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.

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

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.
