Invite an open discussion oy the men
present," said R. Ogata, Japanese far
mer, who is in Prinevllle this week,
looking over the local it,.,ti,.
a view of buying or leasing lands
here.
I Ogata, who Is associated with G.
Hata in the matter of securing land
here, says that if a majority of the
people want them to stay away from
this part of the country, they will do
so wi thout question.
V hlle they have several pieces of
land under consideration, none has
been purchased or ren ted as yet
Ogata says, and no such action will be'
taken until after the Friday meeting
of the Commercial Club.
A petition, which was signed by al
moin all the men voting at the Ochoco
district bond election on Saturday
declared against the sale or lease of
land to Japanese, and there I eonsld-
raui aeniiment against them here,
and against their farming in this vic
inity. The fact that there seems to be a
strong feeling against them in place
where they have been for year would
lead one to the conclusion that i
should not be necessarr fn
I county to try the experiment
I Homer Barney, who live at Hood
! River, is in the city this week and he
j is firmly of the conviction that it
j would be a fatal mistake to encourage
I the sale of lands to the Japanese.
