Supporters argue Stewart's experience and dedication would mobilize settlement, while opponents worry about political bias. Letters cite 8000 acres of fertile soil, a potential ditch, and benefits to Indians and railroad interests.

Wadsworth's Welfare Scheme for a New Irrigation Town
Jr. B. A. Jackman argues for a large irrigation project to open 100000 acres of fertile land near Wadsworth Nevada. He claims a big ditch could create a town of about four thousand, boost property values, provide 300–400 jobs, improve cattle and produce, and connect settlers with the town, benefiting merchants and residents.
