Big Sawmill Near Our Back Door Settlement Heads Up
A large new sawmill project is planned on Swift land just north of Kenton. JL W David and CO Colt signed a 20 year lease for 50 acres at 1800 dollars monthly. The plant aims to cut 150000 feet daily, employ 400 to 500 workers, and will link with box and lathe facilities.

Licenses May Be Granted In City Of St Johns
City Attorney MB Collier opines on whether St Johns may grant licenses to sell intoxicating liquors under local option law. He cites 1904 1905 charters, amendments, and decisions showing city charter provisions may not contravene local option by exempting cities like St Johns from liquor sale restrictions, and suggests council may grant licenses only if existing ordinances allow it.
