Corvallis Times. Official Paper of Benton County. ORVAIXJ8, OREGON, APR. 48, 1903. TO END WHERE? Is this country on the verge of jreat and unusual labor troubles? Are the columns and . columns of strikes read of daily in the newspa: pers the skirmish engagements of a conflict yet to follow? The call, made in the manufac turers association at New Orleans, for employers and employes to or ganize to fight union labor, sug gests it. 'Manufacturers, accustom ed long to fix conditions and dictate terms to labor, see in the growth of unions, a coming reversal of con ditions. Man insists on being a brute, and they know it. Force and power are controlling elements to? day, just as they were when bar barian hordes overran and obliter ated nations. Survival is a ques tion, now as then, of which is the stronger. Men love to use power, and the more they get, the more likely they are to abuse it. If a single religious denomination had power to rule the world, it would fall into hopeless bigotry and insist upon observances that would out r - tyrannize tyranny. If union labor does not with con tinual successes, become arrogant and unreasonable, it will reverse the usual rule of human action The manufacturers believe it has come, or is coming to this, and the call to organization for resistance is what the New Orleans declara tions mean. Apparently, a con ilict is unavoidable. Rational be havior on the part of both, might forfend it, but flushed with victor ies, past and to come, organized labor, after multiplied years of de feat, is no more likely to be wise, than employers have been in the past- Growth in power and nunr bers will make -.. unions unreason able; for men are only human, and universal brotherhood an oriental pipe dreem.

Call on or write B. It. Thompson, j . . Corvallis, Ore, A long time ago, -twow Corvallis dentists went a-fishing. - A day or two before, one of - them proposed to provide himself with ' fishing tackle. Never you mind; I'll at tend to that; ,'you just i leave it to me," said Emmett. The start was made at daylight, and after a fifteen mile:- drive the fishing stream was reached. - " In stead of the hooks and lines that Dr. White espected to find' in the buggy for- tackle, Emmett brought out a box of fruit jars and a quan tity of lime. "This is what we will fix 'em with: you just watch," he said. Some of the lime was put in the jar, then the thing .was sealed and with it under his arm Emmett and his friend sallied up to the fishing hole. "Now We'll do 'em," he said, as he threw the jar into the hole. Then he grabbed White by the arm, and the two ran off a con siderable distance and waited for the thing to explode. But it didn't burst. After a per iod of waiting, they brought out an other jar from the box, loaded it with lime, again slipped up to the hole and threw it in. Again they hurried off to a place of safety, and waited for the explosion that it was planned would turn many handsome trout on his: back, to. be picked up at leisure v But again the jar missed fire And again and again- the process was repeated without results. .Then Emmett became disgusted. "I'll fix 'em" he declared. He took out another jar, and filled it almost to the brim with lime. "I'll blow the whole creek up, and blow the bottom out of it," he said. mat time ne ana nis mend ran along way off when the jar : was thrown in. They got off far enough to be certain that stray bits of glass wouldn tfill them all full of holes. They sat down and waited and listened. ; ..'- But the thing never exploded. They waited and waited1, and Em mett made no sign of throwing in another jar. "Cet's load up an other one and throw it in," said Dr White, anxious still for the sport of which so far they had not had much "No; by gosh; those jars cost money," said Emmett enthusias tically. And here the story ends: While, who still lives, swears its true; but Emmett says it's false; though it is certain that since he came home tired and , hungry and Ashless that night, he has never again fished with the fruit jari method. MOSTLY SOLD NOW. It Brought Lots of Money Into Beaton j y , ... The Mohair Clip. ", , v; Mohair is quoted at 36 cents in the local market now '.The -price dropped to a much lower figure but subsequently rallied," s A ; great many growers got 38 and 38 but a considerable number failed to sell at the right time, and - their hol dings went at prices two or , three cents lower than they might have realized. One man with a lot of 1,500 pounds is said to ; have been offered 39 but held for 40, and at last accounts, he had not sold. Nearly all the clip has been mar keted. The highest price reported paid outside of Corvallis was the pool at . Dallas, in which 45,000 went at 38. The clip brought somewhere between $14,000 and $18,000 in cash into the county. Mohair packs so firmly that dealers say a wheat sack full of it, well pressed, brings from $10 to $14. At Monroe a large amount of mohair was marketed. Wilhelm & Sons bought over 20,000 and a transientbuyer who made his head quarters there and traveled through the' country bought a 'large , am ount. " The highest price reached there, was 38 5-8 cents. The ag gregate clip of the county, accord ing to the statement ot dealers is probably above 50,000. pounds this season. All Ready!
