FIREMEN SAY FIGURES
ARE UNFAIR

Members Of the Spokane fire de.
partment are indignant over an ar.
ticle published this morning and
carefully designed to show that
while the heads of the police and
fire departments in this city de-
serve more pay, the rank and file
are getting as much or more than
in other cities.
Tacoma, Portland and Walla
Walla figures were given to prove
that the man who does the work
should be satisfied in Spokane. The
Spokane fire boys submit the fol-
lowing comparisons, which they be-
lieve more to the point. The sal

Make CREA MAT0RY
SElF-SuPPORTlNc

A new scheme in connection with
the proposed crematory department
has been suggested to Mayor
Moore. 1t is stated that the plant
would pay for itself in 3 years If
rendering" machinery were put in.
This wouldn't cost much. Every
bit of animal that Is hauled to the
place to be burned would be put
into vat and there treated SO that
the oil would be extracted. This
sells at big profit. The bones would
be sold for fertilizer and there Is a
market for hides. Whatever was
left would be finished in the fur
mace.

"A SAD SMILE

According to the daily
Dutch Jake" advertisement
In the morning paper,
Mayor Moore has in mind
the task Of measuring and
regulating the length of
