Housewives complain of a large per cent of their fruit spoiling that was put up in tin cans, the tin being very in ferior in quality. This will result in a larger purchase of glass jars the coming fall than ever. Mr. J. W. Dickson of Endersby has left at this office two monster wild sun flower roots.

The attention of the business public is called to the fact that The Dalles daily and weekly Chronicle is the leading newspaper east of the Cascades.

When Pendletonians woke up ther morning they found their post- office building vacant and a notice on the door informing them that the office ight be found in another part of town. he removal was a surprise to most of the citizens, but as it is now more cen trally located there will be little corny plaint. Annual Picnic. DUFUR'S HUMANITY. A Stranger Who Dies Receives the Most Sympathetic Treatment. Dufitr, May 1st, 1893. Dalles Chkonicle. David Robards, a native of New York, aged about 37 years, died at the residence of Mr. H. 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 this coast. The funeral took plat e at 10 a. m. Friday. All business house3 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 service 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. H in man. who has known him since childhood and associated with him for the past ten years in this country. There were also appropriate music by the choir. Services by Mr. Hinman at the grave. Handsome floral decorations of the coffin and grave, by those who bad known and loved him in life. At the time of death it was supposed Robards was penniless or nearly so, 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 $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- the Ifortunate 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. The Methodist Sunday school will give a May picnic on Saturday, unless it should be a rainy day. The school gives a : general invitation to all those who wish to join them on this annual festive occasion. The general order as issued reads thus : Those joining are expected to equip themselves with lunch basket and other necessary paraphernalia usu ally provided on like occasions. The temporary rendevous is at the academy ground for further orders. If you want fishing tackle, Mays & Crowe is the place to buy it. They have a large and well assorted stock to select from at prices to suit all. Accidentally Shot. An accidental shot was made last Sunday afternoon near Nansene through the careless handling ot a revolver. It seems that a young man about 18 or 19 years of age, by the name of H. W. Harris was fooling with a revolver and accidentally discharged it, and the re sult was the shot struck his left hand, above the junction of the little or ring finger, entered the dorsal surface and come out through the palmer suface, inflicting a painful wound which will require several weeks to heal. The young man was taken to the county hospital at Hood River by order of the PERSONAL MENTION. Hon. Robt. Mays is in the city. Chas. Mell of Klickitat is in town to day. Miss M.

Corson and wife returned Sun day from their bridal tour and are now "at home." Mr. George Lowe brother of Robert Lowe, of 8 mile left on the Steamer Reg ulator this morning for his home in Hartford Conn. Will Kalse Apples. A company has been formed in Port land who propose to buy 1,000 acres of fruit land either in the Hood river or the White Salmon countryi which will be cleared and set to apple tree3. We are not at liberty to publish the names yet, as they desire to secure the land first. There seems to be a general wide spread interest awakened in the fruit raising business, not only in Multnomah county, but throughout the state. Only a few days ago a horticultural society was organized at Albany, with the fol lowing officers : H. Bryant, president ; J. W. Blain, first vice-president ; J. F. Keney, second vice-president; C. G. Burkhart, secretary; J. F. Peebles, THE SALMON SITUATION. The Demand for Columbia River Sal mon Lighter Than Canal. The outlook for the salmon canners is not brightening any, and most of them still seem indifferent as to the amount of fish thiy 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 in 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 the poorer classes in the South and 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 pay 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 beiug 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. Astjjfian. Christian Endeavor Convention at Portland. 02 O O rH S-t P4 m o CD S 6 OS 0 Portland , April 29th. The sunrise prayer service was at tended by about seventy-five Endeav ours. At 9 :15 a report from the editors and manager of our st ate paper (The Oregon Endeavor) was received, which showed a fairly successful year's work, though not a financial Buccess. A discussion then ensued, in which many of the del egates took part, in reference to the continuance of the paper and the advis ability of enlarging the paper, increas ing its size and price, and other things. This discussion to show the manage ment of the paper, what the Endeav orers of the state wanted in the paper, and what they wished to pay for it. At 10 o'clock Dr. C. F. Kent of the American Institute of Sacred Literature of Chicago, spoke to us on the subject, "Bible Study, How?" During the business hour, officers were elected and the other business of the convention conducted. Resolutions of thanks for our kind treatment while here, were passed. Saturday afterncon an interesting ser vice addressed by Mrs. Thpmas Boyd, subject, "Junior Work," which was very interesting. Saturday evening the Oregon concert was a very delightful affair. Sunday afternoon service at the Tab ernacle. Mr. Kent's address on "Per sonality" was instructive. Mr. Woolley's address on "Story of My Life," was very touching. Your delegates failed to attend the closing services, but were informed that they were very interesting. On Sunday afternoon after Mr. Woolley's "story," about three hundred dollars were raised for the benefit of Rest Island. An island in the Missis sippi river for the reclaiming or saving of drunkards. This retreat was founded by Mr. Woolley, and all he receives from his lectures, Or the sale of his books is used for this cause, and much good has been done thereby. A Delegate. HOTEL ARRIVALS.
