CALIFORNIA – From an ex-Wellander
[Welland Tribune, 21 September 1900]
The following chatty letter from an ex-Wellander lady, for some years past a resident of California, will be of interest to many readers of the Tribune:-
Whittier, Calif.
Sept. 12, 1900
Editor, Welland Tribune, Welland, Ontario:
Dear Sir,-The label on my paper informs me that my subscription is nearly due, so, once more, I take pleasure in forwording a P.O. money order for one dollar for renewal of the ever welaome paper, “The Welland Tribune.”
I have just returned home from a two weeks vacation at Long Beach, down by the “Big Pond,” where the breeze is very refreshing and invigorating. Everything up here by the hills seem dryer and browner than ever. In fact it is too dry to write much. It requires some imagination to paint a glowing picture of this section at this time of the year, i.e., take the country in general. To be sure we have our pleasant little home places, where water is abundant, and some places are very barren. However, we hope for the laying of the dust and the hills and fields to look green when our winter rains come. The development of “oil wells,” is making Southern California boom at present. I sincerely hope no one will get left (to use a slang phraise). Fruit is high; so are vegetables. I must close with kind regards to all.
Yours sincerely,****
As the letter was not statedly for publication we withold the name, and would add that the Tribune fully appreciates and feels grateful for the kind words, and hopes ever to deserve them. And if our correspondent is tempted to woo the slippery goddess of Fortune on the field of speculation we sincerely hope she many “strike ile.”
