GOVERNOR'S INVESTIGATOR
OUTLINES JAP SITUATION
Official findings on tho Jap
nneso situation In tho Dciehutci val
ley, as ascertained by Krank Oavoy
of Salem In an Investigation con
ducted for (loTornor Den W. Olcott,
nro contained In n stnto pamphlet Riv
ing Mr. Davoy's report on tho Jap
anese In OrcRon. IteRardlnR his
work In this section, Mr. Davcy says
na follows:
"I proceeded to Bond to begin the
Investigation of tho conditions In the
Deschutes valloy, hut had to work
hack down tho rlrer to get tho most
reliable Kno''ontho facts. Thoro arc
few Japs In tho vicinity of Bend, and
thoso nro laborers or servants, popu
lar with their employers, and not
noticed by tho balance of the com
munity. "At Redmond. SO miles no'tn of
Bend, Is tho principal bojt of tho
discussion which reached Iho ouUldo
world' In a feverish way, early In the
present year, although tho exact
places which caused tho trouble nro
6omo miles distant from Redmond.
"It appears that the Portland-Dcs-chutes
Land Co., George L. Burtt,
president, purchased SOO acres jf-Irrigated
land several mile's north of
Redmond In what Is known as the
Lower llrldgo section, and 13,1100
acres under tho high-lino ditch proj
ect at Powell Butte, some miles
northeast of Redmond. Interested
with Burtt In these purchases Is
Gcorgo Shlma, known as the Japan
ese potato king of California, and Mr.
Flelschackor, tho will known million
aire capitalist and financier, and It
was the Intention of the purchasers
to develop these properties for tho
raising of potatoes, principally for
seed for Shlma's big potato farms In
California.' Mr. Burtt had ascer
tained tho favorable character of the
lands In this section for tho produc
tion of flno potatoes and succeeded
in getting Shlma Interested In the
matter. Burtt Is a commission man
of San Francisco and has handled
Shlma's products for several years;
also has procured seed for hlra, and.
It Is always difficult to find good1
feed potatoes In California. Hence
it was an easy matter to get Shlma
interested In a project that would
provide him a dependable source of)
reliable seed. Mr. Flelschacker was
brought into the project partly
through his connections with bank
ing Interests at Redmond and his
coming in has resulted In the Fiel-j
schacker company substantially aid-j
ing this part of Oregon by the pur-J
chasing of bonds and tho financing
of development projects.
"In the early developments, follow
ing the purchase of the lands and in
preparation for cropping them, tho
Burtt-Shima people brought In some
expert Japanese potato cutters and,
potato planters, so that there would
bo no mistake about the manner of
handling tho crop, those experts hav
ing been in Shlma's employ in Cali
fornia for some years.
"This Introduction of Japanese
was tho signal for a wild furore In
Jefferson, Crook and Deschutes
counties. Tho Impression went
abroad that tho now owners were In
tending to colonize their lands with
Japs and In a short time a powerful
organization of farmers was formed
to protest against bringing any Asi
atics into the Deschutes valley, and
to agree among themselves that none
of them would lease or sell a foot of
land to a Jap under any circum
stances. "That organization had branches
at Tumalo, Lower Bridge. Terre
lionne. White Rock, Grange Hall and
Redmond, and such widespread III
feeling was engendered against tho
Japanese and their employers that
Mr. Burtt, In the Interest of peace
and harmony, presented an agree
ment for his company to the effect
that they would not 'at any time In
the future, employ any Japanese la
bor in, on or about any of their po
tato fields within Central Oregon,
namely, with Deschutes, Crook or
Jefferson counties; that at no tlmo
shall there bo more than six Jap
anese expert potato men employed In
Central Oregon, and In no lnstanco
shall there bo more than three of
said expert potato men employed on
what is known as the C, F. Hosklns
ranch In tho Lower Bridge commun
ity, and not more than three of said
expert potato men he employed on
tho Powoll Uutto ranch at any ono
time, etc. Tho agreement further
stipulated that Jho company would
not sell or leuso any of its lands to
Japaneso.
"That agrcoment, made in Feb
ruary, served to alloy tho excitement
for a time, hut Mr. Burtt later do
dared it off. Thoro was a tacit un
derstandlng when It was made that
there would ho plenty of white help
in tho neighborhood when tho Uurtt
Bhlma poople got ready for spring
work, but when tho tlmo came It was
Impossible to hire anybody for love
or money, notwithstanding repented
appeals In every direction, so Mr,
llurtt sent word that tho agreement
would bo abrogated; that tho plant
ing could not be loiiRcr postponed,
and ho would be compelled to bring
In n fow more Japs to got tho work
dono. He did so, and there nro now
seven or eight Japanese on tho Low
er Bridge property, caring for a fow
hundred acres of potatoes that prom
tso nn Immense crop.
"The Powell Uutto property has
not been Improved and probably tho
project for. Its Irrigation and devel
opment will be retarded for somo
time.
"Tho condition of tho public mind
hero Is similar to that In other sec
tions In which the Orcntal question
Is dominant. There Is a division of
sentiment on tho question, tho small
resident farmer, tho laborer and tho
floater being bitterly opposed to any
Japanese whatever, cither as experts
or ns renter or purchasers, though
It Is claimed at Redmond that tho
prejudice has been worked up by a
fow agitators at another town not
far from the Lower Bridge property,
and that were It not for those agi
tators there would bo no bitterness
among the general farming popula
tion. "Tho larger land owners, men who
have Invested heavily In wild lands
with tho hope of having them ulti
mately cleared, irrigated aud culti
vated to their possibility, ore ready
to welcome the two forces that are
necessary to tnat end, namely, the
capital that will mako Irrigation n
possibility, and that labor that will
put tho land in condition for crop
ping, and they do not caro much
from what source those two forces
aro furnished. The bankers and
merchants and other business men
who want to see that great agricul
tural empire developed aro discour
aged with present labor conditions
and are inclined to favor any class
that will show a willingness to work,
to clear new ground and to bring it
Into productiveness. All of these
would prefer to see the development
and the production wrought out by
whlto settlers, but American homo
builders, to the exclusion of Japan
ese anil other undesirable aliens, bill
It men who nro prepared to havo llui
development accomplished by tho aid
of whlto Inhor nro iinnhtn to obtain
such help If whlto. men refuse to do
the work-- thru they nro ready to do
tho next best thing and permit I tin
work to be done by anybody who In
willing to do It.
"Tho predominating sentiment up
and down tho Deschutes valley Is
against Japaneso, especially In Its
public expression, hut In tho quiet
of private conversation that sentl
mout Is not so pronounced."
