ing with all possible speed.
The La Grande Observer says of
the coming of a colony of Germans to
Grand Ronde valley to work In the
sugar beet fields:
The first step toward the eventual
aubstitulon of white labor for orien
tal in the extensive beet fields of
fnion county, were consummated this
morning when five families of a colo
ny of 25 German families that have
been contracted with to come here
from Walla Walla, reached here.
The five families went to Hot Lake
this morning and are already locating
themselves In the ranch houses on the
Hall ranch. Before the week is out.
20 additional German families will
have emigrated to this valley for the
express purpose of working In the
beet fields and to make Grand Ronde
valley their future home.
This movement was started by the
Amalgamated Sugar company this
spring and the management feels
confident that It Is a wise one.
Eliminate Jap Labor.
Soon In a year or two at the
most the sugar company will have
white labor exclusively in its beet
fields. The company believes the Ger
mans will prove more valuable and
reliable than the Japs and Koreans

Wallowa Registration.
Registration books closed Tuesday
at 5 p. m. for the primary, says the
Enterprise News-Record. The totals
for the county. 1728, is about the es
timate made by the conservative
guessers. There Is litle doubt that
some Democrats have registered as
republicans to help favorite candi
dates. The most enthusiastic repub
lican does not claim a plurality of
452 for his party In the county. Of
the 94 miner party and no party reg
istrations, the socialists number 43,
Independents 18. prohibitionists 7,
and 2J no party.
Hours for Voting
For the primary election to
be held Friday the voting
booths will bo open from noon
until 7 o'clock in the evening.
During that time all saloons
must remain closed as though
the occasion were a regular elec
tion day lnctead of nomination
time.
The fact that the voting Is to
be confined to the afternoon Is
something of which many vot
ers have been Ignorant and to
day many Inquiries concerning
the point were received at the
clerk's office.
PERSONAL

REVIEW OF WEATHER.
Portland .Station Sends Out Detailed
Review for Past Winter.
The following review of Oregoi.
weather has Just been sent out by
the Portland station and Is the first
of the weekly reports which will con
tinue through the season:
The weather during the last six
months was. on the whole, mild and
dry, with no severe cold spells and
less than the usual amount of snow
in the valleys. There were three
rainy days near the end of October,
but the seasonal rains did not really
begin until the second decade In No
vember and they continued thereaf
ter Intermittent until the end of
March.
During December there was a
marked excess in precipitation be
tween the Coast and the Cascade
ranges of mountains, and one mod
erate cool spell from the 16th until
the 21st. when the temperatures In
the western counties were slightly be
low the freezing point and in the
eastern counties from 10 to 20 degrees
lower than the freezing point, but
only two stations reported xero tern
peratures.
Notwithstanding rains occurred al
most dally In January, the total
amount was small and by the end of
the month there was a deficiency of
nearly two Inches, which was propor
tionally greatest in the eastern coun
ties.
The oldest weather of the season
occurred during the first three days
in February, when zero temperatures
were reported In nearly every east
ern county and temperatures from 20
to 30 degrees above zero In the west
ern counties. This cold spell was of
short duration and followed by mild
weatner during the remainder of the
month.
The February precipitation was de
ficient in all counties and hardly any
snow reii in the cultivated valleys.
About the middle of March there
were three or four days with heavy
rams and mild temperatures, which
caused all rivers to run bank full and
numerous washouts occurred along
me me railroads In the eastern dis
trict.
Frequent light frosts occurred In
March and In the higher sections
there were a number of killing frosts.

H. T. Kelley, erstwhile manager for
the Singer Sewing Machine Company
in this city, has gone wrong, accord
ing to the allegations of his employ
ers, and a warrant for his arrest la
now In the hands of the sheriff.
E. Hensley, representative of the
Singer machine company 'at Walla
Walla, but who Is now In charge of
the Pendleton business, swore to the
complaint against Kelley last evening,
In the Information filed In the Justice
court Kelley is charged' with the em
bezzlement of 128.
But while the amount named in the
charge Is small, it does not represent
Kelley's actual shortage, according to
Mr. Hensley. Up to last evening It is
said a shortage of 1100 had been
found and It Is feared later develop
ments will make the amount larger.
As agent for the sewing machine
company Kelley sold machines and
made collections from the company's
headquarters In the Mllarkey build
ing on Court street. He Is said to
have failed to turn over money which
he collected and his tardiness In that
regard aroused the suspicion of his
employers.
So several days ago Hensley was
sent here to take charge and since
that time Kelley has not been seen.
Patrons of the company have been
warned to make no further payments
to htm.
Kelley Is thought to have gone to
Umatilla from this place. But as the
case was not given to the sheriff until
this morning he has had ample time
to leave the country should he wish
to do so.
