A grand rally of citizens Of Benton,
Linn and Lane counties will be held at
Corvallis tomorrow to consider the
proposition Of European capitalists to
build the Yaquina Bay R. r. for bo-

most liberal proposition, and we trust
that the citizens generally Of the CEN
trail part Of the valley will come for
ward as one man to aid the Important
enterprise. There ought to be big at
tendance from Linn at the meeting to-
morrow.

pentine and put mustard plasters onto his
stummick, until desire for dog has failed
With us and the hopper grass has ceased 10
be a burden, and If the thing continues
much longer dog that is born of his ma
ternal ancestor will be offew days and short
