full house. The speaker gave a very in
teresting talk ON the war in the Philip
pines and exhibited many souvenirs In
the shape Of guns, knives, wearing ap-
parel, etc, OF the Spaniards and Finli-
plnos, which he acknowledged he stole
when he couldn't capture or purchase
| them. His description OF the surrender
Of the walled city Of Manila, when the
Spanish army gave up their arms and
equipments to the soldiers of the Second
Oregon and the proud flag OF old Spain
was lowered to be replaced by the Stars
and Stripes, was vivid and thrilling, as
was his story of the battle OF Malabon,
where the Oregon boys made reputa-
ton for themselves and their state and
made their colonel general. The lee
ture lasted two hours, and the large
audience was thoroughly interested till
the end.
|, Schwartz, who came to Hood River
a month ago to act as trustee for the
Denver Clothing Store, was called to
San Francisco on Monday to take res
ponsible clerkship in the board of pub
lie works of that city. He passed the
civil service examination some time ago
and was third on the list for this appoint
ment, but the political power at that time
dlsregarded the law and made appoint
ments OF others who came after him in
the line. Mr. Schwartz is very capa-
bic and competent man for this appoint
ment. He at one time held clerkship
in the board Of supervisors Of San Fran
cisco. The Glacier congratulates him
upon his success.
