One of the developments Of the
new administration that Is still to
be figured out is the reappointment
of Commissioner Wetzel, with espe-
cial reference to his continuing at
the head of the water department.
He was not wanted either by the
workingmen's representatives nor
the businessmen. His past record
in the Office has proved that his
continuance there is an actual men,

ment belonging to him as water
commissioner 1t has been securely
hidden.
Yet Mayor Pratt appointed him
in defiance of all this and the
board recognized to hold Wetzei
in a place he has demonstrated
that he canont fill. Just previous
to the appointment Mayor Pratt
announced. with some show of
emphasis at least, that the water
question was the paramount issue
before this city. He followed that
with a continuance of the man UNI
der whose supervision the water
question had become, not an issue
with hope of speedy and satisfac-
tory settlement, but an object of
terror to every property owner.

Wetzel seems to be satisfactory

COST COUNTY
SIS 90 FOR
GLEN TRIAL

Spokane county will be put to a
special expense of over $500 by
the Clein case, which does not in
clude the salaries of prosecutors
court officials and deputy sheriffs
employed on the case.
This morning Judge Webster al
lowed the first batch of claims
growing out of the trial, being
S399.20 for witness fees and s5oa
fer jury fees. The jury board bill
VIII be over 5000 and in addition
there are bills for medical experts
stenographic reporting, rig hire
photographers charges and other
ircidentals that will run the special
expense easily over $500.
1t will not be as costly case
to the county as the Joe Gauvette
trial, in which the testimony was
chiefly from medical experts. who
afterward filed bill against the
county for $3.50.
Clein is confident that the courts
will give him another chance to re
gain HIS liberty. Asked If he had
written about his arrest and con
fiction to his daughter and par
ents in the old country, Clein said
he had not and that he did not in
tend doing SO while a prisoner. Be
cause of the lack Of time, the sher
IFS Office made no inquiries as to
the truth of what Clein said about
his relations in the old country
These facts. together with his
army history, will be obtained
should Clein ever be called to trial
again.
Deputy Sheriff Clarence Long to-
day learned of people in British Co
kimbia who are acquainted with
his record on that side of the line,
They were here to attend the trial
but kept their knowledge Of Clein
carefully under cover.

cording to WetzePs admissions had

Mayor Pratt is right in his view
that the water question Is the city's
chief concern right now, but he
owes a further explanation as to
why his hands are tied in It's inn

conferred on him the power to
