- 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

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

of votes. The proper way is to
petition the county, court, but as
this has not been done, Alsea

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. .
