Editorial Correspondence SANTA CRUZ. Calif., April 1. Call, fornia is not so much a great state as a great organization. Everything Is organized from Shasta Springs to San Diego and from wine grapoa to grape fruit. California's attitude toward grape-fruit 1b typical of her attitude toward everything Callfornian. If you order grape-fruit for breakfast in a California hotel you get a small wiz ened product, no larger than an orange, far Inferior In quality and I flavor to the Florida product But If you order a Florida grape-fruit you will get a cold icy stare and the infor mation that Florida grape-fruit are not allowed to cross the California border. At least that is whut one California hotel manager said. Alore- i over in his opinion the Florida grape fruit is an inferior product, it is larger, perhaps, and more pretenslous in appearance, but It is a decidedly over-rated product. It is full of pith and air, not to be compared to the solid juicy dellclousnesfl of the Cali fornia product. So there you are. You either eat California grape-fruit or you don't ent grape-fruit in California. And while that may be disappointing to the tourist with a preference for I Florida fruit, It Is not disappointing to J the California grape-fruit producers.

It seems a constant holiday in this glad world of ours, and all my friends arc out at play, liko 'birds among the flowers. No higher purposo may be seen, no more devout desires, than just to burn up gasoline, and wear out rubber tires. Joyriding is tho only plan that seems to stick and stay; yet somewhere there must be a man who works eight hours n day. Men rido beneath tho glowing stars in costly limousines, or olso in small synthetio cars that cost three hundred beans j they're driving in tho garish noon and in the gloaming gray, but whore is he, tho lonesome loon, who works eight hours a dayt Sad is his fate, where'er he is; he bends to useful toil, while countless autos pass him whiz, and uso up gas ami oil.

You can't beat a spirit like that. It is essentially the spirit of subordinat ing every individual interest to the Interest of the state as a whole. As it Is with grape-fruit, so it Is with apples and pears and grapes and oranges and olives and artichokes and everything else. There are no individ ual growers, every grower is merely a cog In some well greased organization machine. Independence and free lanc ing is treason. The individual grower who refuseB to get In line, has one Devil of a time, not-only commercially but socially. He Boon finds he Is an outcast And no one likes to be an outcast. Particularly when it costs money. It took California many years and it cost her growers thousands of dollars to discover the value of team play and 100 percent cooperation. But that discovery once made there seems no possible chance of Its lesson ever being forgotten. What California has done It would seem any state might do. But perhaps every state must learn her lesson by hard experience.

