Model Cities in the West.


= Il believe that the model city of the
world will be. built in, the desert coun-
try of the West. Civilization and mud
do not mix. 1t. takes sunshine and
plenty of it to make people cheerful
and successful. 1t is not so very well
known that the United States govern
ment is building new towns on a CO.
operative basis that represents as near
an approach to Utopia as can be
reached
C. ]. Blanchard, statistician of the
United States reclamation service,
made these statements in announcing
the opening of a new town in Mon
tana, to be known as Pompey's Pillar,
and an auction of 200 acres, subdivid
ed into town lots, at Rupert, Idaho,
thriving young model town." whose
greatest needs just now are hotel,
an ice factory, a cannery and sugar
factory.
81 have been accused of being WIS.,
iopary," said Mr.. Blanchard. But
there are today graded schools and
telephones and even trolley cars
where, when l first expressed my faith
in the future of the reclamation work,
there were only sage brush plains.
But in the near future there Is to
be realized in the communities like
that at Rupert something that is new
in rural life. That is, public owner
ship of power producing. plants that
will furnish electricity at the absolute
cost of production.
Here is beginning of a co-opera-
tive plan of government that will ap-
proach ideal conditions. Cooperation
also exists in every other phase of,
life in the government irrigation pro-.
jects. Where the welfare of all de-
pends upon the same conditions you
are bound to. have mutual interest.
Here is growing city in the heart
Of a thriving agricultural community
with sunshine the year round. One
of these model towns which we are
developing under these promising con-
ditions-I don't know which one it is
going to be-is to become the model
city Of the world.
1t will be city without congestion.
without palaces or poorhouses and
with cooperation very highly devel-
oped. One of the conspicuous fea-
lures of these Western communities,
even the rougher ones, is the absence
of the petty crime. People don't have
to nail down the windows of their
houses or lock their doors, even.
There is just one trouble with the
schools; the average service of the
woman teachers is four months. Men
are in the majority, you see, and the
manageable young woman who can
be kept at the instruction of the young
for more than six months is deemed a
rare prize, indeed, by the school au-
thorities. Boston Herald.
