LISTER MAY
RON FOR SENATE
Disaffection Among Washing
ton Republicans Thought
Democratic Opportunity.
HIGH POST EYED BY MANY
Sir. Pol ml ester's Road Back to Capi
tal Regarded as Beset by Ob
stacles, of Which Ole Han-
eon is by jno Aicans ieasi.
- OLYMPIA, Wash., April 24. (Spe
cial.) That Governor Lister may take
advantage of seeming disaffection In
Republican ranks to become the Demo
cratic candidate for. United States
Senator next year Is the -report that
has been repeated about the capltol
this week, since Senator Poindexter has
renounced the Progressive party and
announced his candidacy for re-election
as a Republican.
Ever since Senator Poindexter's
return to the Republican fold was tore,
casted It has been evident that his
candidacy for re-election would be re
ceived with anything but enthusiasm
by Republican party leaders generally.
In spite ot opposition from the organi
sation, however, it Is apparent that
Mr. Poindexter can count on the sup
port of a considerable number of
voters of Independent leanings, es
pecially In Kastern Washington. Thus
whether he should be nominated or
defeated In the Republican primaries,
the Democrats see strong chances of a
division In party's ranks.
Retirement Is Dented
This situation Is the cause of the
talk of Governor Lister as the Demo
cratic candidate for Senator. It has
been generally assumed that the Gov
ernor would be a candidate for re
election, and should his ambition run
along this line, It is reasonably certain
that he would be given the party nomi
nation without opposition. During the
legislative session the story was spread
broadcast that the executive would
Keek no further political honors, but
would retire to private life at the end
of his present term. The Governor,
however, has made it plain to his
friends that this story was originated
by his political opponents, and that he
has by no means made up his own mind
as to hia future' course.
That Governor Lister could obtain the
nomination of his party for the Senate
without a fight is not certain. Ex
Senator Turner, of Spokane, narrowly
defeated by second choice votes for the
nomination last year, served notice im
mediately thereafter that he was in the
race for Mr. Poindexter's seat, and
there has been much talk of S. J. Chad
wick, judge of the Supreme Court,
though Judge Chad wick is not yet cer
tain of hia own course.
Governorship Una Rearing.
Whether Governor Lister finally gets
Into the Senatorial scramble probably,
will depend largely upon whether the'
Democrats can find a strong candidate
for Governor. One story has It that
David S. Troy, ex-State Senator,- of
Jefferson County, was to be taken into
the state administration as Commis
sioner of Agriculture and incidentally
as a possible candidate for Governor.
Mr. Troy's business associates objected
to his giving up his connection, how
ever, and he declined the position prof
fered by the Governor. At the present
time not one of the Governor's ap
pointees appears to have developed suf
ficient individual strength to make him
a suitable candidate for executive, and
if a strong candidate is to be found he
probably will have to oome from out
side the Statehouse.
What Ole Hanson, of Seattle, will do
Is another question that lias been in
teresting politicians since Mr. Poin
dexter's announcement of his own can
didacy was made. Ideas differ as to
details of Mr. Hanson's probable ac
tivities, but political observers are
unanimous In believing that the course
the Seattle man will take will be what
ever he decides will Inconvenience Mr.
Poindexter most. When Mr. Hanson
was putting up a capable fight for
Senator last year on the Progressive
tioket. Senator Poindexter was actively
campaigning for the same ticket, but
In other states. He drifted into Spo
kane a day or-two after the election
and has never explained bis disregard
of the Washington fight to the satis
faction of Hanson supporters.
Possible Contender Mentioned.
W. E. Humphrey, dean of the Wash
ington delegation in the lower house ot
Congress, and ex-Governor McBride are
the men most mentioned as candidates
of the regular Republican wing for
the Senatorial nomination next year,
but it is well within the bounds of pos
sibility that Mr. Hanson might enter
the race himself. If for no other reason
than to destroy Mr. Poindexter's
chances.
While In Washington for the next
few months. Senator Poindexter will
make efforts to lead remaining Pro
gressives back Into the Republican
jarty to support him at the primaries
in September, 1916. While Eastern
Washington Progressives generally are
expected to follow this course, the
Bull Moose of the coast counties have
not yet made up their minds. Feeling
still exists on the part of Progressives
who were members of the last Legisla
ture against the Republican majority,
and Senator Poindexter apparently has
Inflamed rather than allayed this irri
tation by denouncing the Legislature
as reactionary, at the same time that
he announced his renewed espousal of
Republicanism.

