toned yesterday morning that special
officer Mr.. Fred. Minnick. had left
here on the North Pacific on Monday
morning with the two deserters, Mill
man and West, in charge for Port
Townsend. 1t now transpires that
West turned up missing in very sin
gular and unexpected manner before
their destination was reached As a
precaution Fred had ironed both of
them, and placed them in stateroom
together. West "bucked like a steer"
when first arrested; but when taken in
charge by Mr.. Minnick. soon quoted
down. When near Port Gamble he be-
came very communicative and unfolded
TO Fred his plans for the future stating
among other things that he expected
to get his liberty ina short time after
his delivery at the garrison. He further
requested Fred. as an especial favor.
to permit him to 60 down to the fore
castle. where he had slept while en-
ployed on the steamer. and gather up
his effects. as he wished to have them

hands approached Fred and directed
his attention to something else just for
a moment. This was . signal for West,
who jumped for liberty like the eagle
for the game. The next thing Fred
saw Of him his heels were following his
body down through q dark, dirty hole
under the boiler. Fred plunged in af-
ter him, but by the time he got down.
West was somewhere else. West had

rice rersd. The slow Jog condition Of
business affairs, which calls forth
general cry of hard time here. would be
considered prosperous and good in many
other sections. Our standard OF good
times has been set extravagautly high,
and were it not for this fact we should
find little reason to complain at the
present situation. When we stop 70
take sounding and compare notes with
other sections of the country we find our
own lot most favorable. There has
been, il is true. a gradual shrinkaee in
values here as elsewhere. though slight
with us. and sharp competition In ali
kinds of business, which has had the
effect to reduce the profits in trade to u
limit before former times It is, how
ever, beyond question that trade here is
in a prosperous and healthy condition.
The complaints come more from disap-
pointed expectations raised away above
any reasonable basis than from any
general depression. The future is full
of greater promise than the present Or
immediate past, and while we wait for
the turn of the tide of affairs, we have
no reason TO complain of our lot and
should make the most of present oppor-
tunities The present lull calls for judg-
ment, caution and enterprise on the
part of each business man. BY enter
prise we do OF mean that reckless adj
venture which has characterized bust
ness in the past But that these are
times when every opportunity for bust.
ness advantages should he looked after
closely. when tho man Of business
should doubly exert himself as the
wary traveller does when a steep hill
lies in bis pathway to be surmounted.
There is nothing like resolutely tramp
ling over obstacles that cross our path
way to success; nothing like pushing
ahead resolutely when the current sets
the hardest against US. Nothing Is
more advantageous to business these
times than general advertising, selling
cheap. and letting people know that
you propose to make quick turn and
small profit on your stock; advertising
