C. May 16.-Some timo next June the Interior depart- T?1 j"Llhrow 011on ,0 on,r- a tract of land 220 miles .lorn; nnd 2ft miles wide down in Southern California, and from present Indications there Is a grcni -rush" to get lu early after tho opening. This fact Is difficult to understand sinco the lands are almost valueless, being arid and located In a place where the general government will probably never attempt their reclam ation. Hut there seema i i,n strange fascination about government ui'i-iiuiKB, ami mere are always more than enough settlers to take up all the lands. This is beHevort t, thn case In California. Lands Described. ThO landS In (lllPStlnil lln nlnn. thn line of the Santa Fe railroad. Many years ago this tract was inr.t,,,i.i wltlihi tho grants to tho Southern Pa- cine ami io me Atlantic and Pacific railroads, their grants overlapping. The even sections, under a ruling of the department, were retained by the government, and the railroads divided the odd sections evenly between them. Tho subsequent failure of the At lantic & Pacific Company to build Its line forfeited its grant, and it is these lands that are to be opened Not a Solid Block. This, of course, means the tmri is not a solid block 20 by 220 miles, but about one quarter of that area, scattered over tho entire tract In nnar- ter sections. Tho even sections have very few of them been settled upon, as the land is of no value until Irri gated, but the Influx of settlers may lead to the formation of private irri gation companies. The land office can not understand why there should l.n such a rush fur arid tracts in California when there are thousands of acres of better land in any one of the western states, and great tracts of fertile agricultural land yet unsettled upon In Washing ton and neighboring states.
