THE DESERT LAND LAW.

BY a decisive vote yesterday the
House committee on public lands de.
cided to report adversely on the bill
repeating the desert land laws. This
decision will be satisfactorily receiv-
ed by the people of New Mexico. The
growth and development of our Ter
ritory depends to a great extent on
the desert land law that is now on
the statute books. The gigantic
frauds which have been pefpetrated
under this law of which SO much has
been said and written of late as far
as this territory is concerned, exist
more on paper and in the minds y
than in reality. If the government
never loses any more by fraud than
it has lost through the operations OF
this law in our territory its excheQ-
uer will b comparatively safe for
years to come. But whence n all
