Would Build Mill Here Prospect Draws Lyons Visit
Chas F Lyons formerly of Jasper, after selling his Lakeside mill to Ross Baird, visited town Tuesday to consider building a flouring mill here. He proposes a $500 bonus from the city and a $4000 to $5000 plant, saying sentiment is favorable and he will return soon to pursue the project. Jasper once boasted a strong mill that drew trade from far points, and the town hopes Lyons chooses to invest locally.
