Will Install Soda Works and
Modern Cold Stor­
age Plant.
The local brewery changed hands
last week too lgte for last week’s
issue. Geo. Gehrig sold his interest
in the plant to J. C. O’Neil and
G. W. Bowman, of this place.
Messrs. Bowman and O’Neil are
new comers here and both are as­
sured of the future of this place and
believe they have made a good in­
vestment.
Mr. Bowman is of Proidence, R.
L, where he has been in business
as a tobacco broker.
Mr. O’Neil
was formerly a railroad man in Cali­
fornia and both have made many
friends since their arrival who wish
them success in their new enter­
prise.
They will immediately install S
modern soda works, complete. The
latest sanitary bottling cleaners and
devises will be used and they guar­
antee a first class article. They will
continue to make the steam beer
that is known all over the county,
and in addition will be local agents
for one of the largest standard lager
beers. The former owner will leave
shortly for an extended visit in the
old country.
In addition to the soda works,
they will put in a first class cold
storage plant. This alone is one of
the things that has been needed here
for a long time, and since the ice
plant at Coquille was destroyed by
tire this past summer, they will no
doubt supply the trade all along the
river.
Bandon has need of such men as
these, who will invest here and pro­
mote industries that are needed.
We have all of the ice used he re
shipped in and the soft drinks have
to all come from the bay, and t hen
many times the demand can not be
supplied. It will take the new
company about two months to get
the plant in good working order as
much of their machinery has to
come from the east.
Roseburg, Or.. Besides having
the biggest prune crop e\ er grown
in this section of the state, prune
growers state that another encourag­
ing feature is the fact that the prunes
seem to be running in the larger
sizes this year rather than the smaller.
This latter feature will mean much
to the prune men, and w ill also add
materially to the foreign reputation
of < >regon prunes.
A< cording to one of th<- largest

country the picking will begin in

to gather a jury in such a sparsely
