Appell, a representative of a large hardware firm in tho East, and who has recently returned from a trip to South Africa, gave a Salem reporter a short summary of the nature of the country and people in an interview today. "Many people," said Mr. Appell, ' have a mistaken idea that Johan nesburg is on tho sea cm , but such is not the case, as it is 1,100 miles inland, and is reached by railroads from Cape Town and Dclegoa Bay. I traveled in a two wheeled cart drawn by 16 oxen, the usual conveyance of that coun try, when away from the railroads. The climate of the country is very much like Oregon, the only differ ence being a less precipitation. The population of Johannesburg in about 00,000, about half, being natives. There is a curfew ordi nance and all natives must retire to their homes at 9 o'clock The buildings in the cities are us fine as are to be found in the ordinary American cities of the same size. Tho most of the lumber used is shipped from Tacoma, Wash., to Delegoa 15ay, which is about 230 miles from Johannesburg, and i-i the nearest sea-port town. A ruil road lias recently been completed oeiween the imy ami tbe city. Mr. Appell was in theeountrv from April to September, traveling almost continuously, and alwava in the way mentioned, lie exhi bited a very comprehensive map .f the country, and interesting pnolo graphs. He reports the province of Natal as being the only really warm place ho was in, nl that tropical fruits in abundance was raii-ed there. Nearly all of the wheat consumed is imported from th? United States and Aust-Hlin. To illustrate the nature ot the the negroes of that country he said a man's greatest ambition is to earn enough to enable him to buv six oxen, which he exchanges fora'wife, who from that timo does all tho work.
