Arid land reform proposals urged by J D Stone from Zillah
J D Stone of Zillah submits suggestions to a congressional committee on arid lands calling for 40 acre entry limits, higher entry costs with long term credit, bond funding, state land irrigation at cost, and reserved rights of way and townsites to speed reclamation. The letter accompanies broader discussion of the Newlands arid land bill and its provisions for irrigation projects and fund management.
