GYPSUM TRUST NOT FEARED.
Blue Rapids Will Welcome ANY Ad-
dition to This Industry.

Blue Rapids, Nov. PA report has
been given out to the effect that a
gypsum trust has been formed in which
the Blue Rapids plaster companies have
become a part. This is not wholly
true.
First, the big gypsum trust is not yet
perfected and possibly it may not be.
True the several mills quoted may have
entered into an agreement, but certain
conditions remain unfulfilled, and they
may never be complied with.
Blue Rapids was the first place to
manufacture plaster from native gyp-
sum. We had a mill in successful OPP
Grafton in the '70's-in fact J. " Coon,
now dead, commenced operations in a
small way as far back as 1871.
This fact is a part of Marshall coun-
ty history Plaster from the gypsum
beds of Blue Rapids was made and
used on Gen Frank Marshalrs house in
Marysville in 1858, which house is still
standing and is one of the old land
marks of Marysville. This is believed
to be the first plaster made from native
product.
The gypsum was first discovered by
where the Blue Valley, or Winter
Plaster mill now stands. and was used
by him to plaster the chinks in his
cabin in the spring of 1857
Here where it was first discovered
and utilized We have the largest de-
posits and the whitest and finest quail
ity of ''gyp-"
The deposits are practically inexhaus-
table, with rock roofs, easily and
cheaply mined-while the finished prod
uct is the purest and finest manufac-
tured.
This fact, united with our splendid
water power will give an immense i'm
petus to the plaster industry here. If
the trust is formed our local mills VIII
greatly enlarge, or new mills will be
built and our water power will be utilized
TO produce electricity for the motive
power. More men will be needed and
better wages paid. our shipments will
be largely increased, and Blue Rapids
will be the distributing point for the
southwest. The local management Will
be the same as now and while the con-
ditions may be changed it will be a
change Blue Rapids will welcome
