MEDBURY OPENING
Carey Act Opening at Medbury.
Drawing to Take Place
November l6.

At Medbury on the 10th will
occur an opening offering some
of the choicest and most desir-
able small lots yet offered to the
people seeking homes in this
great and as yet undeveloped
section of Idaho. Many of
our former friends and neigh
bors living at the Medbury seq
regation are loud and persistent
in their praise of the locality
where they have cast their lot
and become happy and content
ed and in a fair way to ease and
comparative prosperity; it is be-
cause they wanttheiroldacqu
tancesto share in their good for
tune thatthey are so persistently
and frequently urging that they
come to see what they have to
show. No one doubts that
Medbury can deliver that which
it offers and many hundreds
will be made glad with their
drawing on the 10Th.

TOWNSHIP SOLD
Boise Syndicate Purchases Town
site. Water Works and
Electric Lights.

A syndicate of Boise parties,
headed by Charles T. Barring
er, Edmund NJ. Blake. Willis E.
Sullivan and Charles F. Adams,
has purchased from William E.
Stockton and G.. E. Corker all Of
the unsold portion of the origi-
nal townsite of Glenns Ferry,
together with over 40 acres OF
the choicest decided land adjoin-
ing the same in the locality OF
Little Canyon creek. The prop
erty is to be placed on the mar
ket Immediately. The town of
Glenns Ferry has just been in
corporated and in addition to
this private enterprise many
public improvements will be
started in the near future. The
development of the King Hill
and Medbury tracts is also
partly responsible for the re-
newed life and activity at
Glenns Ferry. The bridge
across the Snake river which is
to carry the syphon from King
Hill to the Medbury tract is to
be constructed at once, directly
east of town, which will make
Glenns Ferry the central dis
tributing point for the famous
fruit lands of the King Hill
tract. A direct railroad cutoff
from Buhl to Glenns Ferry is
assured in the near future,
which will make the town one
of the important outlets from
the big Bruneau tract. The
main ditch and long syphon
across Little Canyon creek of
the King Hill extension passes
north of the town almost on the
borders of the Incorporated linn
its. There are three ferries
across the Snake river within
easy access of the town.
The Glenns Ferry townsite is
one of the most beautiful in
the state, fanked on the north
by the foot hills of the Canyon
mountains and bordered on the
south by the Snake river. The
railroad has nearly completed
a new $25, 900 club house for
it's employees near the depot and
a large area is to be parked and
planted to shrubbery and trees.
A new reinforced concrete coal
pocket at the ground level is
nearing completion and the
present unsightly coal incline
is to be torn down and abandan-
ed.
The syndicate which has been
organized to take over the deal
will be incorporated at once un-
der the title-Northwestern
Lands Company. The person
mel of the company will be as
