WEYMOUTH MOI
CONFIRMED

Superintendent Merritt of the
crematory department got another
lease. on his job last night when
the council failed to confirm
Mayor Moore's appointment of F.
p. Weymouth. The vote was five
to five. Councilman Schiller de-
clared Merritt had not received a
fair trial; there was something
wrong in the department which
he wanted to get to the bottom of.
The report which the board of
works and mayor submitted to the
finance committee said nothing
which the council desired to
learn. Councilman Mohr said that
he was willing to vote for Mr..
Weymouth, but he loved fair play
Councilman Baldwin put in:
Strange how you republicans are
so DESTROYS of seeing the last re-
naming democrat get fair play"
The committee of the whole
meeting is called for this after
noon to especially take up the
question and give Merritt a hear
ing.

DEPARTMENT NEEDS
ARITHMETIC LESSON

Here is an incident of book.
keeping that may account for
some of the city water depart
ment shortage:
A northside saloon keeper has
been paying at the rate of 1926
per quarter for water. The rate
was 1915 per month. which by the
accepted system of multiplied.
ton would amount to SLIPS per
quarter. This error had run on
from the first of year, the patron
paying the amount named on the
notice.
Lately the department discover
ed the mistake and managed to
induce the patron to pay a
deficiency of SO, although he had
been receipted in full for the pre-
ceding quarters.

NELSON HAS
MADE GOOD
NEW FIFTH WARD COUNCIL
MAN FOUGHT HIS WAY TO
SUCCESS BY 10 YEARS HARD
WORK IN SPOKANE.

Ten years ago Peter Nelson, who
was last night elected a member
OF the city council for the Fifth
ward, was struggling along with a
small grocery store at the corner of
Division street and Mission avenue.
His wife helped in the store, and
after they calculated their first
years profits they found that they
had hardly broken even. The next
year showed a slight improvement,
but the third year they made
money. Nelson had faith in North
Division street and invested every
spare dollar in that locality while
property was still cheap. He is
now in very comfortable circum-
stances, owning six store rooms
and other property that gives a
revenue sufficiently large to enable
him to let his own business rest
for awhile and help run the AFFAIRS
of the city. He retired from the
grocery business some years ago.
but conducts a notion store, which
is managed by one of his sons.
Back in Denmark Peter Nelson
had a good friend named o. B. Mel
son, to whom he was in no way
related o. B. Nelson was the first
to come to Spokane and some Is
or 20 years ago owned a large
grocery store on Riverside avenue.
Afterward, o. B. Nelson induced
his friend Peter to come here, and
the old friendship of the mother
country was renewed in Spokane.
o. B. Nelson is now in business
in one of Peter Nelson's rooms,
and was the manager OF his
friends campaign for the position
to which he has just been elected.
Peter Nelson believes in home
labor and good wages and thinks
the pushing of public improve
ments at seasons when work for
the laborer is not active is good
business policy. One of his ambi-
lions in becoming a councilman is
to see Division street paved from
end to end, with a substantial via
duct across the tracks north of
the Spokane river. Mr.. Nelson
stands will with the Scandinavian
people, who are a large factor IN
the Fifth ward.

ing pillows somewhere headed for
Europe, Mr.. Post objected to the
assessment on the grounds that a
man canont be assessed for some
thing which is no benefit. After
some debate Mr.. Post threatened to
take the matter into the courts.
Past experience has shown that
about the best way to get action
by the council is to begin to talk
suit and then they take the plunge,
as they did last night by immedi-
ately confirming the rolls.
