the Herald learns that the county of Tulare
bids fair 10 b come before long one of the
greatest agricultural and grazing counties In
the State. During the last four months, the
population has increased from 500 to 1900, and
over 1000 acres of land have been taken up
for settlement. Visalia. the county seat, has
been greatly improved, and is now one of the
most thriving little towns in the State. 1t Is
probable that large portion of the immigra.

of the lard is claimed under Spanish grants,
and wide field is therefore opened TO the
thrifty immigrant.
