This gentleman asserts that Corvallis is a central point that is much talked of by prospeelive liome seekers m Chicago. Why'.' Miwpiy because Corvallis li;i tteeii lor a long time alive to the fact ! that these people were coming and has Frank fiibson, of the Uickreall ; to at tend : the miller 8 meeting lor the pur.; pose of putting a price on flour or I to combine to make all sell alike. lCLKlNS.
