The peach market is beginning to

that dealers are selling for what they

A BOLD UNDERTAKING.--Again it is
reported that the Oregonian is to have
q competitor in its long filled and ex-
elusive field of journalism. 1t is said
that Denver and New York capitalists
are to put up $4,000, and are prom.
ised an equal amount OF local capital,
to iuaugurate the enterprise. Forty
years ago, Ben. Holiday, the railroad
king, made a similar attempt and
sank barrel of money in the Herald
and the Bulletin, when the Oregonian
was much less panoplied for warfare
and failed. And since that time spas.
modic efforts have been made to es.
tablish newspaper OF general circu'
lation in the Oregon metropolis, but
most of these got no farther than
talk. Nathan Cole sank a cool hun
dred thousand dollars in the News, one
of the later contests for supremacy
So, there does not seem to be much
encouragement that can be CLEANED
from experience of the past, although
a division OF patronage will doubtless
result in serious loss for time to an
enterprise that is entitled to sympa
thy quite as much for perseverance al
for the high character of its service.

QUESTION OF POLITICS.
Workers Ask to Which Party Ernest Lister
BELONGS

An interesting question has been
raised by politicians regarding the po-
litical party to which Ernest Lister.
chairman of the Board OF Control, ac.
knowledges allegiance. The question
probably has no legal Importance, but it
IS Interesting to men who follow the
game OF politics.
Mr.. Lister has always been a Popu-
list. That is, he has belonged to that
party since he was old enough to vote.
Possibly he drew the Populst allotment
when the Lister family divided its poll
tics, for it is represented in every wing
of political parties, but in any event,
Ernest Lister has remained true to the
organization of Mary Lease and J. b.
Weaver. Even at the Seattle conven-
ton he acted with the Populists, or
such OF them as were favorable toward
the Governors denomination. SO far as
known there has been no remuneration
of the Populist party principles on Mr..
Listers part.
What makes the subject interesting to
politicians is provision OF the new
Board of Control law. This is to the ef-
feet that the members shall be chosen
from the dominant political parties, a
provision that was designed to prohibit
the Governor from naming two Popu-
lists and one Democrat, or vice versa.
If Mr.. Lister is Democrat, then that
party has control; if he is Populist,
there is one member from each of the
parties and he ought to change his poll
tics. The matter has no important bear
ing, but politicians are curious and Mr.
Lister refuses to discuss the question.
The above article appears in the
Tacoma Ledger of the 9th inst. Err
nest Lister is cousin of Mr.. S. G.
Lister, proprietor of the Pioneer Iron
Works, OF this city, stalwart Repub-
lican, as are most of his family, and
we will gladly afford him space to ex-
plain how an allotment was made by
which it " is represented in every wing
of political parties" Dimes to dough-
nuts that the Ledger shows an incor-
rect footing when it strikes such a
balance, judging from the unanimity
of political opinion OF the several
members of the family who reside
here.

There May Be Breakers Ahead.

Bear III mind the courthouse capI-
tol Is not yet IN established fact. The
down-S0nnd papers give 1t out that
Rogers Is firmly determined TO tear up
the magnificent foundation on Capitol
Hill, which has cost the state over
SlUO, 900, and use the stone and brick
for the court house annex. Belief in
the report l. supported 10y the we'll
known antipatlly often manifested 10y
the executive towards any movement
made to place supcrstructure on
what he calls the "McGraw founda-
ton" The smallness OF his nature is
shown by the vindictive hatred which
he has, on many occasions, carried
into official life. Nobody who knows
him is surprised that he should raise
his hand against the work OF politl-
cal rival, however mcritoriOus it may
lie, or that he would vent his spite
upon the inanimate rocks that were
thus placed in what was intended to
be the foundation OF creditable State
building.
He is said to favor Chuckanut, to
the exclusion OF Tenino stone, for the
annex, unless his pet scheme of using
the capitol foundation is adopted, al
though it will necessarily cost more
for transportation; and he seems OBJ
livious of the fact that the foundation
rock of the capitol basement is OF a
different color from the courthouse
material, and, being dressed, would
not harmonic, with the finish of the
completed building, but these are
minor matters that will be dismissed
by wave OF the hand of the imper-
ious autocrat, when it suits his con-
yenience to stultify his record.
He, nor his commission, have any
moral or legal right to sacrifice ninety
thousand dollars represented in labor,
to save the difference in cost of few
thousand dollars in stone, if indeed
any saving can be made by its use,
and his impious hand would doubtless
be stayed by the strong arm of the
law should the attempt be made; but
does anybody believe for a moment,
from experience of the past, that this
would not lead him to block all efforts
to construct the temporary capitol in
his own way and to suit himself to the
minutest of details?
1t is the opinion of many people
that Rogers would have even vetoed
the Ruth bill, based upon his own
suggestion made two years ago, had
he not feared that the Republican
majority in the Legislature would
have carried an appropriation to build
under the modified original plans on
the capitol foundation, should he not
shown an apparent disposition to deal
falrly by the courthouse proposition.
Even as it was, caucus was held to
consider the matter Of repeating the
Ruth law and substituting a bill on
the lines suggested, and pass it over a
veto. It failed from the fact that
many of the members felt pledged by
their vote on the Ruth bill to sustain
the plan involved by it.
