Operations Of the Desert Land Law.

SAN FR,NCrc) May2.-rhe BuL etlH
this evening SAYS edItorIslIy OF the re
cent land grabs: Under tne desert land
law, land in Kernand and Tutor COUNTIES,
pre-empted under the desert land
law, is sandwlchod between tracts
which were never before deemed to be
ANYTHING el-s but agricultural lsnds, and
it has been thus far treated ss such. Ine
valley lands on the banks OF the GIls
river and other streams within the same
zone are, uuder literal construction,
desert lanes. So also is the creator part
OF the southern counties Had 100 fertile
and now highly cultivated land. OF Los
Angeles aud San Bernsrdisn couuties
been unoccupied, they would be subject
10 pre- emptlon under the desert land law
with Just as much propriety as lands that
are being now taken up undsr 1t.
The relations in regard TO irrigation
and capacity to raise agriculture!
crops are about the same rs the lrrigsole
lands Of Kern and Tulsre COUNTIES, and
those in Grla vsley sre desert lands IN
or, cisely The ssms sense, as are the lr.
rigsble lands Of San Gabriel Santa Anna
and Los Anrelos valleys. Il is scarcely
probable that 1t was contemplated that
the law should be so construed, because
some O. the mos. fertile unoccupled iAuca
in the territory would thus be included
