Reclamation of Arid America Proposed by Nation
The National Business League backs federal reclamation of the western arid lands through storage reservoirs and main canals. If irrigated, these lands could house up to 50 million people, easing eastern city overpopulation. The piece notes cost discipline and suggests locating a coal mine near Fort Yates to fuel the garrison, urging North Dakota to use lignite and stop paying eastern coal barons. It ends with Sir Thomas Lipton returning home disappointed after failing to win the America’s Cup.
