A vivid travelogue describes Fairview Park with its fountain and poplars overlooking Chinaman's Peak and Idaho Technical School. It paints Portneus onward to the Snake River, Mount Kinport as guardian over a transformed desert town of opportunity, and a sunset sky rich with colors.
Two bus companies plan regular schedules from the city through Fairview to the park. One bus already ordered. A possible interurban electric line between Pocatello and northern towns is anticipated, with a Blackfoot to Pocatello connection likely in the near future. The Fairview company pledges support when the community funds its own school.
The article notes deep rich soil at Fairview formed by Bonneville flood deposits through Portneuf canyon and Red Rock pass. It highlights soil free of sand and gravel down to twenty to thirty feet, and calls Fairview’s clay subsoil best in Idaho. It mentions two water provisions with perpetual rights and a system supplying water for all purposes.
A new well at the foot of the buttes east of Fairview yields 7+ feet of water depth after weeks of pumping. The 100 foot deep, five foot diameter well provides inexhaustible supply suitable for domestic use. The company guarantees contamination-free water, a 50 000 gallon tank, and laying of pipelines behind every lot before snow. Fairview holds perpetual government canal water rights. Water from both systems already serves the tract.
