Sodaville Quietly Dreams
Of Its Illustrious Past
By BEN MAXWELL
Like the mineral spring that bubbles eternal within its cor
"1' porate limits Sodaville lives on.
For decades this Incorporated hamlet, nestled In the timbered
foothills of Linn county only a few miles southeast of Lebanon
has lived on dreaming of its Illustrious past and vaguely of a
it hoped might1
.-. grandeur that
some day come.
With an official population of
less than a hundred lt Is the
" smallest incorporated hamlet In
o Linn county and one of the
mailer in the entire nation.
On December 5, 1932, Soda
" vHle held an election to settle
u seething controversy about
maintenance of its municipal
T atatus. By a vote of 2 to 22
from a total population of 77 Its
'! corporate status was sustained.
' Total valuation for the city of
Sodaville was then $13,000 and
- lh normal municipal tax
amounted to $200.
M
'' Justification for Sodaville's
existence then and now Is the
' Invigorating spring of mineral

from home.
During the IROOs a nominal
sum was raised for construction
qf a spring house though a num
ber of years elapsed before The
present structure so distinctly
dated in respect to architecture
could be completed. But 1 1
stands today on a sylvan slope
like an ancient shrine to remind
the passerby that this commun
ity, then poor and never rich,
regarded Its natural benefaction
wth sufficient esteem to house
it properly. ,
