second enterprise undertaken in that
section. 1t was the first financed and
constructed by the Kuhn Bros. This
land slopes to the west and south and
is like the South Side project watered
from the Snake river. The Snake
river in that section has a series OF
falls or rapids, at Shoshone Falls
falling 210 feet. The river after leaV-
ing Shoshone Falls flows in a deep
canyon for several miles. The topogra-
ply of the country is such that the
waters of Snake river can be taken out
for irrigation purposes at a moderate
expense. The water for the North
Side is also diverted at Miner
The North Side project is well settled
and coming under cultivation very
rapidly. Several very thriving towns
are located on this tract. the best
known and largest being Jerome and

Other Projects.

To the north and northwest are
three other projects, viz; The Idaho
irrigation tract of 10000 acres; the
Dietrich tract Of $4,000 acres and the
King Hill tract Of $4,000 acres. These
projects are around Gooding, Richfield,
Shoshone and Dietrich.
Summary of Kuhn Works.
It is said that the Kuhn Bros. have
spent $8,OO0,O0O on irrigation projects
in Idaho, and 100000 on water power
plants. They have built well where
ever they have built at all. In con
nection with their irrigation work they
maintain an advertising and publicity
bureau. 1t is quite necessary tof
them to settle as we'll as irrigate their
projects. Their work in Idaho has been
done under the Carey Act. However,
they are not averse to operating under
any of the other laws. In any event
they must really develop the country.
Advertising is an absolute necessity,
In charge of this department is Mr.,
H. L. HOLSTER with headquarters at
Chicago. Mr. HOLSTER is a most
capable man and is thoroughly familiar
with western conditions He knows
that people as well as water are wanted
and required,
In Idaho Judge S. H, Hayes of Boise
and Mr.. |. b. Perrine Of Twin Falls
are the leading advisers of the Kuhn
Bros. These continent are broad
minded men. They appreciate the work
done at Twin Falls and want to see the
work continued until all our arid land
is under water. Having practically ex-
hausted the Twin Falls field it was
their purpose to find another oppor-
tunitv. This section of the state nat
urally appealed to them and particu-
larly to Mr. Hayes, who has lived in
this part of Idaho for great many
years He knows that the land and
water, soil and climate were here.
For the purpose of interesting the PEG
pie here the Caldwell and Nyssa men
went to Twin Falls. Knowing that Col.
Place was acquainted both with men
and conditions, the selection of the
party was left to his discretion.
The Tribune is convinced that those
who visited the Twin Falls tracts were
deeply impressed with the work ac-
compIished. They also returned home
convinced that all the projects con
templated in this section were more
practical and easier than they had ever
thought They were further convinced
that 1t was the duty of each of them
to lend every encouragement to those
seeking to interest the Kuhn Bros. II
the reclamation enterprises Of western
Idaho and eastern Oregon.
