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.

The executive committee of the Com

there "will be a full attendance Friday
night, and that the club will find the
proposition one which will result in

W.-C. Noon Lumber Company.is in the
city today. He reports the rapid con

company is now building from the old
Felger mill, two miles west of Philomath

The grading is now completed and
the rails are on the ground. Track
laying will begin immediately and the

help greatly to develop Benton county
and to make Corvallis the receiving and
distributing point for the rich resources
of this part of the state.
