wonderful difference in climate.
At Crater, 17 miles to the eastward
ot Crater Lake we found icicles as
thick as your thumb and a foot long;
we found the edges of the stream
jfrozen and a nklm of iceon-the
ponds. C We buttoned up our ..over
coats and pulled down the ear muffs
oi our caps.
Twenty-four hours later we nad shed
our overcoats and were sorry we bad
not brought our gauze underwear along.

fornia. during -the day we traveled 207
miles, a large part of the way toehig Over
mountain roads. We left Klamath
Kails, Or.i In the morning , and spent
the night at Red Bluff, OU. Kiccept for
occasional detours, the roads of Noj-tli
orn California are .like a boulevard. ,
Passing through Ager, Montague,
Weed, Stsson, Dunsmulr,. 'Delta,; and
: Balrd, we reached, Redding Just at sup
per time. .The roads were so good we
' decided to press on to Red Bluff. 28
miles distant. Our driver certainly
knew how to get speed, with safety,' out
of the machine. We were not supposed
to go over 35 miles an hour and so, in
stead of increasing the miles per hour
and running 40 or 45 miles an hour, he
reduced the minutes to the hour and we
i reeled off the legal distance at the rate
. rr IK mllajt In- 4.1 mlnntai
I kept track of the signboards and no
ticed that occasionally It would take us
10 minutes to make five miles, while at
other times we . would make -llvs- miles
in from six to seven minutes, Wita a
powerfully-engined automobile, it is cer
taJnrv. a delight to travel ovetJCaMfomia
boulevards. The road winds southward
like a? great gray tape or, olive drao no
bon. The roadway Is of concrete t ; la
many places it has Itad a coating of
bltulithks out on . too of the concrete,
which makes the roadway as smooth as
silk.
As we drove from Redding to ed
Bluff, to the eastward, silhouetted against
the horizon, was a line of rounded Duties
and peaks, of which Mount Lassen ls-the
most famous. Red Bluff , is the county
seat of Tehama county and is at the
extreme northern end of the Sacramento
valley. It is 210 miles from Ban mran-
cisco by the most direct road. - r, -
c In the old days Tehama, county was
considered good for stock raising only,
but today though muck' stock is still
raised- the big ranges have been broken
up into farms and orchards and you will
see extensive almond and apricot or
chards, as well as olive and prune or
chards and here and there oranges, figs
and pears. The H. J. Heinz company
owns extensive olive orchards In Te
hama count? and has an olive pickling
plant here. ,
' After a late slipper at Red Bluff. I
wandered around the town, sizing it up.
In one of the windows I saw a aispiay
of cotton In bloom. Falling Into con
versation with one of Red Bluffs citi
zens, I - secured a- good general idea of
the resources of Tehama county.
Tehama county's prosperity is based
on agriculture and stock raising. Hogs,
beef, cattle, sheep; dairying, poultry,
particularly turkeys, oranges, olives, al
monds, grain, fruit and alfalfa are the
money-making industries. The building
of good roads has added greatly to the
prosperity of the county for it enables
the farmer, 35 days a year, to take
largely Increased loads to market at de
creased cost for hauling. . :

eating the ordinary and ": expected
amount of sugar and candy this year.
the sugar bowl would not now be going
in hiding anywhere in the land. So say
the experts, and they appear to have
the figures to prove it.
1 Before the war the per capita con
sumption in this country never went
beyond 85.4 pounds, and went that high
only In one year,-191S. During the war,
With rationing and exortations to econ
omy, this was reduced to 73.4 pounds
in 1918, and even then ' the' Americans
were looked upon almost as sugar glut
tons abroad, for In most foreign coun
tries the normal : consumption is rarely
above 60 or 65 pounds,
Figures of the first nine months of
the present year indicate that the reac
tion from 118 has gone beyond all cal
culations. The American consumer has
been going strong, and his average for
the year thus far is nearly 93 pounds.
178190 MORE SCGAtt
The effect of that has been, to use up
600,000 tons more in nine months than
were used last year, and about 400,000
tons more than were ever used before in
a slllmar period of time. 'Another rseult
has been to dislocate all estimates of
the sugar reserves and cause acute con
ditions here and ther, aggraavted by
strikes, which have interfered with nor
mal loading of ships.
These essentia features of the situa
tion are given by George A. Zabriskte,
chairman of the federal sugar equaliza
tion board, who. Is supposed to know as
much as anyone about the sugar supply.
With the production approximaUey
known, the problem is easily presented
in a mathematical way.
Be it remembered that the normal
sugar consumption of the country is
around 4,OO0.0OQ tons If the -United
States were using no more than the nor
mal, the demand, wouldrbe supplied from
the following sources:

To this amount la to, be added the

but as an offer to sell en bloc has been
withdrawn: by the Cubans, and the pur

which Gary sent to the managers of the

made public In the press weeks ago. We
have heard nothing new from Judge

SARCASTIC VIALS OPEKED
Gompers. opened the vials of sarcasm
In replying to Gary's statement regard
ing unorganised labor. He Jeered the
"solicitude of American employers of
unorganised labor and said:
"These people know where to come
when they are in trouble. -They come
to us for succor."
Gompers said:.
'The United States Steel corporation

sources to the public, the press agents.

hopes and aspirations of its unorganized
and organized workers, and then, here
they come talking of the rights of unor

JGOMFERS DRAWS PARABLE
Gompers criticized, an artist who had
drawn a picture of a fat. sleek man. a
leader in the steel strike, who -is fol
lowed by a train of gaunt, hungry men.
'7 want to tell you that those gaunt
human .beings are no credit to the

Gompers doubted the usefulness of the

"It we eannot move the minds of
