Maydw and take the position that
competitive plans would be the best in
every way to serve the public interest.
Cities all over the land .take great
pride in exhibiting their public school
buildings. The buildings erected
il this city during past years are not
much to brag about. We claim that
for the same amount of money we will

come before the board before.
"All we ask for Is a chance to show
our ability. We ask for no such undue
ad vantage as an election or appoint
ment We want no fa~oritism shown"
Architect Mavdwell said:
"This is public work. There are
quite a number of architects living in
this city and paying taxes and all OF
them ought to be allowed to compete
for this contract. All we ask for is re-
cognitiou knowing that this is public
work and that we are taxpayers"
SECRECY AND FAVORITISM.
Despite this common sense expos1-
ton of the casa the board resOrted to
favoritism, and by secret ballot in dark
room voted down an amendment that
at least provided for fair play.

AMONG THE FILIPINOS.

A fair kized audience of Albany people
last night were given as near the reality
OF fight with the Filipinos as it is pos
sible to ex, erience, without crossing the
Pacific. The lecture OF Capt. H. L.
Wells. OF Portland. with nearly two hun-
drsd fine views presented the war with
the Spaniardelw hom our soldiers crossed
the ocean to fight and then with the Fill.
ipinos,. as experienced by the End reg
iment OF Oregon, in very iife.like man.
ner. The Captain is a good off-hand
talkeF and his We've are remarkable for
the actions they present, many Of them
having been taken by q camera fiend
right in the fight, the man stopping, TAX
ing q snap with bis camera and then
with his gun. For instance one Of the
views gives them as they had crossed the
rice held at Malabon and were driving
the Filipinos from the trenches, and
many others showed them on the firing
line in actual battle just as snapped by
the camera. The Filipino with all hia
sneaking procliyities and cowardico
stood out in bold relief and as has cnar.
acter was developed by the lecturer to
the DRMoCRAT man he presented
mighty big pill to swallow as fellow
American citizen. In connection with
picture Of the business houses Of Manila
the statement was made that 30 per cent
of the business Of the island is done by
Chinese, the very people whom for years
we have been trying to exclude from
tnese Pacific coast states.
The address and views were not over
drawn, for they we're facts, and they cer--
tainly presented the Oregon regiment in
the light We know they deserve, splen-
did body OF brave, we'll disciplined sold
diers, who did their dutv towards put.
cling down these treacherous pagans.
