A lyrical description of Fairview Park with a fountain and poplars, Chinaman's Peak, Idaho Technical School, Portneus and the Snake River, Mount Kinport as sentinel, and the sunset turning colors as twilight settles over a transforming landscape from a city of opportunity to commerce and home.
Two motor bus firms plan regular schedules through Fairview to the park with one bus already ordered. Pocatello street car lines are expected to expand toward Fairview amid competition. A state highway runs along the addition and a distant interurban line between Pocatello Blackfoot may follow. School service currently passes Fairview daily and local aid will come as the community grows.
The article notes Fairview in Pocatello offers a pebble free, deep soil from ancient flood deposits found along Pocatello Creek. It claims twenty to thirty feet of sand and gravel free soil with strong clay subsoil and a guaranteed perpetual water right from a U S ditch for lots, plus a private water system for all needs.
A new well near Fairview deepened to 100 feet with a five foot diameter provides inexhaustible water. The system guarantees pure water never exceeding city levels and plans a pipeline to serve all lots before snow. Fairview holds a perpetual government canal water right and a 5000 gallon tank will be installed.
