OBSERVATIONS.


II.
Corvallis is abuudantly supplied with fra
ternai and benevolent societies, there being
no less than fourteen organizations in the
city, to say nothing of the w. &. r. u, Y's
and church societies. The man who wants
good excuse to make to his wife, when he
stays out late at night with the boys, has
only to join three or four orders, then he
has plenty of material for explanation. But
nevertheless. prosperous beneficiary and fra
ternal societies in city are good indica-
ton of liberal enterprise and progressive
ideas, and play an important part in tne civ
ilizing influence of modern society.
Representatives of eastern capitalists re-
Gently visited Corvallis, and looked over the
field with view of bidding on the water
bonds After a careful examination of the
city and county affairs, they were most
agreesbly impressed with the present solid
aud future prospective property of this sec
ton. AS q consequence the water bonds
were sold st liberal rate of premium, bile
CAPITALISTS who did not have correct idea
of the financial status of Benton county were
aln:cst down to par with their bids
During the latter autumn months of 1892
several yuuns men OF this city. who wcre
not accustomed to cooking for themselves
concluded they would save expenses and put
away something for u rainy day by estab
llshing bachelor quarters. Cheap quarters
were secured, and the different households
boasted for awhile, how economical they
were living on the best the market afforded.
Bat, after awhile the novelty began to wear
away. 1t was too much trouble to kindle
fires, ard sometimes the steak would buri.,
and other casualties of an unexpected na-
ture would occur. Out of the half dozen or
more who started i'll {" keep bachelors hall,
only two rcmAin in their Gmy. They are

their cozy bachelor quarters across the street.
The dentist and dry g"o'ls clerks have re-
turned to their respective hotel. and restau-
rant, and the others don't care about batch
ing any more.

A HEAVY MAJORITY VOTE TO STOP WORK IN
ORDER TO COMPEL ADOPTION OF THE
EIGHT HOURS SYSTEM.


EIGHT HOURS SYSTEM.
Brussels May o4.-Thc Miners International Con-
grcss, at It's session to-day. adopted resolution IN
favor Of an eight hours working day In the Mines
The supporters of the resolution represented 904.oOo
miners and the opponents represented 100000 miners
Tho Congress then proceeded to discuss the question
Of universal strike 10 enforce the eight hours
system.
The discussion Of this question was long one,
strong minority being against the proposition for
universal strike. Tie supporters or tie proposition
were vehement in their declarations that the end
sought would never be obtained until an international
strike should have forced employers and legislators
to recognize that the miners were determined u
secure what they deemed their right. When the
question was put to vote an overwhelming majority
supported the proposition. Delegates representing
900 900 miners voted in favor OF an International
strike while opponents of such action represented
only 100 900 miners. The delegates representing the
miners Of Wales and the North Of England voted
with the minority.
The Congress voted unanimously in favor OF the
exclusion OF femal, labor from IN and about the
