WE are delighted that we are in a position to offer you the unsold por
. tion of Carey Act Lands remaining in the First and , Second Ows
ley Projects located in Jefferson county, Idaho.
If you have not used your Carey Act rights and if you are a citizen of
the United States or have declared your intention of becoming a citizen
of the United States' (first papers) you may avail yourself of an opportu
nity now of acquiring 40 acres, 80 acres, 120 acres or as much as 160
acres (but no more) of this choice Carey Act Land if you will act without
delay.
If you will but stop and consider the many tremendous advantages
which this land possesses you will understand and appreciate how for
tunate you are that we have brought these wonderful Carey Act Tracts
of land to your attention. '
THese exquisitely level, fertile Carey Act Projects have been thor
oughly inspected by us and for us and when we found the tremendous
natural merits which these lands contained we immediately obtained
them exclusively for our Nebraska and western Iowa investors.
0
"X7E had to act fast in obtainingthese lands exclusively for our -Ne
braska and western ,Iowa investors, as the people in the immediate
vicinity of these great Owsley Projects have purchased over $1,000,
000.00 worth of this land and water since October .9th of last year, when
the Secoricl Owsley Project, was opened by the State of Idaho.
When we found and satisfied ourselves of the phenomenal food-producing qual
ties of this wonderful soil we negotiated at once for the withdrawal of these ideally fer
tile lands from every market, but that over which we had control and as our inspection
progressed as we got down to the bottom of the basic merits of this highly fertile tract
of land we were convinced that without doubt this great body of land is one that would
be impossible to duplicate any place in the country.
Our investigation was thorough. Former investigations were confirmed in the
minds of our engineers and investigators. THE CAREY ACT INSPECTOR OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR AT Washington, D. C, has made a report on this great
project which has received the approbation of our representatives. t
We believe in offering these great tracts of Carey Act Lands to you that we are af
fording you a greater opporunity than you . ever held at Scottsbluff, North. Platte,
Greeley, Colorado; Ft Morgan, Colorado, or any other Irrigation Project in the Central
Western States.

