MILLER
Miller's is flag station on the O. & O. R. R., four miles north of Albany, and is a place of no commercial importance, the business being all done in Albany. It is surrounded by excellent farming lands, and is the shipping point for most of the grain raised in the immediate vicinity.
PEORIA
This little village is pleasantly situated on the bank of the Willamette river, six miles west Shedd. Before the building of the railroad Peoria was a place of considerable importance, and commanded a very fair local trade, but for the past ten years has rapidly declined, until now its business is done by T. A. Watts, dealer in general merchandise, and S. B. Finegan, blacksmith.
SODAVILLE
Sodaville is situated in 'the foot-hills of the Cascade mountains, five miles southeast of Lebanon, and derives its name from the mineral Spring found there by Thos. Summers in 1848. The town was laid out in 1870, and for the purpose of forever preventing a monopoly of the spring water, a lot ninety-nine feet square, with the spring in the center, was surveyed and deeded to the public. There is a population of sixty, and that better protection might be afforded visitors at the spring, the town was incorporated in 1880. Sodaville contains a good hotel, under the management of D. P. Foote, and a wagon shop,. conducted by Jas. Edwards.
