SOUTH AFRICA NO PLAGE FOR A WHITE MAN RAYMOND NEBELUNG WRITES HIS OPINION OF A FAR-AWAY COUNTRY Conditions in the Boer Republic Not Up to His Expectations—Peeved at the Beastly Highways and Primitive Mode of Traveling—Expects to Give Up His Government Job and Return Home After a Year's Experience. Raymond Nebelung, who left here last September for Pretoria, South Africa, under a 3-year contract with the agricultural department of the South African republic to teach the Boers how to grow oranges, apparently found conditions extremely unsatisfactory on his arrival. Judging from his letters he is peeved over the inefficiency of the postal department, as he had received only one letter and no newspapers from here on the date of his last letter. Also the natives fail to measure up to his expectations. He misses the civilization of the good old U. S. A., and announces his determination to jump his job and return home after a year's service. He will return by way of Asia, completing a trip around the world. It took six week to reach Pretoria from Anaheim, via New York and London. Following is an extract from a letter written Dec. 30: I managed to get through Xmas all right, as we had a kind of a party here where I am staying. I don't know what I would have done I hope now something to do. There is a chance that I may be in Pretoria for six months later on, as the chief of horticulture may take a vacation and leave me here. I hope so. I get along better here, where I have breakfast and supper in a good boarding house. I am certainly anxious to hear from you and hope some letters get through soon. I am getting quite a lot of other mail. Five letters yesterday, but I would sure like to hear from home. We are having a big strike here, and the railroads may go out. That will hold up all mail for a while. About 30,000 miners are out now.

I don't know what I would have done had I been in a hotel. Gone crazy probably. These people are certainly nice and I couldn't be made to feel any more at home. We had roast duck, canned beans and asparagus and good things like that to eat. We took a ride in the afternoon. I will be here over New Years and then take a trip. This week's mail came in again with no letters. About two and a half months now since I have heard from home, but I had a letter from Violet the week before. I sure can't understand it. I wonder if you have my right address. I am going to change it now to 224 Schoeman St., Pretoria, as I can get it a day quicker that way. Now for the big news. About next Christmas or New Year's you are going to have a visitor—maybe for quite a long while, as I am going to be back about that time. I have given this a rather fair trial and I do not like it. If I were always in Pretoria it wouldn't be so bad, but I can't stand the traveling here. The trains are dirty and slow, the country hotels are awful, and the food is getting me so that I never want to eat. There isn't a thing to do—no place to go except picture shows and the pictures are all 3 or 4 years old. I can't afford an automobile—Fords cost $1200 and gasoline is 90 cents a gallon. In these little country villages, where I have to stay at times the hours seem like days, and well I just won't do it. I am going to stay a full year, and then leave—and I will come home with more money that I left with anyway. I'll make it a year's trip around the world without costing anything, even if I have to pay back my passage over. I will come back by way of India, China, Japan, the Philippines and San Francisco. That will take me around the world, which is worth while, and that, and the good experience I am having here, will be worth a year's time, especially if it doesn't cost anything. I have several plans as to what I will do when I get back, but won't decide on any definitely.

I am not sorry that I came—rather glad, because this experience and traveling I could have gotten in no other way. I don't mind the lonesome hours so much now that I have made up my mind when I will leave, and a year is a short time. I am wondering how everything is at home, and hope that there will be a letter next week. Also some papers. I would surely like to get a Times every Sunday, and I wonder if the most of it could be sent. These papers here have no news at all. Extracts from a letter written January 14: I haven't received any letters or papers yet though, and I have given up pressing what has become of them. What address did I leave? I thought it was care Department of Agriculture, Pretoria, and all my other mail is coming through that way. Be sure and get all the copies of the Gazette since October 1 and send them. I just got back from a trip and found it worse than ever. I was just about eaten up for three nights by mosquitoes. I don't mind Pretoria so much, as there is a little something to do here.

