Atlantic SeabOard we had the thirteen
original states of the union. On the
shores OF the Pacific, three states
cover about the same distance. Cal
i!Ornia is five times as large as South
Carolina; or to put it i'm another way,
you could place the states OF New
Rhode island, Maine, Vermont Con-
necticut New Hampshire and Ohio
inside OF the single state of California
and have five hundred square miles
of territory LEFT over. Transplamted
to the Atlantic its shore line would
reach from Charleston to Boston.
This fact serves to explain the great
diversity of climate to be found in
California. In describing California
1t is necessary to indicate whether
you are referring to Northern, Cen
trail or Southern California. 1t is
an error to suppose that anything
like uniformity of climatic conditions
prevail. Two great mountain ranges
run north and south through it. The
Coast range from ten to one hundred
miles back from the shores Of the
Pacific, and the Sierra Nevadas still
further inland. Up towards the
southern border Of Oregon, Mt. Shasta

In the southern part of the state the
