The Eugene Guard boasts as follows:
At the city election Monday Albany

considerable interest and was closely
contested. Eugene had her annual city
election the first Monnsy in April.
There was no unusual excitement over
the event, and 677 votes were polled.
Last yeer Eugene polled more votes than
Albany, From these indications it may
be safely stated that Eugene has passed