In fond remembrance of my dearly beloved husband, John Hahn, who left us March 3, 1917: Five years have slowly passed away; Leaving their shadows, thick and grey. MRS. ISABELLE HAHN. STOLEN CAR FOUND BADLY MESSED UP Found about two hours after it had been reported stolen, a Ford coupe, registered to Gilbert Kraemer, of Placentia, and driven to Santa Ana by his son-in-law, Boyd Munger, is in a garage for general cleaning. City Marshal Jernigan and other officers who examined the car after it had been located, formed the opinion that it was messed up by someone who had a grudge against either Munger or his father-in-law, Mr. Kraemer. Crude oil had been poured over the floor of the car, over the seats, running boards, and the oil cups were flooded with the thick mixture. City Marshal Jernigan advised Mr. Munger to take the car to a garage and have the bearings cleaned. He suggested that the person who poured the crude oil into the car might have injected enough emery dust to cut the bearings, should the car be run under its own power. One door had been knocked off and it showed other indications of abuse at the hands of the person who took it in the absence of Mr. Munger. The car was stolen while he was attending the Yost theatre. It was found at the corner of Third and Lacy streets about 11:30 o'clock. SOME CHANGES IN COUNTY THE ORANGE SHOW Out where the Colorado desert once was the white man came and planted dates. They grew and bore abundantly. The weather was not to the man's liking, however, for it was intensely hot. The heat filled the dates with sugar. People liked them and they sold at fabulous prices. Then the grower boasted of the heat which he had formerly excused. Another great California valley where summer prevailed was that of the San Joaquin. It boasted of its heat and even made virtue of the fact that in the mountains along its eastern edge the snow-fall was the greatest of any place in America, and as a reason for the boasting called attention to the fact that the summer's sun and the winter's banks brought together in the vineyards of the valley resulted in vast wealth because of the sugar stored in the rains. Following the example of these growers, the grower of the golden orange ceased apologizing for the weatherr which at times he felt was unfriendly. When he saw indications of mid-winter-cold stalking through the orchards where the citrus grows he said it is well and he began to boast of the fact that all of the places in the world where the orange reaches greatest perfection in flavor, in acid and in sugar, there is none equal to that section where frost danger is great. He pointed to tropical Brazil, where none ever heard of shiploads nor of 50,000 carloads of oranges being shipped from that tropical country, where the Washington Navel orange originated. The islands of the Caribbean, and in fact all other places with tropical conditions, have failed, in producing the perfect orange. But crowded up on the foothills of the snow-clad mountains of California the Navel reaches perfection and wealth is increased. So annually the growers of the orange, the lemon, the lime, the pomelo and the citron come together with their products and make a show national in scope and boast of the perfection of the orange. This year's exhibition is the twelfth. Several acres of Urbita Springs park were required to house the exhibits and the attractions brought together. There were three monster tents, the central and larger being filled with enough emery dust to cut the bearings, should the car be run under its own power. One door had been knocked off and it showed other indications of abuse at the hands of the person who took it in the absence of Mr. Munger. The car was stolen while he was attending the Yost theatre. It was found at the corner of Third and Lacy streets about 11:30 o'clock. SOME CHANGES IN COUNTY "An agricultural survey of Orange county shows that there have been many changes since George Washington's time," said Floyd Scott, assistant farm advisor, discussing present conditions as compared with those existing in the infancy of the Golden state. "In 1785," said Scott, "the center of population in this county was a San Juan Capistrano. The famous old padres could not begin to foresee the wonderful growth that was to come. In this connection a few comparisons are intensely interesting. "In the period from 1782 to 1832, there were no citrus groves. Figures available for the year 1921, show that there were 1,924,282 bearing trees with a golden harvest. In the early days there were no apple and pear trees. Last year there were more than 117,288 bearing trees of this kind. "From 1782 to 1832, they produced but 793,700 pounds of beans. Last year alone we produced 28,917,540 pounds. For the same period they produced no potatoes. Last year we produced more than three million pounds. Last year our total wheat production was 1,539,000 pounds, as against nine million pounds for the period represented by the years 1782 to 1832. "In 1921 Orange county produces nearly five million pounds of barley, compared with a little over