DuFuR's HUMANITY.
A Stranger Who Dies Receives the Most
Sympathetic Treatment.
DUFUR, May 1st, 1898.

DUFUR, May 1st, 1898.
DALLEs CHRONICLE.
David Robards, native of New York,
aged about 81 years, died at the residence
of Mr.. H. J. Dufur last Thursday morn
ing where he has been i'll with consump-
ton 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 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 II. 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
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 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 $3.50 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 year by Mr..
A. ]. 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 friend is the
nearest relative. M. J. A.

THE SALMON SITUATION.
The Demand for Columbia River Sal
mon Lighter Than Usual.

The outlook for the salmon Gamers is
not Frightening any, and most of them
still seem Indifferent as to the amount
of fish thsy 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 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 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.
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. 1t 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 review of the
situation from the standpoint of either
the Gamer or the fisherman indicates
that the outlook for both is exceedingly
poor; if there is not marked improve
ment in price, the Gamers must sustain
heavy losses, and if there is no increase
in the run of the fish the fishermen will
find it difficult matter to come out even
at the end of the season. In few in
stances men have made fair catches, but
the average is exceedingly low and not a
