Frank H. Bull of Sharon, Pa. 1t was
conceived in the mind of Mr.. l. B. Per-
rine, who had years before located at
Blue Lakes. Mr.. Perrine and Judge
S. H. Hays interested S. B. Miner OF
Salt Lake and the three of them in
terested Mr.. Bull. Mr.. Bull had never
had any experience in irrigation en-
terprises. He entrusted the manage
ment to Messrs. Perrine and Hayes,
greatly to his own profit and well
being.
1t would seem the part of good bust
ness policy to lend announcement to
those seeking the development of the
state. Arid Idaho fertile though it is.
and possessed of the finest climate, is
practically worthless without the
means of getting water to the land.
Irrigation systems, canals, and reser-
voirs are an absolute necessity.
The greatest factors in irrigation
development in the world today are the
Kuhn Bros, of Pittsburg. These gen
tlemen are strong financially. They
are perfectly capable of financing any
irrigation project they may undertake.
A visit to Twin Falls will convince any
one of their capacity, thoroughness
and experience. They understand the
needs and requirements of a new and
growing country and through their
agents, advisers and confidents make
ample provision for all contingencies.
Their work, interest and sympathy are
not through until the country is irri-
gated, settled and developed. The sue
cess of the settlers is as vital to them
as it is to the settlers themselves.
Last week a party of Caldwell and
Nyssa business men, farmers and irri-
cation promoters visited Twin Falls
and the Salmon River irrigation pro-
jects at the invitation of H. L. Hollis
ter, the western agent of the Kuhns
The party was headed by Judge s, H.
Hayes of Boise and Col. f. R. Place
of this city. 1t is rumored the object
of the visit was to show those inter
ested in the development of this section
the methods of the Kuhns that those
financiers could handle any proposition
and handle it to the best advantage
Those who visited Twin Falls will
know something OF their real accom-
plishments 1t is to be hoped they will
invade this field. This section needs
development and everyone should lend
his encouragement to those seeking to
interest the Pittsburg financiers.
The South Side Project.
4 visit TO the Twin Falls South Side
tract will duly impress the most in
different This project was the first
undertaken; the first completed and
the first settled. The development
there is well along. Indeed i pre-
sents the appearance of a community
20 years of age and every year one Of
prosperity. The fields are cultivated;
orchards are bearing and beautiful
homes are on every hand. The town
of Twin Falls, in the center of the pro
ject, is a modern city of 1900 people
1t has every modern convenience; fine
business houses; and miles of paved
streets and cement sidewalks.
The tract of land is located on the
south side of Snake river 1t consists
of 100000 acres of land fertile and
productive 1t slopes gradually to the
north and west, enabling easy irriga-
tion and good drainage The water is
taken from Snake river at Miner. This
project was financed by Mr.. Bull at
$500 per acre.
The North Side Project.
Directly across Snake river lies the
North Side Twin Falls project, consist
ing of 100000 acres. This was the
