Newell plant, he had mastered prac-
tically every detail of irrigation and
could run the plant, with its bitches
and sluice gates, about as well as his
grandfather could.
After receiving the rudiments Of
his education at Needham, Mass,
young Newell took course in the
Massachusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy, and after graduation went to
Colorado in 1882 to engage in min
ing.
Subsequently he entered the geo.
logical survey, where he proceeded
to make specially of irrigation,
and no man was more proud and
delighted than was he when the last
congress indorsed his ideas by maxi
ing an appropriation of some $5,OOO,-
900 or 100000 for the purpose of
beginning this great work.
A recent statement by Mr.. New

his course as a member of the geo.

of the geological survey" said Mr..
Newell, Il saw that there was very
little chance for any one to forge
ahead unless he originated some
thing altogether new and aside from
the general line of work as it was
then carried on by the survey.
Every department was filled by
some person well advanced in years
who had originated and built up his
own particular line of work, and I
determined, therefore, to turn my
knowledge of irrigation to account
Running my eye over the map of the
west, 1 saw whole states and sec
tions of states, arid unsettled and
unfit for habitation.
UNLESS something was done to
convert these barren and arid tracts
into fruitful and habitable lands,
many of these territories could never
gain populations large enough to
become states, but would continue
for all time to remain territories.
81, therefore, inaugurated and de-
veloped plans for a complete hydro
graphic survey of the west, to ascer-
tain the practicability of irrigation
in those parts. This survey is still
in progress, and has proven a COM
plete success"
The areas in which the various re-
gions to be treated on this vast scale
extend from Canada to Mexico and
from the Missouri river to the Paci-
fic, and the work of survey has only
just begun.
The reclaimed lands are to be sold
to settlers, not more than 100 acres
being allowed to one person, and in
this way the work will soon be made
practically self-supporting, the rev.
