Further Observations
C H Jacobs has been looking
around some and writes the fol
lowing from Fresno California
under date of April 3
After traveling over a goodly
portion of California I am send
ing you my second impression of
this country this land of flowers
beautiful homes and great cli
mate where one can be uncom
fortably warm in the sunshine
and uncomfortably cool in the
shade As one man remarked
he was going back east where he
was not ashamed to shiver
Here he said the principal crops
are oranges and tourists and
they pluck the tourists first
The glowing descriptions of
this state by the chambers of
commerce and the real estate
men combined with the severe
weather of last winter have
brought thousands here seeking
new homes some with a few
hundred dollars they are willing
to invest in anything that will
help pay expenses and others
poor fellows have expended their
all to get here thinking they
could immediately get work
However there are 38000 idle
men in San Francisco alone
while the entire state is full of
those seeking work
Now this is a fine country for
people of means or those having
good and certain salaries but my
advice to the laboring man or the
man of small means is this is a
good country to stay away from
