planer arc dressing lumber for the 8sooo
hotel, which will soon be built at sodaviIle.
Thisis only the beginning Of very bright
future that awaits sodayille. That The
railroad will be extended 10 SosaviIlc soon
y scarcely admissible Of doubt, and Mr.
Hardman realizing this, no doubt,as many
others do, has taken time by the foreiOck
and is nov erecting and proposes TO have
compkted BY the fst Of June one Of the
best equipped hotels In the valley. The
site for the new hotel Il on the northwest
corner of the b'ork occupied by the Fonn.

man OF sufficient means a1d energy the
public may feel assured Of meeting with
eycry accommodation that the most fastid.
ious could desire. From the site OF the
new hotel Albany Il plainly visible on q
clear day, and the electric lights on the
streets Of Albany only need to be infensi-
fed 20 reflect their rays through the hotel
paFlors. Il IL simply astonishing how
plainly these lights ran be seen at Soda
Vile, q distance Of eighteen miles. We
would be willing 10 call Sodaviiie one Of
the suburbs Of Albany, but as II Il an In
corporated town and Il preparing for 9

enlarge the stable and add new set Of |
bnggies. A new butcher shop, black |
smith shop and drug store are the next |

Tic springs have recently been enlarged and |
rcraodeled. and now II Is estimated that |
they contain water enough TO quench the |
thirst Of all the people Of city. a strange |
circumstance has been developed recently |
that few are aware Of, namely A Port |

during the winter this water has been |
sent down In barrels. bottled IN Portiand,a a |
