not exist, that the peo-
pie there exist but do not live, that |
they can only grow certain things, |
that the climate is bad, that it rains |
all of the time for while and then |
the land dries up. In telling of the
country he gave vent to general dis
with it. He says the peo-
pie claim they do not need meat, for
food, there, but he found when he
took parties out and he paid the bills /
that they ate meat as eagerly as Joe
state, he says, is good enough for him.
