In tho first place, California is known
not by what millions of people havo
seen, but by what millions have read.
Europe is better known by contact TO
Americans than California. A promi-

cred California and filled the newspa-
pers with the interesting and suggestive
impressions it had made upon his mind.
He had been to Europe 20 times and to
the Pacific coast once, which is once Of

travellers of the eastern seaboard Still
further, the AHglo-Saxon race is dealing
with new conditions in California.
Coming from dense forests, from land
OF heavy rainfall and from a temperate
climate, where winters are long and
stern, it settled in treeless deserts. in q
land of slight and peculiar rainfall and
under a sky that never knows the win

it has outlived a trying experience of
lesser economic epilepsy and come to the
threshold of its true career strengthened
and purified by the extraordinary proc

farreaching changes have swept through
the industrial and social life of the state,
swiftly altering the conditions of labor
and of business. Even for those living
i'll the midst OF these events it has been
difficult to read their significance and
estimate their influence on the ultimate
character Of the place and people. What
wonder, then, that to the outside world
California has meantime appeared like
a jumble of gold, palms and oranges,
of gilded millionaires and hopeless pau

ously on small sections of paradise and
Of servile alien laborers herded in sitting
