At the time Of the opening Of the Carey
Act Lands under the project Of the Kings
Hill Extension Irrigation Company, the
townsite Of Medbury and the acreage
surrounding it will be sold under Carey
Act rules. The system devised for offer
ing this land is unique one and isarous-
ing much interest among the local people
who are desirous of securing some of these
acreage tracts.
Instead Of rating the land as to price the
Company has made one price of $l050,
and every tract offered for sale viii be on
this basis. The tract is SO divided that
very few Of the lots are of the same size.
Lots adjoining the townsite are smaller
and lots removed from the townsite are
larger, some tracts containing more than
20 acres.
Several large crews have been at work
the past two weeks preparing the town
site and acreage SO that it can be readily
located by those who wish to look over
the tract in advance Medbury is Iocat-
ed on the main line of the Oregon Short
Line and about mile from Snake River
The Company has allowed in their plat
boulevard 20 IT, wide which will run
from the town to Snake River and for
several miles along the river 'front.' This
drive win be known as River View Boule-
ward and is exceptionally delightful as a
scenic drive The tracts along this Boule-
ward and along the river are smaller than
the tracts further back. The Company
has made arrangements for the plantingof
ornamental trees the entire length Of the
Boulevard. BY the time water is ready
next Spring trees viii be set out and grow
ing
In plating the acreage tracts the lots
and blocks have been so arranged that
the entire area from the town to the river
will be like great city Each block
contains 40 acres and roads are opened
to each 40 acre line The Company plans
to have the streets cleared SO that all of
the lots can be readily located Locally,
the drawing for acreage tracts and town
lots is creating as much or more enthu-
siasm as the drawing for Carey Act Lands.
The Company is isreceiving large num-
Der of inquiries daily and it is predicted
that large crowds will be in attaMdance
at the drawing November 10th.
