whom have met since this question has been agitating the minds of the people. viz, that with 2JO,OOO acres of land in the northern part of the Imperial Val ley, not yet covered by water, but which, if public ownership obtains, will be cov- cred with water, the Land Office will not be able to employ clerks enough in it's present quarters to make out filing papers under the Reclamation Act. Californians alone will chiefly settle on the land. Eastern people may come, few of them, crowd in, and secure l6O acres of this valuable land under the Reclamation Act, but there are people enough right here in California, watch ing and waiting for an opportunity to place their filings upon these lands, if the government takes hold of the project and assists the people of the valley to become the owners oft Imperial canal system. My opinion is that within 60 days after the land is opened up for set- clement, under the Reclamation Act, should the government act favorably, there will not be an acre left"