four hundred thousand pounds produced between the years 1782 and 1832. "Other comparisons, for the same period, were as follows: "Livestock, 1782-1832, cattle, 14,000 head; 1921, 15,070 head; sheep, 1782-1832, 17,030 head; 1921, 178 head; goats, then, 1353 head; now, 552; swine, then, 206; now 6843; horses, then, 1070; now, 7355; mules, then, 82; now, 2919; poultry, then, no records available; now, 190,000." OVERTAKEN AT LAST H. C. Tullus, for whose arrest on a bogus check charge a warrant was issued... perfection and wealth is increased. So annually the growers of the orange, the lemon, the lime, the pomelo and the citron come together with their products and make a show national in scope and boast of the perfection of the orange. This year's exhibition is the twelfth. Several acres of Urbita Springs park were required to house the exhibits and the attractions brought together. There were three monster tents, the central and larger being filled with citrus fruits and citrus by-products, the others with implements and equipment used by orchardists and with commercial exhibits. Perhaps one of the by-products, a subject of particular interest in a year like this. The principal features of this exhibit were columns six or eight feet high and nearly a foot in diameter, made of monster glass tubes filled with sliced citrus fruits. There were by-products in the form of confections, marmalades, jellies, pies, cakes. There were oranges, lemons, grapefruit and limes preserved. There were "straws" and many other forms of candied and preserved peel, and nearly all of these by-products were exhibited as the product of the home kitchen. The University of California made its usual exhibit of varieties, and here again there were literally hundreds of different citrus fruits varying from the tiny kumquat to the monster and worthless Shaddock. Newspaper people gathered on the opening day and learned the lesson of the citrus and commented on the excellence of the exhibit. All California made greatest effort to bring of its high quality fruit because of the suggestion that had been given out after the cold spell that a citrus exhibit this year would be impossible. So when the fruits came together it was found "Livestock, 1782-1832, cattle, 14,000 head; 1921, 15,070 head; sheep, 1782-1832, 17,030 head; 1921, 178 head; goats, then, 1353 head; now, 552; swine, then, 206; now 6843; horses, then, 1070; now, 7355; mules, then, 82; now, 2919; poultry, then, no records available; now, 190,000." OVERTAKEN AT LAST H. C. Tullus, for whose arrest on a bogus check charge a warrant was issued more than a year ago, is in custody at Bakersfield, awaiting arrival of an officer from Santa Ana to bring him to this county. The prisoner is alleged to have signed the name of Hugh C. Tullus to a no-fund check for $10, which was passed upon O. A. Mullinix, Anaheim druggist. February 17, 1921. According to information in the hands of Sheriff C. E. Jackson, however, this was only one of a number of names under which he was known to the authorities in different places. From the state fingerprint bureau it was learned that he also used the names of Herbert C. Tullus, Ted Sampson and W. C. Hodges. Under the last mentioned name he is said to have been arrested by federal authorities in Los Angeles for violation of the conscription act August 17, 1918. He was released by the department of justice on November 8, 1918. Tullus succeeded in dropping from sight after the Anaheim check incident until last month, when Jackson received information that he was in Bakersfield. The warrant for his arrest was sent to Chief of Police Chas. Stone, of Bakersfield, on January 13. Jackson received word from Sheriff D. B. Newell, of Kern county, that Tullus was in custody. When a woman in Globe, Ariz., was acquitted of a charge of murder last week, the court room spectators broke into cheers. These last several minutes. Many rushed forward to congratulate the defendant. Yet it is not to be assumed that the citizens of Arizona are callous concerning murder. They do not make a heroine of a woman because she has slain a man. It may be that there is nothing in the statute whereby to justify her act. Yet public opinion did justify it, and in effect applauded it. There must be a deep reason for this. It is a reason appearing in many cases in which a man has been killed by a woman. It lies in the fact that the man is deemed to have got only that which he deserved. It appeared from the evidence in this case that the man had led the woman into a marriage ceremony which she deemed to be genuine, and to which her affections caused her to assent gladly. The revelation to her that the contract was spurious came when the man, after beating her, repudiated it, and married another woman. To end the protests of the one he had wronged he called upon her with the threat of violence, and at the instant she shot him, had, according to her version, actually attacked her. Whether or not he had made physical assault, probably weighed little with the jury. No community is going to mourn the exit of such a debased creature.
