SUCCESSFUL SALE AT
THE new TOWN OF KUNA

The only mistake the founder made
was that it is too near Nampa How
ever, the location is on a slight eleva-
ton, on the banks of Indian creek,
some distance below and above
is used as part of the
big canal carrying water to the lands
under the Payette-Boise reclamation
project. The elevation of the town
site is just sufficient to give a pano-
ramic view of the country for miles
around.
Mr.. Hubbard, with his accustomed
energy, after deciding on the location
plated the townsite into lots and
blocks, each block contains "a lots,
25x140 feet each. In order to give all
who desired chance to obtain lots on
the same terms, he hit upon
the following scheme: The 200
or more lots were numbered,
the numbers were placed in
envelopes, then the names of pur-
chasers of lots were likewise placed
in sealed envelopes and the names of
the 144 purchasers were placed in an
another jar. Two men were
selected, in this case they were
H. A. Partridge, of Nampa, and r. S.
Madden, of Caldwell, whose duty it
was to open the envelopes as they
were drawn from the jars by a 10
year-old girl. Mr.. Madden announced
the number of the lot and block while
Mr.. Partridge announced the name of
the lucky or unlucky holder. 1t must
be remembered that the lots were all
sold for the same contract price of
800. There was no advantage in
the price and one took a chance of
getting corner on Main Street
AS for example, Mrs. E. c. Lavering
of Twin Falls, drew a lot which she
sold before she left the town for $205

ed each lot at auction and in nearly
every case they were bid in by the
owner. The day was most disagree
able, the wind carried clouds of dus
yet there was over 800 people pres
ent, coming from Boise, Nampa, ant
Caldwell. Mr.. Hubbard was vel
pleased with the sale, and many of his
friends congratulated him upon the
selection of what will in a few years
prove a flourishing town.
Before closing this article The Tri
bune desires to state that the enthu.
siasm manifested was largely due t.
the oratOrical efforts of Will H. Glib
son, of Boise, R. W. Purdum, of Nam
pa, and w. H. Dorman, of Caldwell
three of the best known boosters il
this section of the state.

Tuesday WAS the day decided upon
by D. R. Hubbard for the sale of town
lots in Kuna. While the location of
the town dates back to the time when
the Short Line grade was constructed
through this country, it like other
towns has had it's ups and downs.
The location of the town was
selected at that time for the
reason that at that point was the
crossing of the Boise and Silver City
freight road. Another feature which
had some weight in the selection was
the fact that water could be obtained
there, from Indian creek. In the
early SOS, Kuna did f1ourishing bus
mess as it was the receiving and ship
ping point of freight, for both Boise
and Silver City. Neither Caldwell or
Nampa were on the map when Kuna
was at her best. But Jim MCGEE and
his associates were largely RESPONSE
BILE for Kuna's downfall, for as soon
as the Idaho Central was built from
Nampa to Boise, the business at Kuna
was closed down and it's glories de-
parted, some thought for ever. But
those who made the name of Kuna a
joke never reckoned on what the flu
ture had in store for the pioneer town
of the Boise valley. d. r. Hubbard,
who like Caesar, came, saw and con-
quered." He came from Iowa and
seeing the possibilities for dotting the
vast plane of which Kuna was the
central point, with homes if water
could be put on-the soil would do
the rest. Having decided on the FEAST
bility of the project he 10 connection
with other kindred spirits set to work
to induce Uncle Sam to spend few
million dollars for the purpose of dig
ing canals and building reservoirs
in order that the sagebrush might
disappear and orchards, grain and al
falfa fields take its place. There is
associated with the success of the
Payette-Boise irrigation project than
has D. R. Hubbard. He had faith in
the ultimate success of the project
He became the possessor of several
hundred acres of what was believed to
be worthless land, but now people are
eager to secure it at from SIS to 800
per acre. Mr., Hubbards' holdings are
but a drop in comparison to the vast
area surrounding Kuna. This statement
can be more fully realized when it is
known that there is $4,000 acres to be
covered by water, within five miles of
Kuna. Mr.. Hubbard selected for the
townsite of the rejuvinated pioneer
town with the Indian name, point
II miles from Boise, 45 miles from
Silver City, and 10 miles from Nampa.
