HOW TO SECURE HOMES IN IDAHO. 



Irrigated Farm and Fruit Land in the Famous Snake River Valley. 



This advertisement is addressed to the thousands who want homes in a country where the climate is ideal, where 

 opportunities abound and where farming and fruit growing and stock raising are taken out of the speculative column and 

 placed in the class of sure, safe and profitable business enterprises. 



If you contemplate locating in Idaho or the West you should understand something about what is necessary to secure 

 irrigated tracts under the Carey Law. The following will assist you: 



1st. Make your selection of land either in person or by your representative. 



2d. Procure your water right from us. You must have one share, or acre, of water right for each acre of land. 



3d. At the time you secure your water right you will make, through us, your application to the State of Idaho for 

 the land. 



The price of the land is 50 cents per acre. 



The price of perpetual water rights ranges from $15 to $25 per share according to quality and location of land. 



One share of water will irrigate one acre of land. The amount furnished each year is sufficient, if placed upon the 

 land at one time, to cover it 30 inches deep. The water is measured at the point where it is delivered to the purchaser, 

 thereby saving him all loss from seepage or evaporation. The average rainfall in Idaho is 13 inches each year.

Great Opportunities for Capital 



Out in the great western irrigation section of the 

 United States, where hundreds of thousands of acres of 

 land are being' reclaimed and cultivated, there has always 

 been more or less difficulty and disappointment experienced 

 in securing the necessary financial assistance to carry 

 through these projects, due partially to the lack of knowl- 

 edge of irrigation in general, and the fact that it was a 

 hard matter to secure attention to them. 



In order to avoid these difficulties and to put Irriga- 

 tion and power projects in proper shape by expert exam- 

 inations and correct data, the firm of Clinton, Hurtt & 

 Co., Ltd., was organized by leading business men of 

 Boise, Idaho. The success of the firm has been remark- 

 able. They have brought a number of irrigating enter- 

 prises in touch with capital and have themselves built 

 and financed several more; among them the Marysville 

 Canal in Fremont County, Idaho, which this firm took over 

 in May, 19O6, and completed, so that it is now serving 

 about 12,OOO acres with water. 



The advantages of having a firm of this kind located 

 practically in the center of the irrigated portion of the 

 West are many. 



It is the means of bringing eastern capital and west- 

 ern enterprise together. It has facilities for advertising 

 the resources of the West and is in a position to supply 

 financial circles of the East with any desired size, kind 

 or condition of western enterprising, whether irrigating, 

 electrical railway or power.
