CRATER LAKE, Ore. September %, 1905.
According to the biologists, the area OF
volcanic activity in the United States
stretched all the way from the Rocky
mountains to the Pacific. The Cascade
range In California Oregon and Washing
ton is made up almost wholly of volcanic
material, thrown out during series of
eruptions extending for ages from thou
sand different vents. At that time the tides
of the Pacific Tapped the feet of the Sierra
Nevadas and the ocean surf dashed against
the sides of Mount Rainier, Mount Hood,
Mount Baker and other familiar peaks of
the extreme northwest. Supported by the
buttresses of granite which now sustain
Crater lake stood a mighty peak with an
attitude great If not greater than that
of Mount Shasta IA, 444 feeO, to which the
name of Mazama has recently been given.
This peak wrecked by series of
convulsions-at least three-with periods of
centuries between them. Its final destruc-
ton was the browning event in the volcanic
history of the Pacific coast. When MaZama
finally blew up the upper 60O0 feet of the
mountain was scattered over a radius of
twenty miles, and you can distinguish the
debris today in the gigantic dumps of vol
canic matter which rise around it.
All of these dumps have names. The

piles of lava and pumice which lie between
them now form a wall encircling mighty
basin filled with deep blue sheet of silent,

Crater lake, and, as l have said in pre-

Canadian Tariff Exaetion.

toronto sun.
 One of the most striking illustrations of the development of selfishness which seems lnseparabie from the protective system Is found in the case of Canadian sugar refin- CTS. These refiners are protected against the competition of foreign refiners by a tariff on refined imported sugar of about per cent They are thus able to take a fairly large toll out of the Canadian con are not satisfied even with this. They are end of the industry by squeezing the pro- the preferential tariff. raw sugar from the British West Indies is allowed to enter Canada at a reduction of s3 Is per cent below the tariff imposed on raw sugar from other countries. The object of the Cana dian Government in making this reduction was to give our fellow colonists in the West indies. who produce raw sugar from cane. an advantage in the Canadian mar ket over their foreign rivals to the extent of this preference. But the action taken has not had the effect intended. Our Cana dian refiners have absorbed the whole of the preference for themselves. They pay the West Indian growers precisely the same price for raw sugar that the latter can ob- tain in the American market, although raw sugar can enter the Canadian market at about one-half the duty charged on en- tering the American market. Thus our refiners absorb all the benefits of the prefer entiaI tariff fin buying their raw material In the West Sndies and at the same time they exact the last copper the protective tariff gives in selling their refined product to the Canadian consumer.
