ton. 10 them, the fact that they had to
murder three guards was not important,
so long as they had the weapons to ac'
complish this. The killing of fellow
convict was a mere incident. There
could not be men more malignant and
brutal than these fugitives. If they are
taken alive it will be through having
been caught mapping. They are danger
Gus to approach, and the man to essay
the task must do SO with the understand
ing that he STAY or be slain. Neverthe-
less, all this fails to explain why the pur-
suit should have been so miserably inef-
fective, says the Tacoma News.
1t is true the work would have no attrac-
tons for the timid, but also it is true that
in every community there are some who
possess courage. To lack courage and
undertake to be sheriff or member of
posse, is to obtain money by false pre-
lenses. The fault began within the Walls,
of the penitentiafy. The system that
could permit two conyicts to butcher four
men, and to take unmolested to flight, be-
ing allowed start of many hours, must
be wretchedly ineffective. 1t proves the
guards to have been careless or coward
ly or generally incompetent. The man
Eagement Of the institution did not rise to
the occasion. 1t seemed to have been
dazed. At last party was organized
for, chasing along cold trail. The fel-
ons we're sighted, were shot at, surround
ed; were everything but captured. When
they got ready they walked through the
Gordon and went their way. They seem
to be going yet, and there is scant pros
pect that they will soon be in custody.
Sooner or later they are bound to be
taken, for men of their character cannot
refrain from crime, They will be ar
rested for some other offense after the
present affair has been forgotten. The
public has a right to complain of the
official conduct that has. marked every

maintained for the protection of society,
and when man is sent to one of them
under sentence, he is sent because it is
unsafe that he should beat large. d. Other
men are paid for keeping him there. If
he is too smart to detain, and passes out
to~freedom, it becomes duty to try, by
some Intelligent procedure, TO retake
him. There has been no sign of intelli-
gence in the Oregon episode except as
shown by the fleeing convlcts them
selves. If Tracy and Merrill are caught
within short time it will be in all prob
ability accomplished by our own state
officers, as the desperadoes are now on
Washington soil in the vicinity of Van
couver Clarke county where Merrill has
relatives and is well'acquainted with the
topography of the country.

The average American in every
branch pf business wears outfits phys
ical powers h,fareslis time; and only
zoo oftept under, the selfimposed
strain, his men tai powers break down
also; but the high pressure at which
he works in the maturity of his
strength in tellectpai and physical,
however bad for himself in the end,
is very good for the community in
which ;he- =. lives. Thousands and tens
and hundreds OF thousands fail in
their tracks, like soldiers in the fire
and smoke of battle, victims OF their
own overestimated energies, but their
places are promptly taken by younger
men, animated by the same indefati-
gable and unfaltering spirit. Tine
community is practically made up OF
men working at a.whitet heat, and its
progress FASTENED by the very fact
that ibis; heat is so CONSUMING that
before it dies out in the average indi-
xidual it Injuries, ii it does not destroy
him.

RitzviIle is located on the main line of
the Northern. Pacific. railroad 81 miles
southwest Of Spokane. It's altitude is
about 1920 feet and it is the best little
town between. the Columbia river and
Idaho. Its population is 1900. 1t has
a system of water works and electric
lights and Is the county seat of Adams
county. 1t has good system of graded
public schools. The town is one of the
most attractive in the northwest, the
surface gently sloping to the westward,
while on its crest is the block occupied
by the high school. The prairie lands
roll for a hundred miles toward the Big
Bend Of the Columbia. The forests are
mostly of pine affording cheap fuel and
the entire country is well supplied with
excellent water. 1t lis generally admitted
that this portion of the state has the best
all year climate of any section of the
Union. The nights are always conducive
to sleep. while the extremes of heat and
cold are sufficient to afford four well de-
fined seasons, and they are not so great
as in the country east of the Rockies.
Wheat, oats, barley and all the vegeta-
bles and fruits of the temperate zones
are successfully raised, although for corn
and peaches the nights are too cool.
The country is rapidly filling up and the
price of agricultural lands is gradually
advancing. Tornadoes and cyclones are
wholly unknown and thunder storms
are extremely rare. Here there are not
on an average more than dozen days in
the entire year that the mercury touches
zero, nor are there a greater number of
days that the mercury registers over 90
in the shade.

Trade at Home.

J The News, ever true to the interests of
Ritzville merchants, protests against the
reckless and almost criminal discrimina-
ton against our local business houses by.
citizens who spend their money with the
Observation-Disclosures the East.s 1T is
surprising the extent to which people
who are complaining of hard times and
scarcity of money. deliberately contrib
ute to the general depression by giving
the greater portion of their patronage to
the mail and express order houses of,
Chicago and other eastern cities. This
practice of sending the money out of the
country for the neccssaries and comforts
which can as we'll be purchased, here,
may be innocently and thoughtlessly
done, but the act is pernicious and de-
grading. There are people in Ritzville
who depend entirely ON the. patronage of
the public for the measure of prosperity
they enjoy,who, when they want a. trihing
article, send to Chicago, or elsewhere in
the East, rather than give their patron
age to local merchants on whom they de-
pend for share of support. 1t is high
time this kind of business was discon-
tnued and the people got little local
reciprocity in their hearts. If we want
ed to be personal we could give the
names of families in our city who are en-
tirely dependent on local public patron
age for an income, but whea they want
some article, however small, they send
two thousand miles away to some depart
ment house for it. We concede that
every person has moral right to buy
and sell where he pleases, -but every per-
son owes his first duty to, the community
that affords him a livelihood and we can
not resist the thought that those who
send their money to eastern cities, and
thus contribute to the business depres-
sion Of their home town ought to be re-
quired to depend on Eastern cities for
their welfare and profits. ,.e

A great MANY people fail to realize
how largely the public estimate OF
them is influenced by the company
they. keep. The Young man who con-
forms his personal conduct to toler-
ably 'eofrectsstanalrd but is wont to
take upwith. questionable and sporty
characters need not be.Esurprised if
people are disinclined torepose conf
dence in him. 1t is recognized that
people are seldom better than, their
voluntary associations, which is more
reliable index to their true character
than whatever personal pretentions
they, may make. Veneering is an easy
and simple process but it can't be re-
lied upon to deceive intelligent people,
although it often does And the young
lady who accepts the attentions Of, or
permits familiarity from u young man
of questionable or loose character, or
whose associates are such, Invites re-
Elections and invidious comparisons
upon herself. They may not always
be deserved, but that doesn't t, alter the
fact. Moreover, the ordinary human
being is not iaclined. to living apart,
and to refuse to descend.to their leyel
or abetting them in maintaining it by
ignoring or eondoning their deicien-
lcies, would often tend to their, eleva-
ton. But just from- the standpoint: Of
self interest it is well to have care
as to associates, and to consider who
are their associates.
