Vol. XLI. No. 5T Oorvalijs, Bextox Cotojty, Oregox, Tuesday, July 12, 1904. - O. A. C. Boys in Camp. Mr. J. C. Clark writes an inter- , esting letter: Editor Gazette: There are about 5000 soldiers in two camps near American Lake. ' The Washington and part of the Ore gon boys, with several companies of regulars, are camped near Steilacoom Lake. About eight miles south of Camp Steilacoom the majority of the Oregon boys, all of the Idaho boys and a few companies of regulars, are camp ed at Fort Nisqually. General Funston's headquarters are on the railroad about five miles from each camp, at Murray. The re gulars have been in camp about r 4 days. The O. N. G. arrived July" 7, and the Idaho boys arriv ed July 8. During the encamp ment each camp will take its turn acting as attacking party, and besiege and capture the other. The regulars are taking things quite coolly, but some of the mi litia are considerably excited over the prospect of the attack. The bigr event, the dress parade, will come ofF July 17, in the after noon. The Young Men's Christian Association has two large tents at each camp. They are kept open Irom early morning till late at night, and furnish a place for the soldiers to meet and talk and read Bach tent has tables where the men can read the latest papers and magazines or play checkers, or write, on the stationery fur nished free by the state commit tees of the Y. M. C. A. in Ore gon, Washington and Idaho. The tents are full at all hours when the men are free,. The tents at Camp Steilacoom are cared for by C. N. Makins and G. W. Leavitt of Seattle, and , those at Nisqually by R. Bras sington. of Portland, J. J. Rogers 'of Bellingham, Washington, and J. C Clark of O. A. C. There are about- 35' O. A. C. boys in the O. N. G, camp at Njsquallv. Among them are M. W. Bartmess, A. S. Hall, J. C. and C. E. Rinehart, G. S. Moore, R. Cutsforth. D. Esson, 1 Woods, Fullerton, Wyatt, 1 Burt Bowers, and Fred Stimpson. PATRONIZE - HOME INDUSTRY. The Corvallis Steam Laundry the Best in the Valley. Precinct Officers Elected ZIEROLF... Carries the newest; best and most complete line of s G . . ZOOLIF There was a time when people were probably justinea in sena ingr their laundry to Albany and other points, for Corvallis did not then have ample tacilities for do ing first-class work. But that time is past. " Corvallis now has one ot me very nest-equippea laundries in- the state, and the work done can be excelled by no laundry on the green earth, for the work done at the Corvallis Steam Laundry just simply can not be beat. Yet there are those right here in our midst who still send their work to outside towns. Go and examine the work for yourself. Mr. Johnson takes pride in showing visitors all the details ot his new plant and it is a revelatiou to any novice to see the wonderfulN strides made in the methods of washing and iron ing clothes. There is no rub bing, and sweating and swearing as ot old, but 'modern machinery moving noiselessly yet effectively accomplishing the requfred work in much less time than could be done by hand. Mr. Johnson has already expended nearly $1000 in improvements within tne last tew weeks and ne now has a plant of which the city may well be proud. Every citi zen should see that their patron age will encourage Mr. Johnson in his laudable undertaking. The clothes are first packed in a big machine capable of holding 150 shirts, suds are then poured over these clothes and a big 12 horsepower engine does the work l nere is no rubbing or wearing or tearing, it is a squeezing pro cess from start to finish. The clothes are . wrung in a centrifu gal, a machine that by rapidly revolving throws the water out instead of wringing and wrench' ing and twisting and breaking buttons. The - starching even is done by machinery. Little brass knuckles gently rub the starch into every fibre of the clothing The dryer has over 250 feet of steam pipes; It is a delicate process to dry clothes and still keep them white, drying them too rapidly turns them yellow and extracts the bluing. There is a scientific process by which it is all done so that the best re sults may be obtained.' Mr. Johnson . makes all ot his own soap, bluing, oieacnmg, starching, etc.-and oversees it all with personal security. 'The ironing is done on two sets of rollers, the largest for flat ironing is heated bv steam, and different articles are fed in on one side and come out - smooth and neat on the other side.' For the col lars, cuffs, shirts, etc. Mr. John son has his own invention, a machine that costs a large sum of money and that does the work so well that the eye can detect no defect. Then again, Mr. John son's collars don't break, the but ton holes don't tear out, the col lars don't stretch, while retain ing1, a perfect eloss thev can : be worn with perfect comfort and ease. This concern is now fully established in their new quarters on the corner of Third and Jackson streets. . Mr. Johnson's monthly pay roll is $2 so. He employs from six to ten people all the time, Laundry comes from all points on the C & E. . from Indepen dence, Monmouth, Falls City, Dallas and other points equally distant. We believe in-patron izing home industry and keeping the money at home. We further more believe that when towns like Independence, Dallas, To ledo, Philomath, Newport, Falls City, Albany and Monmouth patronize the Corvallis Steam Laundry that Corvallis ought to patronize it also. Johnson car ries an ad in the Gazette and is firmly convinced that judicious advertising pays. .. . The following imposing array of legislative and executive lights for the different precincts of. the county bids fair to . strike terror to the hearts of manyj youthiul offenders.

