A HIGHER APPOINTMENT MADE.
Promotion of Lieutenant-Colonel
Darby to Colonel Other Pro
motions at O. A, C.
A general order issued from
regimental head quarters at OAC
lest Wednesday made an entirely
new office and gave promotion to
several of the commissioned
officers. The new office is that
of Colonel, and former Lieut.-;ror
Col. Darby was promoted to fill
the place. Major T. A. Garrow
is now Lieutenant-Colonel, Capt.
F. B. Divis, of Company D. is
now Adjutant, Captain Quarter
master, Webster; Capital n Com
missary, Suepard; M-ijor Infantry,
Carlson; Adjutant-Lieutenant
Swan; Quartermaster-Lieutenant
Pilkington.
The only change in Company
C. was in appointing Jackson as
ist. Lieutenant. In Company
D. Steiwer was appointed Capt.,
Damon ist Lieutenant, and Mc
Laiu, 2d Lieutenant. Jordan is
now 2d Lieutenant of Cavalry,
and McCormick ist Lieutenant
of the Signal Corps.
Other officers are the same as
was published in the regimental
roster in this paper October 14,
the above being only the changes
made since that date.
The military department of
OAC is now placed on the same
standard with the best military
colleges of the United States. It
is now thought possible to bring
the regiment to such a standard
of efficiency that will place it in
the list of institutions of the
country from which two members
of the graduating class may be
appointed each year to the Second
Lieutenancy in the regular army.
The formation of the regiment
gives to the Seniors and Juniors,
who have drilled at least two
years as infantry, an opportunity
of learning the military science
and " tactics of all the other
branches of the service. Among
the new subjects taken up .will
be the topographical, surveying
and sketching sections of the
service, and the general court
martial, which is designed to
give the students practical know
ledge of' all the different depart
ments of military service.
Apple Show A Success.

Gazette, the county court held
an apple show Saturday at the
real estate office of Ambler &
Watters, in this city, the purr
pose ot which was to get speci
mens of the first quality of pears
and apples, for exhibition at the
Lewis and Clark Fair. The
show was a great success in every
way and brought forth as nice
apples as can be raised anywhere
on the Coast. There was a prize
of 50 cents a plate awarded lor
each first prize, and all "first
prize" fruits are to be preserved
in glass jars and exhibited at the
Fair next year.
In all there were 28 prizes
awarded. The judges were
Marion Hayden, A. B. Alexander
and J, J. Cady. Following are
the names of the successful con

Eighth Grade Examinations.
A circular letter has recently
been issued to the different coun
ty superintendents of the state
by Supt. Ackerman. The letter
takes up certain matters concern
ing 8th grade examinations to
be held during the coming year.
This is a matter in which every
teacher and many pupils are
deepiy interested. The dates
fixed bv the State Snnerintendent
th(l cotnjne 8th erade ex
aminations are: January 18, 19,
20, 1905; April 12, 13, 14, 1905;
Mny 17, 18, 19, 1905; June 7, 8
and 9, 1905.
A program has been prepared
that must be followed in every
school. The following is the
program: Wednesday-Arithmetic
spelling and physiology, Thursday-Mental
arithmetic, reading
and civil government, Fridavs
Lauguage, history and geography
Many questions arise concern
ing the source from whence the
questions of the various branches
are taken. To know this will
enable many teachers and pupils
to better prepare for the work.
Questions in the following sub
jects will be taken from the
following sources: Geography
State course of study, the coarse
print in Fry's Elements of Geog
raphy. Spelling 75 per cent from
miscellaneous test words in Reed's
Word Lessons, and 25 per cent
from manuscripts.
Writing Vertical, Specimens
of penmanship as indicated in
copied matter and Irom manu
scripts. ,,
Reading -Indicated selections.
Language Reed's Graded Les
sons in English, no diagraming.
Civil Government Chapters 1
to 25, inclusive, and 37 to 45 of
American Citizen.
It might be well for teachers
to note that the program; gives
examinations in mental arith
metic. Last year no examin
ations were given in this branch.
The spelling will mostly be con
fined to the test words.
Warning to the Public.
Where do you get your laundry
work done? Do you know that
improperly washed clothing 4s
one of the most fruitful fields for
the breeding of all' kinds of dis
eases and germs? Do you know
alo .that the Corvallis Steam
Laundry has a scientific process
for washing clothes that renders
them absolutely clean aud free
from all contamination? The
laundry, which is home industry
has everv modern convenience
for doing only strictly first-class
work. . Go down to the laundry
building and see for yourself, the
proprietor. Mr. Johnson will be
pleased to show you every de
tail of the work, the building is
open to tne puoiic ana
any one
may go who desires.
Mr. Johnson makes all his own
soap, bluing, Dieacmng, starcn-
mg, etc., and oversees the entire
plant with personal care. Most
of the work is done by machin
ery and in such a way that the
most delicate fabrics are handled
with great care. There is no
tearing or stretching, or breaking
of buttons. ,,
The work of finishing and
wrapping is done by a gioupe of
neatly dressed .and handsome
ypung Jaqies jBa.U, jonnsonis
pay roll averages $250 a mouth,
whichcis a fair indication of the
amount of. work ..done for the
public, andthe, popularity of his
plant.
Laundry arrives daily - from
all points on the C. & E. aud
from points-a the S. P asfiar.
distant as Dallas Monmouth and
indeje.ndence. There was a time
wheu people were probably justi
fied in sending- their f laundry to
Albany and other points but Coit
vallis .now has one that can no-
be excelled, anywhere in the
Willamette'Valley.

