WOMEN AND THE CENTENNIAL.

Mrs. NJ. NJ. Bruce, who was appointed
by the Woman's Centennial Board Of
Oregon to look after its interests. in
Benton county, shows her appreciation
of the same by issuing the following
call. The Board has appointed an eff
cient set of county officers, from all Of
whom we expect to hear in due time.
According to resolutions passed by the
women's Centennial Board of Oregon, I would
ask the ladies OF Benton county TO meet at the
Grange Hall, in Corvallis, on Saturday, No

subcommittee of ladies and gentlemen VIII

worthy commissioner is doing all in his
power to further the interests Of our State, and
asks for our assistance. Shall we fail him
Nobly did our mothers assist in the glorious

The name Of the Temperance iSter 1has
been changed to, the Star Of the West,
and. the publication of the paper has
been suspended for a period of four
weeks. The ill-adyised action of the
Star ip the late political contest has
perhaps rendered the word Temperance
so odiods, that in orderstO retain even a
meager support, its proprietor found it
necessary to- drop it. For this, or some
othercause, be thinks the new name will
be "morescceptsble to his readers" The
reason given for the temporary suspen-
sion is that i'the paper has been from the
firsta financial failure, }" and to remedy
this by procuring subscribers, Mr..
Turner will employ the interval in So
lieitiBg subseribtions in various locali-
ties. The subscription price has been
raised from 81 90 to 50 so per annum,
and this, together with the efforts to be
put forth during the next month will, il
is hoped, ehableit TO start again undel
more favorable auspices. as'u ai So

LETTER PROM oaos COUNTY.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST: ~
The date of this letteris not as early
as intended when 1 promised to write,
as bsde you goodbye in Marslfield,
but hope you will excuse the delay.
Indeed, as 1 take up my pen and en-
deavor to collect my thoughts, it seems
that there is little, even now, to write
that Is Of other than OF local Interest.
There has been but little excitement
since you left. The editors of our
county papers, in their attempt to dis
play wit, show their lack of it by Ocea-
sional mention of "Mother Duniway,"
but Of course their stale jokes are moth
ing to you or your readers. Report
passes current here that the editor of
the Netos has bought the Record OF,
and is going to run the last-named
paper on Republican principles, or try
to, until he sees fit to do otherwise.
Lane received a majority OF five in
this precinct yesterday, and owing,
doubtless, to the very sensible law COM
pelling saloons to. keep closed doors on
election day, the election passed of
in quite respectable manner. Quite a
number of women expressed their regret
at not being allowed the privilege OF
the franchise, but are waiting and hop
| ing with what patience they can sum-
mon, for brighter days to, come.

A REFORM SCHOOL.

The question of establishing a reform
school has, from time to time, received
the somewhat spasmodic attention Of
the press and legislators of the State,
but nothing decisive has followed the
occasional agitation of the subject. The
attention of the phiIanthropic and hu-
name portion of our city has, however,
recently been called in a somewhat
painful and certainly striking manner
to the subject by the melancholy in
stance of Juvenile depravity, as shown
by the trial and conviction by the Cir
cult Court, in this city, of four small
boys for the crime of larceny. These
lads, the eldest not over fourteen years
of age, for thewant of proper training
and wholesome restraint, have from
time to time been guilty of offenses
which, on account of their extreme
youth, have been overlooked, until at
length they were arrested for sbstracting
money to the amount of about $40 from
the drawer of al store on First street, and
after due trial were found guilty as
charged. Sentence has thus far been
delayed, but term in the State prison
is the penalty attached to the crime of
which they have been convicted.
The question again arises. in the
minds of those who realize that preyen-
tion of crime is better than its punish
ment, is not reform school necessity,
if we would mete out justice or even
common humanity to these waits,
thrown without their own will or wish
into an existence that circumstances
render curse alike to themselves and
to others +? Does gentle pity or tender
sympathy acquit those who leave un-
used the means within their reach of
rendering material aid and chance of
development and moral growth to the
good impulses that, however warped
and dwarfed and marred, still exist in
every human soul? 1t is clear that if
justice and mercy could effect a COM
promise that would set such offenders
at liberty, that society would suffer,
and they would not be benefited. The
Idea of melting out to them the same
measure and kind of punishment that
is given to criminals whs have attained
years of discretion is as revolving to jus
tice as to humanity, and every one feels
that proper restraint and punishment,
together with kind and firm discipline,
would, while it gave youthful criminals
a, chance to make men of themselves,
prevent their evil influence from cor.
rGpting those of their associates yet un-
schooled in vice. ,- .-.....
AT a public mass meeting called al
Orc Fino Hall, on Monday evening, 6
number of our best citizens expressed
themselves in favor of immediate ae'
tion, looking to the establishment o
such an institution, and ardent hopes
are entertained that ways may. be de.
vised and means raised that will render
the plans proposed successful. ~ -e,

OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORKING
WOMEN. -.

Under the head of 'Female Clerks"
a city contemporary gives some facts
and figures to prove the eligibility of
women to many positions heretofore
wholly monopolized by men, and notes
the fact that "the prejudice which has
from time immemorial been entertained
against women asserting their inde-
pendenee and aspiring by honest work
to earn livelihood, is rapidly giving
way before the light of actual expert,
ment.u Daa, -a1If stK
That this view Of the case is a correct
one none viii gainsay, although few
persons, and especially few editors, will
bear testimony to the fact so apparent.
ActuaIexperiment, which always proves
so much more than theory, however
fine-spun, demonstrates daily that
women are as easily inducted into the
mysteries of business as are men; that
they are as capable, faithful and ener-
getic as the men; and that, notwith-
standing the cry raised last year by DIR.
Clark and his adherents, they actually
lose less time from physical derange-
ments than do men.
Of the hundreds of women employed
in various places by government we
hear frequent accounts, and all favora-
bic to their integrity and capability.
Time was when il a woman from any
cause remained unmarried, she could
see nothing in the future but unpaid,
thankless toll in the household of
another, performing the most menial
and distasteful tasks in return for the
bread of bitter dependence which she
ate, and the scant and scrimped raiment
in which she crept about with self-de-
preciating, uncertain air; feeling, al
though she earned twice told the amount
spent upon her actual necessities, that
an unlimited portion Of gratitude was
due the sisters husband who supported
her" $50
But this disagreeable alternative re-
mains no longer to the woman of energy
and spirit. Although the gateways OF
all avenues except the one leading to
the kitchen, nursery and laundry were
barred at her approach, she has by pa
tient persistence compelled the grim old
warden, custom, to draw back the bolts
and admit her; and although he has
yet, in most cases, with obstinate parsi-
mony refused to consider the woman
laborer "worthy of her hire" still the
experiment has been successful in PROV
ing her capabilities in various depart.
meuts of business Being forced TO re.
ceive for their services pay, altogether

however, he was somewhat surprised