Co. to Remain In Business
In all seriousness we announced, some time ago, our intention to close
out our business, this owing to the uncertainty of conditions existing at
the time, to-wit: The sale of the property and the disposal of the lease
of our old location, and lack of suitable new quarters available, uncertain
business conditions, etc That we have changed our minds is to no little
extent due to our friends and customers, who have steadily encouraged
us to continue to serve them in our line as of old. A substantial portion
of our stock yet unsold, and the general iip-trend of the business outlook,
the unexpected opportunity of obtaining new quarters within one block
and a half of our former store and at a rental far below it, are a few of
the many reasons which, we believe, warrant our remaining in business.
We invite your inspection of our new five-story building and the displays
.of our different departments.

LANE FRUIT HELD SAFE
DANGER FROM FROST GOXE. BljT
PRUNES APPEAR SHORT. -
J. O. Holt Also Thinks Fewer Cherries
Indicated Thun Recently Expla
nation Dropping; Given.
EUGENE. Or., April 24. (Special.)
Lane County fruit has passed the frost
period without Injury and only freeze
can 'Injure It now, according? to J. O.
Holt, manager of the ugen Fruit
growers' Association, who ha -completed'
a brief survey of the county's
fruit in an effort to estimate the
crops.
He finds, however, a shortage In
prunes in comparison to indications
two weeks agro, and a sligrht shortage
in cherries through parts of the county,
though In neither case as serious as
last year. Reports from Salem indi
cate similar conditions and reports
from California Indicate a marked
shortage of prunes all over the Coast,
which means. It is believed, there will
be a marked rise in prices 'shortly. The
price is low at present. Neither the
Lane prune nor cherry crop is below
the average, he says
Mr. Holt has a new theory to explain
the apparent mysterious dropping of
the small fruit, which takes' place
some years more heavily than .in oth
ers. He believes that the orchards are
showing a lack o fertilization.'
"When an orchard tract has raised
a crop of trees, It has done a pretty
good job to begin with," said Mr. Holt.
"But when it comes to putting out a
crop of fruit year after year, without.
any rertlllzeT, it leaves the trees too
weak, to stand off disease. As they
grow old they get debilitated and they
take every disease that comes along.
"This is but a theory, but I believe
that It will be worth while considering.
It is just the same as with any other
crop; the ground must be fertilized."

FRUIT SAVING TO BE TRIED
Idaho University Flans Experiment
to Eliminate Waste.
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow.
April 24. (Special.) Equipment is be
ing installed by the horticultural de
partment of the University to conduct
a huge fruit evaporation experiment
this Summer and Fall. The plant is ot
small enough size that it can be in
stalled in any farm ot orchard and will
be used by the Idaho expert as a
means of getting the exact cost of
utilizing aarden and orohard by
products for marketing.
All varieties of small and large fruits,
berries and vegetables will be dried
and put In salable form. The two
principal objects of the experiments
will be to determine the time required
for the evaporation of tho various
fruits and the cost of steam evapora
tion. It is believed the experiments
will result In a saving of thousands
of dollars in evaporated fruits that
now are wasted every year in Idaho
and the Northwest.

Mr. Greenfield has unlimited
, faith In Portland, as Is evidenced
t by this latest acquisition of this
choice business corner. which
was formerly occupied by the old
Louvro Restaurant.
I Thousands of people thronged
the store all day yesterday pur-
chasing shoes and receiving the
souvenirs given away,
"All I know Is shoos, shoes,
, shoes," says Mr. Greenfield, "and
all I sell is shoes for all the fam-
lly. 1 started business in Port-
land only seven years ago with
J but ver little capital. 'and by
, hard work now I have three
i stores. It Is Impossible even to
estimate the thousands of pairs
of shoes I have sold I may say
it would run into the millions.
J Business is good with me and I
, feel assured that it will continue
i to be good."