COLLEGE JOTTiNOS
Items of Interest In and Around
the O. A. C.
Rev. Esson, of Portland, was
a visitor at Chapel Monday morn
ing. New collar ornaments have
been adopted lor the OAC cadets.
They are used to distinguish the
department of the regiment the
cadets belong t . The. ornament
is a small gold pin. Crossed
rifles are for the infantry, crossed
cannon for the artillery, crossed
sabres for the cavalry, crossed
flags and torch and similar de
vices lor the other detachments
Misses Mamie and E3na Hibbs
former OAC students, have been
the guests of Corvallis friends
the past week.
Smith Mann, formerly an OACj
student, but who is now study-j
ing medicine in Salem, spent thei
Thanksgiving holidays with re
latives in Corvallis.
Prof. Taillandier of the depart
ment will give a Piano Lecture
Recital on Wednesday evening,
Nov. 30 in the College Chapel.
This is something the Corvallis
people do not often have an
apportunity of hearing, so it
should be well attended.
The reorganization of the regi
ments caused by the increase, of
students is now completed. The
highest . officer, under the new
arrangement, is Colonel H. C.
Darby.
Miss Ethel Rigdon is soon to
be registered among the OAC
students. She is from Colorado,
and is now visiting at the home
of her uncle, Cbas. Heckart, in
this city.
Miss Alice Sweek, of Burns,
Ore., was the guest of her sister,
Miss Agnes, during the Thanks
giving holidays..
Rev, Chambers, of Portland,
was a visitor at Chapel Monday
morning. He gave a very good
short talk to the students.
Poultry Show Catalogue.
C. G. Hinds, of Alameda,
Calif., who is to judge the. Poul
try Show next month, has writ
ten Secretary Simpson a con
gratulatory letter, speaking in
highest terms of the management
of the show and the enterprise
they have exhibited in making
it known. In speaking of the
catalogue printed at the GAZETTE
office, copies of which were sent
him, Mr. Hinds says:
; "The Premium Lists were
also received this morning and I
must certainly congratulate you
on tne issue, it is as neat as
one usually sees from 'the larger
shows. You surely have a band
of hustlers and if the show isn't
the banner one of Oregon it will
not be your fault."
The driving of 1140 head of
mutton sheep from Corvallis to
Portland, a distance of about
100 miles, shows the kind of ser-
vice people in tne Willamette
Valley are getting in the way of
freight transportation. Stock
men have for a long time com
plained of this service- without
avail, and in order to get their
stock to market are compelled to
resort , to oid time methods be
fore railroads were builtv The
shrinkage in driving fat ; stock
such a distance' is ereat conse-
queqUy. an. expensive method of
shipping.., ..We believe if- this
matter, was put before the South
ern Pacific Company. in the right
light they would come to the re
lief of ; the shipperi thereby - en
courage a. larger trade along their
lines, i We do nut believe asy
railroad'that has bet n so friendly
to the--interest of : ;:thv: farmer in
the Willamette.yaltt-y' a-' has the
Southern !t Pacific, ,'! wo . d allow
these .conditions to. exist L any
