First Flour Mill at Early Built in 1879 by John Reinhart
A historical scene shows Early as it was around 1880. The first and only flour mill was built in 1879 by John Reinhart at 10,000 dollars, powered by a Boyer River dam. It drew distant patrons before a two year life ended by fire. Reinhart, a Prussian pioneer with 3,000 acres, was a noted cattle raiser who predicted wheat prices would rise to a dollar per bushel if transport costs drop. He argued western farmers should withhold grain to force railroads to reduce shipping rates, urging Grange action.

Freezing Pure Water at Minus Degrees Demonstrated
Experiments show pure water freezes spontaneously at 1.9 degrees Celsius, below the usual zero, due to absence of ice particles or germ crystals. The finding highlights how purity affects freezing behavior and may influence understanding of phase transitions and crystallization processes.
