BOOSTS LYLE
Agent Says Something More Than Wind

     C.H. Lehman, booster for the Lyle townsite company, was in White Salmon Saturday. He is all Lyle and several yards wide. He is there with the volubility. He has the steam that crowds the safety valve. He said they had just perfected their Commercial Club, and 42 members from the Portland Commercial Club had attended their meeting. An exhibit building will be erected and kept well supplied. They are going after the prize again for the best display non-irritated apples at the Spokane Show, which is to be held this fall. They will also make an exhibit at Omaha. The State Bank of Lyle will open on Sept. 1, with Stanley Sorrenson, formerly of the Glenwood bank, as cashier.
     The Lyle Telephone Co. building is being completed, and they will soon be connected by cable with the Pacific Telephone Co. The Northwestern Grain Co., he says, will put up a warehouse, and Ledbetter & Wallace contemplates a wholesale building 100x75, their intention being to make a bid for the Deschutes trade, being able, under the recent decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission, to get goods from the east as cheap as Portland.
