Columbia Basin Irrigation Project Fought as Too Costly
The piece argues against a large new Columbia Basin irrigation scheme, noting past successes in Idaho and elsewhere while contending Congress should not rush a 250 million dollar appropriation. It casts doubt on land prices at 145 dollars an acre once added costs are included, warning homesteaders face prohibitive total costs. Colonel Goethals is cited to lend credibility, though his forecast is treated as less decisive than Western irrigation experts.

A Kansas veteran who served 1917 to 1919 argues able bodied men should focus on aiding disabled peers and ensuring stable postwar employment rather than a cash bonus.

Small Gold Quartz Mill Proves Profitable Investment
A long standing lite mill near Brown Point, Lyon and Fay Templeton has produced bullion for 25 years with an estimated output of $50,000. The plant capacity ranges three to five tons daily depending on quartz hardness, needing one man on a 12 hour shift. Cost for two shifts runs about $10 daily plus fuel, with free milling quartz possibly netting $16 to $25 per day after mining costs. A compact plant costing around $1,200 to $1,000 with Wilfley recovery could be installed if water power were available, though the dream of perpetual motion remains outside current economics.
