YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY BUYING HERE NOW Everybody Vote For the Goddess boys, as he likes to call them, and could hardly command his emotions sufficient ly to convey to them his appreciation of and thanks for their loving remembrances. This act shows the warm relationship between the popular commandanfand the cadets. It is even closer than friendship, because it is the outgrowth of long personal association and recog nized worth. The Captain has shown by his every action that he has the deepest interest in the boys, while they have all learned to honor and esteem him for his sterling worth and to obey his expressed orders because they real ize the value of implicit conformity to discipline. Many stories could be told of the close relationship existing between Cap tain McAlexander and his cadets. While off with the regiment at Seattle, he re fused any other attention, entertain ment or rations than those accorded to his men. Returning from Portland, when every boy was tired and hungry, he wired ahead of the train and at Sa lem had huge baskets of sandwiches brought aboard for their refreshment, and kept so strict an account of their expenditures that each boy had 20 cents to his credit after the trip was over, the regiment voting to turn the amount into the military fund. In a hundred different ways and by many kindly acts Captain McAlexander has endeared himself to the cadets and they all hope he will be detailed here as commandant for long years to come. An Important Club Meeting There will be an important special meeting of the Corvallis Commercial Club Friday evening, June 18, at which every member is expected to be preS' ent. . - This meeting is called for the purpose of discussing the definite proposition submitted by Messrs Gerlinger and Mc- Cready, of Falls City, to locate a big sawmill here, provided some assistance is given them in securing a site that has already been selected for this in dustry. '' The executive committee of the Com mercial Club was to have considered this proposition yesterday afternoon, but decided that it was a matter calling for more extended discussion and the general action of the club. This being the case, it is hoped that there "will be a full attendance Friday night, and that the club will find the proposition one which will result in Corvallis securing this large industrial enterprise.
