large '.number of people who had as

ARRIVED Tins MORNING.
Eventually the Amalgamated Sugar
Company Will Have Germans and
Other Whites for Laborers Exclus

ilies From Walla, Walla Arrive Here
Today Twenty More Coming This
Week Some Time,
The first steps toward the eventual
substitution of white labor for orien
tal in the extensive beet fields of
Union county, were consummated this
morning when five families of a colo
ny of 85 German families that have
been contracted with to come here
from Walla Walla, reached here. The
five families went on to Hot Lake
(his morning and are already locating
themselves in the ranch houses on the
Hall ranch.' Before the week is out.
10 additional German families' will
have emigrated to this valley for the
express purpose , of . working In the
beet fields and to make Grande Ronde
valley their future homes. This move
ment was started by .the Amalgamated
Sugar company this spring and the
management feels confident that It is
a wise one. ... i , .
Eliminate Jap Labor.
Soon In a year or' two at the
most the Sugar company will have
whlte labor exclusively In Its beet
fields. The company believes the Ger
mans will prove more valuable and
reliable than the, Japs and Coreans
that have heretofore been the chief
labor In the valley. The 25 family
colony wlil be quartered on the Hall
ranch. As otlitr colonies and famil
ies are i'upoited, the oihor ranches of
the company's fields will be the habi
tation of tr-est sturdy Europeans.
