SODA AND BOTTLING WORKS
Work on Gideon Stolz Company's
New Factory in Dallas Begins
Today.
The proposed bottling factory in
Dallas will be in active opera
tion within a short time, as the machin
ery for the plant has already been
ordered, and work has been com
menced on the erection of tho build
ing. Gideon Stolz, of Salem, a man of
years of experience in the business, is
managing the enterprise, and has
already shown by the activity with
which he is carrying on his prepara
tions, that he intends to make it an
early and complete success. When
Mr, Stolz and his son, Walter, came
over from Salem yesterday morning
at 10 o'clock, they bad formulated no
definite plans concerning the erection
of the factory, but so prompt. and
effective was their action after their
arrival in this city that before 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon they had all the
necessary lumber on the ground and
had the carpenters at work on the
foundations.
Mr. Stolz says that the soda works
will be Installed first, and later he
intends to enlarge the business so as
to comprise the bottling of fruit juices
and the manufacture of vinegar, a
business in which he has won wide
and richly deserved fame. He will
later undertake the manufacture of
sprays in which he has previously
met with good success.
He says that he can promise the
people of Dallas a bottling plant as
extensive and well equipped as is
generally found in a city of 25,000
inhabitants, and adds that be is con
vinced that the market will fully
warrant his action.
Dudley Purvine, the general fore
man of Mr. Stolz's establishment in
Salem, will superintend the construc
tion of the Dallas factory and the
Installation of the machinery.
According to today's Oregonlan, It
is probable that Philomath College
will be absorbed by Dallas College
and that the supporters of the two
institutions will unite to build up one
strong school at Dallas.

Riggs arrived home Friday from a
