Colonization in Western States Sign of New Era Tracts Set Aside for Former Soldiers—Money Backing for Newcomers in Washington. _ A new era la dawning for the west and will accomplish Its rewinning, ac cording to Dr. William C. Hicks, a member of the national Americaniza tion committee of the American Legion, who will deliver an illus trated lecture In Crounse hall at 3 Sunday afternoon. "Theodore Roosevelt predicted the west would be the theater of Ameri can achievement,’* Dr. Hicks said, "and the day of which he spoke is about to dawn. Evidence Is found in colonization plans of wider vision in Wisconsin, California and Washing ton, particularly the last. "Washington has set aside 100 tracts for former service men. Pri vate interests, realizing the sale of land is but a start, are backing new comers to the state regardless of mili tary service, and are providing them with money and scientific Instructors necessary to success. "Western states are realizing that getting men to settle on their lands must be followed by efforts to make them successful, to make their homes happy. In order to accomplish it they are winning land by great engi neering feats and are betting their money that settlers can make a ’go’ of it. "This wider vision means keener competition to win settlers and greater development of the west.” Dr. Hick’s lecture will be under Auspices of the Great Northern Rail way company.
