The Melita Enterprise, in June 1903, reported that: "Lyleton is booming and several buildings are in the course of erection or completion. The new hotel, costing about $6000, is almost finished and will prove a boon to the travel-ling public as well as to some of the lonely bachelors around town. The foundation of the new Presbyterian church has been laid and we understand that it is the intention of the congregation to build a manse, too. The ratepayers of the district have decided to erect a new schoolhouse in the town. A comfortable station has been provided by the Canadian Pacific Railroad and is under the management of Mr. Barnes. When the post office is located in town, the area shall be blessed with many of the conveniences of modern civilization." The semi-weekly mail service to Lyleton went into effect in July 1903.
