Can Not Help In Green Bay.

When question having the Green
Bay deadlock in mind was asked, Mr..
Newell said that the work of the
reclamation service is confined to
dry lands which need irrigating, and
under the law the government de-
partments can not build works to
keep water off of land-it must build
to put water on land that needs it.
His bureau has made about $4,000
farms out of the deserts to date and
this has cost from $50 to $40 per
acre. Any citizen can obtain one of
these farms by living on 1t and cul-
tivating 1t for five years and paying
the cost of watering it in ten annual
installments The work is keeping a
little ahead of the demand for the
reclaimed land.
In tone that savored little of
envy Mr. Newell referred to the fine
rock foundation for the Keokuk dam
and said that his chief trouble is that
most of his structures are on bad
foundations, often compelling the en-
gineers to go down sixty feet to get
to bed rock which will hold back the
water pressure. He was taken over

Reclamation Service Intends to Send
Engineers Have to Learn Methods
of Organization and
Pushing Work.
CANNOT AID GREEN BAY
Eminent Engineer, Head OF the United
States Reclamation Service, is
Impressed With Big
Work Here.

Il wanted to see big work that
somebody else is responsible for;
this is magnificent structure from
an engineering and an economic view
point and means an increase OF val
ues throughout this part of the corn-
try" said F. H. Newell, director of
the United States reclamation SER
vice on the Keokuk dam yesterday
afternoon. He said little later:
ITO man from the outside, who
goes all over the United States, this
thing is SO big as to be incompre-
hensible; one can't imagine all it will
do. Probably you Keokuk people are
too near to get the proper perspec-
tive. Why, if some little town oct
west had this thing, the Inhabitants
would hardly speak to common
human being, and they'd make noise
about it that could be heard across
the ocean.
This work here of Mr. Cooper is
organized and pushed in very effec-
tive way that is very instructive-it
is model of execution, and l want
to send some of our own engineers
here to study the organization and
smooth progress of this work"

A Very Eminent Engineer.


That is praise from Sir Rupert, for
Mr.. Newell is the engineer whom the
government chose to build big cams
in most of the western states on
which a million dollars month has
been spent for years He is the
head of the entire reclamation SER
vice. under Secretary Walter l..
Fisher, of the interior department,
and formerly was its chief engineer
before his promotion to the top po
sition.
He stopped over in Keokuk yester-
day afternoon to see the water pow
er construction here, on his way to
meet Secretary Fisher in Idaho, the
cabinet officer being on his way home
from Alaska, the storm center of his
trouble just now.
Director Newelrs bureau has built
dams and canals in most of the west
ern states, to reclaim arid and semi
arid lands by irrigation. A big dam,
generally very high and as short as
possible in canyon is built to form
an immense reservoir fed by a river
or two. The water from the reservoir
is conducted to the farms and fields
to turn desert into a fertile area.
The law confines the energies of his
service to seventeen states and ter
ritories.
