Last week Huston shipley, of Monroe,

but little damage was done.
We are reliably informed that John Zeis
will build an ice factory in Corvallis either
this summer or next spring. His trade in
ice is large enough to Justify this move, and
as it is cheaper to manufacture than to ship
it from other points, he must build.
The new city hall is to be built and with.
out delay. 1t will be brick and stone
50x75 feet, to cost s., 900 or less.
AS will be seen elsewhere the committee
appointed at the last meeting of the council
have advertised for plans and specifications,
and it is their intention to let the contract
and get to work on the building just as soon
as possible.