----- The aouree pf supply is Crystal Lake, which cover 40,000 acret of land and which ia 45 milea
In circumference. '
Thi Kreut body of fresh water h at the disposal of tha settlers and fannera of th Owsley
Projects and is at the very dooi of these fertile lands.
A main inlet from this lake has been dredged to a pump house whera tha water la allowed
to rush in.
- At it termination is drawn by electrically driven 250-horse-power motors capable of pumpint
10,000 gallons rf water pel rair.ute each into the main canal on th Projects.
This water is lifted approximately 18 feet by these great pumps which are electrically operated
and the wcr, therefore, is allowed to flow by gravity to th respeativ farm on th project and
this great Crystal Lake is the lowest point on the property. :
This insures a positive flow of water at all times. The control of this water la absolute. Da
livery is obtained by simply turning on an electric switch in the power house.
Tha water is there to b pumped a It flowa by gravity from tha giant body ( fresh water to
th point where th pumping is don.
Another tremendou advantat which ia rar ia that h entire project is naturally drained by
gravity. '
: When the water has performed its function, when it has been spread over the land and the soil
has absorbed the required amount, tha surplus gravitates back to the Uke, thu avoiding drainage
in the future.
With this exceptions, advantage it is the opinion of eminent engineers that th entir project
considering tha lay of tha land and th geographical location, ia an ideally perfect irrigation project.
In addition to all of these tremendous advantages the coat of water will always rtaala very low
as this electric power ia obtained from a water power plant at ridiculously low price. ,
Thia water cost for crops ia charged at actual cost to settlers. Under the provision or the
Carey Act the eertler owna an interest in tha water righta. th pumping plant and th ditchea and I under
tha law the actual cost of th transmission of thia water to th respective farmer must be charged
W'th LaTyfar this water eost was but $1 per acre and only a email amount of thia land was irrigated,
but aa mora land ia put under cultivation thia water coat should decrease. ......
Imagine water aufficient to irrigate your enire farm at $1 per acre and then think of the money
tlmea m the States of Nebraska and Iowa whan you would have gladly given $20 per acre if .it had
bean possible for you to put water on your crop which were) faat deteriorating duo to drouth and
Hot Winda. --
And thia water ritht ia a perfect water right. It la practically tha first water right which has
bean granted out of thia great lake. ...... . j . . ,
It la physically and legally foremost. Tha wants of th owners pf th First and Second Owsley
Project must be supplied first before other subsequent users of water caa obtain water for their
crops
Idaho Falls which is but 33 miles from the First and Second Owsley Pro
jects has won recognition throughout the world.
The moment that the engineers and men who know were allowed to divert
water from the streams of this great State onto the lands which were hereto
fore practically barren they found that the very moment that the water wai
supplied to this land that it Was the only lacking feature to make this country
one of the most fertile and greatest crop yielding sections in the United States.
Idaho Falls on account of the era of irrigation holds many world' records of which it can
b proud.
Idaho Falls ha attained a world's distinction, that of being the greatest originating point
for freight shipments of agrieultural products in the United States.
Idaho Falls is known as the greatest outbound shipping point for freight on the Oregon
Short Line Railroad, notwithstanding the fact that Salt Lake City, Utah; Ogden, Utah; Butte,
Montana, and Boise City, Idaho, cities much larger than Idaho 'Palls, are on that railroad and
amontr the largest commercial centers of the Northwest
There are trade centers such as Chicago, Portland and other places for export which ship
a greater tonnage of agricultural products than Idaho Falls.
The point which is being sought to impress is that the Idaho Falls district produces the
greatest tonnage of agricultural products of any place in the United States.
Idaho Falls and the county in which it is situated is a country without one cent outstand
ing ia the way of debt and jl country that is growing rapidly in population and business im
portance, a. county filled with progressive citizens who have built big homes and bigger barns,
a citizenship which is building modern homes at all times with every convenience which is con
tained in the mansion of the city, with the conveniences which make a contented and prosper
ous people, and Idaho has in addition to its mineral, coal, lumber and agricultural products
some of the world's largest sugar factories.
The average wheat crop in the Idaho Falls district is from 40 to 60 bushels to the acre.
The average of oats is 75 to 100 bushels per acre, 50 to 80 bushels of barley, 400 to 500 bushels
of potatoes and from 4 to 7 tons of alfalfa and from 10 to 20 tons of sugar beets. We have
positive assurance of much larger yields in exceptional cases.
The value of land in thia district in a high state of cultivation runs from 250 to $500
per acre, the average price being $300 per acre.
This ideal location with its Wonderful climate, its long growing
days, assures a production quite beyond your fondest expectations-
This soil which is composed of volcanic ash and silt formation
with a slight mixture of sand upon its surface is free from alkali and is'
approximately 90 feet deep and with the addition of clear, fresh water it
has produced for the settlers on this land crops in abundance.
It is safe to say that the average wheat crop will equal that of the Idaho Falls
district.
-It is safe to say that the quality of alfalfa will compare favorably with that of tha
great City of Idaho Falls which is but a short distance away and that its production in
tonnage will equal that of this record breaking city of the State.
Its potatoes, its barley, its beets and its oats will in our opinion yield Just aal
rbundantly and of just as fine quality as the City Idaho Falls and the quality of thete
products is lasting because of its climate, none of the days being uncomfortably warm
and the cool nights which require covers while sleeping which are invigorating to tha
farmer are reflected in the firmness and lasting qualities of all thesa crop yields.
Practically every settler who is now on the Owsly Projects has an improved farm
in a high state of cultivation which has been earned for him by thesa unheard-of crap
yields. x
- He had little ar nothing to start with ia the way of money, but be did have sail,
sunlight, water when he needed and wanted it which mora thaa makes up for that which
is lacking. ' ,
We have made an arrangement for your convenience whereby you may i1v your
land cropped for you under the direct personal supervision of Dean O. V. P. Stent,
Dean of the Engineering College of the State of Nebraska.
You can make an arrangement which will give to you a scientific renter wha la
thoroughly familiar with irrigation, whose experience dates back ta 1892.
And, you can' be assured that every scientific method known to modern Inigatioa
will be employed in obtaining for you results wfcich will vbe highly pleasing.

IDEAL LOCATION
The remaining portion of the great Owsley Projects
comprise approximately twenty-one thousand acres of what
is known as beautiful, gently sloping table land.
This great body of land is adjacent to the beautiful
Crystal Lake and is approximately fourteen miles from the
City of Hamer, Idaho, which is on the main line of the
Oregon Short Line Railroad. It is but thirty-three miles
from the great city of Idaho Falls, which city now holds
unqualifiedly and undisputedly some of the greatest food
producing records of the world, and it is only about eighty
five miles from Yellowstone National Park.
The health advantages of this treat region are many.
Hay ever does not exist.' ,
Bronchial troubles are cured and asthnla is almost un-
known. This climate together with the excellent fishing
that can be had ia many af tha streams and the hunting
which can be found in the primitive mountains are what
have made the citizens of the cammunity Hale, Hearty, Ro
bust people, when ia many cases they were ordered out of
the various Central States by their physicians.
CAREY ACT EXPLAINED

States, giving capital the right to reclaim government lands by irrigation.

grazing privileges, the value of which is so helpful and is recognized so prominent
ly by the homesteader all over ihe country. .

Land a success when these lands were taken up by men who were not a success ia any
