Government Land in Southern California
PERSONS who contemplate coming to California for the purpose of securing public land should first ponder well the following truthful item from the San Francisco Chronicle:— "A colonization society has been started in Chicago to locate on Government land in Southern California. It would be interesting to know where the society proposes to get a body of Government land sufficient for its needs. There are few counties in Southern California which can show any considerable amount of Government land, and most of this land is in the mountains, remote from settlements. At least this has been the report of those who have prospected for such land. The trail of the land-grabber is over all these counties, and if this society wishes to get good land, it will have to buy from him and not from Uncle Sam."