Constables were not elected in Blodgett, Willamette, Alsea or Monroe. At Alsea both candi dates received the same number of votes. The proper way is to petition the county, court, but as this has not been done, Alsea offenders will stand in no fear of a local bailiff. R. E. PUGH, Of PHILOMATH. A Successful Business Man Why Some Stores Are Crowded and Others Are Not. "Mr. Pugh is one of xnr regular advertisers. His ad is as good as the limited space will allow, but it shows that Mr. Piiih is still in the hardware bn.-iress and it brings results. Take a look at it - Mr. Pnghv is a thoroughly upright and' reliable gentleman, one of those men vou are always glad to meet igain,' who cannot do enough to tccommxlate you and with whom h is a pleasure to transact ' business. In the last seven years by fair and honest business methods he has risen from nothing to one of the most extensive enterprises, in Ben ton county. . We most heartily. wish for him a fatr measure of the county trade," especially that about and west: of Philomath, over, in fertile Alsea and produc tive Kings Valley. v What does Pugh keep? Why he keeps for sale John Deere buggies, hacks, etc., farm wagons, mowers, hayrakes, plows, hay forks, pulleys, etc., hoes, shovels, axes, picks, etc. ihe tanner. he woodcutter and mill man can find there just what he wants and needs. He keeps wire fencing of all kinds, telephone wire, net- ng and wire for screen doors, he beekeeper also can find his supplies there. The carpenter and blacksmith need not eo to ortland to get tools for Pugh keeps them always on hand. He keeps a full line of gasoline, ubneating and illuminating oils, paints -for houses, bicycles. vehicles, efc. Now that the unting season is opening, Mr. ugh is laying in a fine stock of guns, ammunition, supplies tor. sportsmen. The housewife will have her kitchen needs supplied by calling on Pugh, be has a full line of tubs, washing ma chines, stoves, ranges, tinware, graniteware Space will not per mit us to enumerate farther. Go there and see for yourself, espec ially you who live near Philo math. If Pugh does not have what you want on hand, the very next train out of the city of Port- arid will bring you what you de sire irom tne wholesale nouse. Remember Pugh, the hardware man of Philomath. T T- T f f "V-vl - .K. u,. rugn, 01 .Philomath, can be counted as one of the most sue cessful hardware and implement dealers in Benton county. He is doing a big business today, has an immense trade in one of the most fertile and prosperous farm ing and lumbering sections in the state and is a firm believer in the use ot printers' . ink. There is very much in judicious adver tising tor even the 1 casual ob server who walks through the re tail districts of a large; city dur ing the holiday season can scarce y fail to be impressed with the almost phenomenal difference in the amount of business done in the' various stores. ! 1 He will notice that one store seems to be constantly crowded . with ens tomers, that the f salespeople are working to the Ji mil of their en durance and that the delivery wagons are kept busy night and day distributing the goods sold in another store in the same block, perhaps the next door, he will observe that there 1$ prac tically nothing going on. This store is quite as attractive as the other, it handles the same line and quality of goods, and per haps thev come irom the same factories.' The prices are equally low, and the clerks are courteous and aitentive, but there is a much smaller staff ' ot salespeople em ployed, , and even during the holiday rush ' they "are not kept busy. : vny ' is there such a re markable difference? The rea son lor this, dmerence will in variably be found in legitimate and judicious advertising. The merchants who were doing good business were good adver tisers, the others were not" Bradstreet finds that 84 per cent ot the merchants who failed last year did not advertise at all and the other 16 per cent did not ad vertise enough. .
