the townsite this year is q fine mod noe
ern hotel building which cost actual,
~ $4,000 to erect. This hotel is. now.
i EASILY worth $4,000. The RAILWAY
station is a modern one. and large

every resident of Burley is a booster
and has faith in the growth and pro s
s gress of his home town. i.
.phe situation or Burley insures It's
future as one Of the ccnters of .popu--ii
lation of southern Idaho: it is the ma
tural depot for supplies for Oakley,
Marion Basin, Island. Albion, Elba.i
Malta and Almia: in fact of almost
the entire county5.of Cassia, and rs
lie trading center for the people aoc-
cupyjng $50, 900 acres of the choicest
: land in Idaho situated under the SNortl,
and South Minidoka projects, in
Cassia and Lincoln counties. An
electric railway is protected into e
Albion. which will probably be built
during 1909. THE Oregon Short Line
is considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF
3 building n steam line to Oakley With
n fair chance of its being extended
southwark, and there is strong
probability of sugar plant being
erected iii the Immediate vicinity Of
Burley within the near future. The
,ssoll in the vicinity OF Burley and In
Guiding the entire south side Minido kn
and Goose Greek projects is unequall-
ed even in idaho; this is conceded by
IN who are acquainted with that sec
ton. Only the upper Or southern por-
lion Of this section has been settled
owing to scarcity Of water until the
government commenced the construc-a
ton OF its south side Minidolla irriga-
e ton project which Is now complet-
canals.