C, April 3. i "Americans are accustomed to thlnk ' lag of Uncle Sam as an owner of vol- canoes because of the array of them I on the Alaskan Peninsula, headtul by j huge Kaimal, and their occurrence In tho Hawaiian islands and the Philippines,"' says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C, headquartora of the National Geographic Society. "Volcan'.sm, however, Is not a far away thing after all. The renewal of activity at Mt. Lassen, In northern California, early in March, empha sizes the fact that we actually have a live volcano within the boundaries of one of our most populous states. This example of one of nature's most powerful forces Is only about 200 miles north of San Francisco and 300 milos south of Portland. Kruptlon of 1014 Historic "When Mount Lassen became ac tive in 1914 it was an epoch making event, for It was the first volcanic eruption within the borders of the I'ntted States proper known to have taken place within historic times. Stones and mud were thrown for half a mtle from the crater, while ash drifted for 15 to 20 miles. Previ ously the region had been a sort of Yellowstone with boiling mud springs emitting sulphurous gases; and a few asltated springs that approach gey lora In activity. "Mount T.ivren does not present a rasp of a volcano appearing inexplic ably In a peaceful countryside. It Is rn the ertre of one of the greatest nnc'.ont lnvn flows In the world a flow which covers large areas in northern California, Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho. Upon another "dtrn of the same lava flow Is situated Yellowstone National park, with its near-volcante phenomena. "On this same flow, farther north, are the huge volcanic cones, now ex COMMUNICATIONS To the Editor: The road from Yreka, Calif., down the canyon to the mouth of the Little Shaitta is the narrowest and most dangerous stretch of highway on the Pacific Coast. As long as the state of California leaves this death trail open to traffic It should be held criminally liable for every accident that occurs on It. Sunday afternoon, about five miles this side of Yreka, coming back from California, we came to a long pro cession of cars lined up along the side of the trull. Not caring to "go through " wo lined up with the rest. No question was necessary. In the canyon two hundred feet below, struggling along over tho rocks were three small groups of men working their wny up the creek each carrying on a stretcher the body of a wounded or dead person. Another group part way up the cnnyon'"slde woro work ing over tho body oil -a woman. Piled in a heap In tho creek below was the tangled wreck of a large touring car. I learned that a short half hour be fore a man with his family had been driving carefully 'along this ' trail south toward Yreka He was hugging the rocky cliff as closely as possible, when at thl.i, one of the steepest tnd most dangerous parts of the trail where the trail hangs highest on the liff, he suddenly realized a, car from behind was passing', him. 'Then felt tho Impact of it against the front wheel as It flashed ahead of him and to safety, smashing as it swung in front of him, his front wheel, taking off the hub cap and bending tho tie rod so his steering gear was useless. Think of the awful moment for this man when tho front wheels of his car hended directly across the road to plunge down over that awful cliff. The erazy fool that was to blame still lives. The stato of California that maintains this death trap cannot he held responsible The speed cop that should bo continually on this stretch of trail, especially on Sunday afternoons was most likely hiding behind some sign board down about Oranadq waiting for some one to slip across the city limits at more than on miles an hour, so that he coulifl Mille t a twenty or fifty dollar fine Monday morning, and get his name in rhe local paper as being an efficient traffic officer. We came on home over tho 81s- klyouB, None of us certainly were in any mood for reckless driving. On top of tho Siskiyous wo struck a snow and rain storm." Two cars passed us on the way down. The drivers of both of them should havo had their licenses rovoked for life. Wo had taken one hour longer to come in than we had allowed It would take. I had with me two men from Port land, whom I had agreed to put on the train at Medford. I slipped into Phoenix at around twenty miles per hour. Our traffic cop wns not up In the snow where tho highway leads over tho Siskiyous nor watching tho dangerous turns along Roguo River between Oold Hill and Grants Pass. His ability ns an officer is measured by tho number of ten nnd twenty dollar fines ho collects for tochnlcal violations of tho speed law. Patrol ling the Siskiyous days liko yesterday or tho highway along Hoguo River to prevent accidents, or help in esse of iiccldcnts, seemingly Is not so im portant.

How ever, anyone can buy from the drug store a tiny bottle containing directions. tinct, of Mount Rainier, Mount Hood and Mount Shasta. The activity re sponsible for these large peaks and for the extensive flow took place hundreds of thousands, or even mil lions of years ago, before the last Ice age. The region immediately around Lassen, alone, apparently has preserved a channel with the deep fires. Our Volcanic National Park "A few miles north of Lassen is a cinder cone from which probably took place the latest eruption In the United States before 191 4. , Tradi tions among the Indians of the rieigh- ! borhood tell of a time believed to have been 200 or 300 years ago j when smoke and cinders belched .forth from this peak darkening, the sky for days and scattering ashes over a large area.

I "In 1907 when all volcanic vents ; were believed to be extinct, Lassen ' and Cinder Cone were set apart as i small National Monuments to serve ! as examples of recent volcanic nc i tlvtty. Since 1914, when It became , known that there was present activity : In the region, an area of 125 square j miles around tho craters has been : made into Lassen Volcanic National park.

I wouldn't have driven quite so slowly," probably, com ing ovor the Siskiyous, would have a little more time to catch tho train and wouldn't have been caught going twenty miles per hour inside the city limits of Phoenix. The speed cop caught me Just as I was pulling up at tho depot at Phoen'ix. This morning I plead guilty and paid a fine of $20. J. C. BARNES.
