Clifford and Sallie Foster visited with their aunt at Paulina on Monday. Jupntiese farmers are b'lay In Di s rlml.'B county, preparing land and pliintlng crops, hoth at Terrebonne and Lower ltrli1g. At Terrebonne 400 arrejt are being prepared for this year, half of which i will bo pliinlnil to spring whi-nt nndj the remnlntng half to netted gem pn-l Intocs. planted about seven sucks to1 the nere, for the purpose of mitring i S'-etl for the lnrKe California ranch owned by Hliltnii. j A large acreage Is itlso being plant ed at Lower MrlriKe by lite stune Inter, cuts .and operations are being rushed by the foremen of the Japaneac, who are white men, to K"t the binds ready as enrly pumiiMe t,. Inntire good crops. Three cars of seed potatoes have been shipped to the Terrebonne ranch one coming from Tnmalo. for plant ing there. Young Pltlnin. the secretary of the potato king, and his nephew, Is on the ground and Is very active in get ting the operations under way. All the above, which can hn veri fied by anyone wishing to do so, by Inquiring of Hov Pnvln. foreman of the Terrebonne ranch or any other of a number of men Interested, proves the point made by the .Tournnl some i time ago, to the effect that the wide and long publicity given the Japanese situation In this county by Deschutes county papers was largely because! the matter was a Crook county Issue, and for the adverse publicity that the old county would get from such discussion. Now, however, we have a rat of an other color. Shlina and his associates hnve se cured and are operating two ranches In Deschutes county and no big stor ies have been printed In the papers nhnve mentioned. Why? ( Wo are told that the merchants at ' Redmond and other points are mak-1 Ing a strong bid for the cash business of (he Japanese, which hiis assumed quite a volume, and we have heard of no Indignation meetings about these' things, either., I Wu believe It In order for Crook county citizens to hold a meeting, ami assist In settling the domestic af fairs of Crook's youngest child. While the meeting Is in session the Des chutes county fair problem, the high way situation, and the county Judge Issue might also be discussed. We will leave It to Deschutes coun ty papers to set the time and place for this meeting. We are not pleading the case for the Japs for a moment. We do think that what Is situce for thn goose is auce for the gander and are amazed that Interest in the quuHtinn lags as soon as the Orlentols start operations In Deschutes county.
