new CEMENT WORKS
Work Begun on Portland Cement
Factory that Will Employ $50
Men and Turn Out 2000
Barrels Daily.

Work began Monday on the biggest
enterprise that has yet come to lola,
an enterprise that will employ two
or three hundred men all summer
in the construct IN OF buildings, and
that will give permanent employ
ment after that To from 100 TO $50
men, nearly all of whom will be skill
ed, high priced laborers.
This enterprise will probably be
known as the lola Portland Cement
Works, ard will be branch of the
Michigan Portland Cement Company,
a very wealthy company with head
quarters at Detroit and extensive
works at Cold Water, Mich. The
plant, for which all the plans have
been made, will have a capacity of
two thousand barrels of cement daily
1t will b, the only Portland Cement
plant west of the sissippi river
aud the product will therefore supply
an immense territory, carrying every
where the name of lola. Nearly all
the labor employed is skilled labor,
commanding good wages and engag-
ing an excellent class of people. And
in addition to the workmen directly
employed in the plant, the fact that
nearly a trainload of product will be
turned out daily will require the
Santa Fe railroad, on whose line the
WORKS will be located, to put i'm a
switch engine and at least one ad-
ditional crew. The plant will be so
close to lola, being just across Elm
creek, south of town, that the en-
ployees will all live right here, aud
houses will have to he built for them
The Company which is putting in
this plant has unlimited capital, it
has been engaged in the manufacture
of Portland cement for many years,
IL has been testing the stone on the
land here which it finally purchased
for several months, it comes without
asking any bonus,-and it means
business. 1t is n mighty good thing
to start out the New Year with for
lola. Even ii nothing else came here
the whole year this enterprise alone,
with the extensions that are contem-
plated in the other industries already
here, would keep the town moving
right along. But other things are
coming. This is only the beginning
The first step in this new enter
prise, of course, Is the drilling of a
gas well, and that is the work that
began Monday. The contract is in
the hands of Fred. Horton, and he
has already begun work on his der
rick. There has been no well drilled
in that immediate vicinity, but Mr.
Horton is very confident that gas will
be found at the usual depth. But
even # gas is not found there the en-
terprise will go on all the same, for
there is other territory available in
which there is absolute certainty Of
finding gas.
And SO 1890 starts out well for lola.
Work on the new plant will begin
as soon as the weather settles in the
spring, and from that time on the
way things will hum here will be
good imitation Of bee hive in swarm.

Ifyou want to keep up with lola
the time to start is now
