In Warmer Climes. 
The many friends of Augustus G. 
Monteiro, who was for many years in 
the barber business in Manchester, 
and who left here with his family for 
Oakland, Cal., in the early fall, will be 
interested to hear from him in his 
new home. Mr. Monteiro has a very 
good position as salesman with the 
Jackson Furniture company of Oak- 
land. Ina letter to the editor of the 
BREEZE this week he says, among 
other things: 
«Were I a writer I could, perhaps, 
fill many pages with something con- 
cerning this part of the country which 
might interest at least some of your 
readers. Of course, I have not trav- 
elled to any extent, and for that rea- 
son I could not say much except 
concerning Oakland and its vicinity. 
‘‘T think that the opportunities here 
are many for people with some capital, 
especially in real estate. Oakland, 
according to all accounts, is destined 
to be the principal city of the State, 
inside of at least 25 years. 
“The suburbs of this city are some- 
thing grand. Starting from the centre 
and taking any direction, in five min- 
utes one finds himself walking by fine 
estates, with beautiful lawns, large 
palm trees, and, in fact, all kinds of 
shrubs. 
“ Theclimate is fine. It seems odd 
to me to see those who work out-of- 
doors in’ theirs shirt “sleeves.” elie 
clipping from one of the San Francisco 
papers, which you will find enclosed, 
will give you an idea of the weather 
we are having.” 
The clipping to which Mr. Monteiro 
refers gives one an idea of the differ- 
ence in climate between California at 
this season and New England. It 
follows : 
‘Christmas shoppers in San Fran- 
cisco did not realize how lucky they 
were yesterday as they trudged the 
streets in comparatively light attire 
and comfortably hunted for Yuletide 
bargains. The sun shone. The air 
was just cool enough to be bracing. 
Occasionally summer clothes could be 
seen. 
«‘ The average temperature here was 
54, and the minimum for the day was 
only 50. 
“On Market street and down town 
the air was calm. There was none of 
the piercing wind that is making peo- 
ple shiver in the East. The atmos- 
phere was clear and clean, too, from 
the drenching it got the day before. 
“At the beach and on the bay the 
vistas were particularly crystaline and 
attractive Across the bay the hills 
were covered with verdure, and trees 
were putting forth new leaves and 
buds. Verily, this is God’s country.”’
