PAN-CALIFORNIA.

THE Colusa Sun makes note OF a letter written
by Mr. Crosette an old California journalist to
the effect that in the East quite generally it is
believed that Southern California, meaning that part
of the State below the Tehachapi Pass is all there is
OF this State In the East it is believed, he says,
that to that section confined climate,
fruits, our productive capacity commercial
erprse and prospects, and in effect all the material
elements that make Z State.
We can add our testimony that Of Mr Crosette
that this the case, and congratulate Southern Cali
forna upon the generality of its excellent advertise
ment as the whole thing
If this Eastern opinion were it would be glory
enough to make State to have such section
Southern California, so in the long the State is
not much out and injured by the error The harm is
done to the many who desire seek homes here and
leave that desire unsatisfed because they look at
the map and refrain from seeking what they in
a State that has small desirable as Southern
California. 1t becomes the duty of all public-sprited
media OF information therefore, to stand for pan
California. No section has any monopoly of our
Justly celebrated climate. Physically the State is
beautiful and equally productive of the articles
of luxury and necessity throughout its entire nine
hundred miles OF length and the same kisses it
into blushing with the fruits and flowers from
border to border The ascripton of peculiar quail
old Californians 1t was put in action for pefsh
purposes by the great company OF Eastern real estate
agents who staked Southern California off in town
lots and doomed the great speculation which for
time rivaled the Mississippi scheme OF John Law,
the morus multicaulus speculation, which was to
dress every American in honne-grow silk 1t was
these Eastern real estate experts who used to tell
renderee that San Francisco Bay froze solid every
winter and that ice and locked all life in cold
storage in Northern California for half of every year
It was speculative fbbng, but it left deep impress
sion upon which the Eastern complained Of is
based to this day.
Mr. Crosette advises Northern California move
1nent to enlighten Eastern opinion, but demur
that. What is wanted is pan-California movement
in which north and south will cordially join to do
justice to the whole State In the State Board OF
Trade this plan will be found already in action
There the whole State, from Los Angeles to the Sis
kiyous, is represented The products maps and
statistics of every county kept for distribution
and exact justice is done to every section If that
plan have put into It the exquisite enterprise which
has characterized Southern California every section
will be benefited and the prosperity of the State in
creased
The whole State is like perfectly beautiful woman
But if the beauties of such woman are divided anc

been cast elsewhere they will hasten hither, will
