scnonig a poole lor the purchase of
the acreage rather than have it go to
its prospective buyers.
The' land in question is located
above Pooris on the Willamette over
and aggregates approximately 1000
acres, borne time ago when four em
issaries of a large clan of dissatis
fied Russian settlers in Saskatchewan,
Canada, were conducting an investiga
tion through the Willamette valley
with a view of purchasing land for
colonization purposes, they stopped
off here and became so impressed
with this section that they took an op
tion on the land, incorporated a col
ony to be known as the Dukaboors
and returned to their homes in the
north to perfect the final plans for
this immigration to this setcion.
It is understood that several families
are now located on the land which
is to be said for in installments.
The point raised in the objections
entered by the grangers is that they
are an exceedingly common class of
immigrants, that they would not co
operate educationally or socially and
that as a whole they would not make
desirable citizens.
Tf reports relative to this class are
to be taken truthfully, they are an
undesirable sect. It is said that
in Canada, the Russian Dukaboors
farm all land in common, are presid
ed over by a leader, who is nothing
short of a king among them, and he
in turn attends to the affairs of his
people, bv buying all implements,
ware's and supnlies and that he holds
the title to all lands owned by the
colonists. All of the proceeds from
il,n innH cm tn him. It is understood
that in Canada the?e people go off
at intervals on what they term rcii
gious pilgrimages." Tn the nude state,
men, women and children, alike go out
nnnn the onen uchways in the dis
rharire of these pilgrimages and the
Northwest mounted police have had
to take a hand in putting a stop to
tlipse nractices.
Perry Parker, master of Sandridge
liranire. who is in tne city touav scrv
ing as a iuror. is authority for the
statement that the grangers arc cxer
eisd o't th" "Oti'"" of the Russians
and that in his opinion the grangers
would stand ready and wiling to pool
and purchase the lands rather than
have the Russians purchase them.
