Raps Land Policy
OF United States
NJ. |. T. Alumni Luncheon
Speaker Wants Broader
Homestead Laws.

Prof. f. II. Newell. consulting
engineer of the United States Rec
lamation Service, told members of
the local alumni OF the Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology at
lunch yesterday that young men
could not expect to own farms I'M
der present conditions unless they
inherit them.
He stated that present economic
conditions were such that the
young man was usually only a
laborer or tenant, and that this
was true in spite of the fact that
one-half of the area of the United
States was unused and waiting to
be developed. He urged the adop-
ton OF a homestead policy by ma
tional and State governments and
stated that stable government de-
ponds upon it.
Prof. Newell outlined the work
of the Reclamation Service ana
told how lands formerly desolate
had been reclaimed for 10000
families
Prof. Newell was the first prcsi-
dent of the Washington Society of
NJ. l. T, having been elected in
1899. He is former professor of
civil engineering of the University
of Illinois and president of the
American Association of Engineers.
Starr Truscott presided at, the

cepted Immediately.
DR.. Staff was we'll and favorably
known in Wisconsin Rapids, as he

among others in the city. He re-

hopes of recovering his health.
