OBSCURE LANGUAGE.
Tim Author of tha Dtn'l Keformer'
Klther lsnorant or Aftr a Healp.
Title Dallas, May 4lh, 1803.
Euitok CiiKoNici.it :
A corresfKindcnt of the Sun, who
signs himself "Kefortner," wants to
know w hat lias become of the Cituosici.it
correspondent who signed himself "An
other Citizen." lie wants thelatter "to
rise und show that "Citizen" was ignor
ant of what he is tulking about or that
he uses the truth w ith "miserly frugal
ity." If "Heforuier" had carefully read
"Citizen's" last production he would
have seen that no further explanation
was necessary. "Citizen" made the
statement that it cost the city "for the
superintendent" $1,500 a year. The
phrase "for the superintendent" was
confessedly obscure, but it was plainly
calculated w hatever its intention might
have been-to teach that this sum was
the amount paid for the services of the
superintendent. When "Citizen" ad
mitted, in his second communication,
that the superintendent's salary was
only (75 a month the only object that
the Ciibonici.e correspondent had in
view, namely, truth and fair play, was
accomplished. It was idle to enter into
a war of words with a man who did not
seem to know the difference between a
water commissioner and tiie superin
tendent of the water works, or with one
who used the truth with such "miserly
frugality" as to charge that the "water
commissioner" handled nearly as much
money as the city treasurer who had to
give bonds, while the former was ex
empt, when everybody, with the possible
exception of the Sun's two correspond
ents, knows that no water commissioner
handles a dollar of the water funds, and
if it was intended to complain because
the superintendent did not give bonds,
the cause for such complaint has been
removed by a legislative amendment
that requires all future superintendents
to give bonds in the sum of (5,000. The
question of salaries is largely one of
opinion. I do not think any of tlieu. is
extravagant. If I thought otherwise I
should say so. On the other hand I
think the salary of the superintendent,
against whom "Citizen" seems to have
a speciul grudge, is very moderate in
deed, and I make tlie prediction that
no water commission will reduce it for
many a day. "Reformer" would cut
down the recorder s salary to 50 a
month because "good lawyers" have
been heard to Bay that "auy lawyer"
could ufford to do the work for that sum
It is however, a matter of common re
port that the lawyer who now holds the
oflh will not seek a re-election because
there is not enough in It for him at (100
a month. Be this as it may I am clearly
of opinion that a lawyer who would ac
cept a (50 a month recorderehip would
be some briefless incompetent that the
city might find dear at any price. I
write this simply as a citizen, having
the public welfare as much at heart as
Reformer." I am not concerned, ex
cept as a taxpayer, directly or indirectly
in the salaries of city officials, but I de
test that particular species of "reform"
that wastes its energies in wailing over
the degeneracy of the times, in making
groundless insinuations of extravagance,
if not corruption, against public func
tionaries and in seeking to build itself
up by pulling everybody else dawn.
What does "Reformer" mean by asking
me to explain "how it came about that
such an amendment to the city charter
passed the legislature with reference
to the water commissioner?" I have
read tlie amendments and cannot for the
life of me, see anything wrong in them.
There is no provision relating to a
"water commissioner," but one provides
that after the next election, the super
intendent who shall be appointed shall
retain office for three years unlees re
moved for cause, and shall give bonds
n the sum of (5,000. If "Reformer"
confounds the superintendent with a
water commissioner, as "Citizen" has
done before him, and refers to this pro
vision, he will have to explain himself
what is wrong in it for I cannot. If
"Reformer" knows of anything that is
wrong in the legislative amendments
or in the actions of the water commis
sioners, let him come out and tell it like
a man, and not rest in insinuations and
inundoes that can have no etlect on the
intelligent reader but to lead him to
suspect that all this "reform" jangle is
but a covert political attack on some
city official whose scalp is wanted to
adorn the armor of "Citizen" and "Re
former." Anotiikr Citizen.

THE SALMON SITUATION.
The Iemand for Columbia Kiver Mai.
mon Lighter Than final.
The outlook for the salmon canners is
not brightening any, and most of them
still seem indifferent as to the amount
of fish they pack. The news from the
markets of the east and Europe is any
thing but encouraging, the buyers claim
ing that the demand for Columbia river
salmon is lighter than ever before in
the history of the industry, and that
there is a corresponding increase m the
demand for the inferior brands put up
on the Frasier river and in Alaska.
None of the packers can offer a satisfac
tory explanation of this fact, unless it is
that the slight difference in the price is
an object to th poorer classes in the
South aud East and in Great Britain.
Of course to a certain proportion of con
sumers this difference in the respective
prices of Columbia river brands and
those put up in British Columbia and
Alaska is a matter of no concern,
but those who prefer to psy the higher
price for the better goods are in the
minority.
A few of the cannerymen are receiv
ing all the fish they can get, and pack
ing them ; but how they intend to make
any profit is a mystery that no one
can explain at present. As yet there
has been no very great improvement
noted in the color of the salmon caught,
most of them being pink fish. It was
stated in this city yesterday that one
packer was paying 5 1-2 cents per
pound for as many as he could get, but
with what motive in view no one
could explain. In fact a review of the
situation from the standpoint of either
the canner or the fisherman indicates
that the outlook for both is exceedingly
poor; if there is not a marked improve
ment in price, the canners must sustain
heavy losses, and if there is no increase
in the run of the fish the fishermen will
find it a difficult matter to come out even
at the end of the season. In a few in
stances men have made fair catches, but
the average is exceedingly low and not a
few of the most expert of the fishermen
on the river have recently come in after
an absence of two or three days with
scarcely a fish in their boats. Aetoriun.

In the shaft connections provision is
made for covering one more dynamo to

Work will be begun soon, as it must be
finished in time to make the complete

DUFUR'S CHARITY.
A Stranger Who Illm Receive the Moat
Hympathetle Treatment.
Dckub, May 1st, 1S93.
Dalles Chronicle.
David Robards, a native of New York,
aged about 37 years, died at the residence
of Mr. II. J. Dufur last Thursday morn
ing where he has been ill with consump
tion for the past year. The deceased
was several years ago in the employ of
Dufur Bros, and has made this his home
when unemployed. He had no relatives
on tills coast. The funeral took place
at 10 a. m. Friday. All business houses
were closed at that time out of respect
for deceased and nearly all the residents
of Dufur, and a number from the sur
rounding country followed the remains
to their last resting place in the Odd
Fellows' cemetery. The funeral services
were held at H. J. Dufur's. Prayer by
Rev. Baker ; music by the choir and re
marks on the character of deceased by
E. T. Hinman, who has known him
for the past ten years in this country.
There were also appropriate music by
the choir. Services by Mr. Hinmau at
1 the grave. Handsome floral decorations
of the coffin and grave, by those wno
bad known and loved him in life.
At the time of death it was supposed
Robards was penniless or nearly eo, in
fact he so stated and wanted but a few
days before to dispose of his watch to
"raise a little money." In making
preparations for the funeral it was dis
covered that he had about f 160 reserved,
no doubt, to defray the last necessary
expenses.
The treatment of Mr. Robards during
his last illness is an honor to the com
munity, and the nursing and attending
to the sick man for over a year by Mr.
A. J. Dufur and wife, bound to the un
fortunate by no ties of relationship, is
worthy of mention even in this age of
Christianity. After all a friend is the
nearest relative. M. J. A.
