The secretary of tlte league being absent, F. H. Rosenburg was elected In his stead. B. F. Hawley was the next speaker, his subject being. "The Public Land Policy and the Future." He said that ' the reason the population of Washington exceeded that of Oregon is that Wash Ington has three distinct railroad sys terns while Oregon has practically one, and a vast portion of it has none. The large amount of lands that belong to the people, and the manner In which the domain is held up has kept away thou sands of people and -millions of dollars, he declared. He gave a review of the various grants, referring to that which reverted to the Oregon California Railroad, with the direct understanding the company was to sell it to settlers for not more than $2.50 an acre. J. V. Camp bell, of Oregon City, and Professor F. G. Young, of Eugene, spoke on industrial and economic conditions, and their re. marks were well received. At the night session an address was given by Governor Chamberlain, his sub ject being "The Cause of Progress." He said; one or the most potent factors in the progress of Oregon was the Lewis and Clark fair. He told how the lands of Eastern Oregon had been developed and said that country was becoming a paradise equal to the Willamette valley. Mr. Chamberlain forcefully referred to the railroad land grant, and said he gloried in Congressman Hawley's grit In pressing this matter In Congress. T. K. Campbell of the State Railroad Commission, made a few remarks as to transportation conditions. Louis Bargee, of Roseburg, also spoke. He discussed the development of the Coos Bay country. He said there has been great encour agement for the proposed Roseburg-Coos Bay electric line and that conditions are shaping themselves to assure the realiza tion of the plan. After other short talks the league passed the following resolu tions pertaining to additional transporta tion facilities in the Willamette Valley. Whereas, the requirements of the Wil lamette Valley demand additional railway facilities to tidewater as well as to the termlnala of the transcontinental railroads at Portland, Orgon, and: Whereas, an electric line has been ob jected from Roaehurg to Coos Bay which will give an outlet to a deep-water habor; and. Whereas, the construction of Bald line it extended throughout the Willamette- Valley would glv an outlet and facilitate the shipments of the products of one of the rlrheet valleys In the world which has heretofore been hampered by the lack of adequate transforation fadlltiea. and Whereas, the construction of aaid elec tric railroad from Coos Bay to Roseburg and from Roseburg to Portland will have an important bearing on the Industrial de velopment of the entire Western Oregon county, and Whereas, the banks of the Willamette Valley now contain a surplus of over S3. 000,000. which could be advantagreoualy placed to the betterment of the banks and the people; therefore, he it Resolved, That the Willamette Valley De velopment League in session assembled does hereby declare Itself in faver of aald pro ject and does hereby pledge the moral sup port and assistance of this League to see this object consummated at the earliest possible moment; and he It further Resolved. That we do hereby regret that the road from Drain to Coos Bay has not heen puih.d to the early completion that .the people of Oregon were lead to expect: and be It further Resolved. That a copy of these resolu . ttona he spread upon the minutes of this League and published In the public presa The League then took up the subject of Southern Pacific land and Indorsed the movement to compel Its sale, according to the terms of the original grant. The following resolutions were passed: Whereas, the Willamette Valley Develop ment League recognlxea the Importance of rendering the physical resources of the state available for development ' and the necessity of opening up to settlement and use the vacant .lands in every proper way, and, Whereas, a large body of the lands granted by Congress In the acts of 188, ISflS and 1869 to the Oregon & California Railroad Company, including therein some of the most useful of (he unoccupied lands in the state, are withheld economical in dustrial development contrary to the pro vltlur.s of the law making the grant which requires the said lands shall be sold to actual settlers st a price of not to exceed 12 SO per acre and in tracts of not to ex ceed 16) acres to each purchaser: and Whereas, the development of these Innds Is essential to ths welfare and prosperity of . the state, and especially of the coun ties In which such lands lie, by providing homes for the people and employment for capital and labor; be it Resolved. That we approve of the open ing up of these landa and Indorse the ac tion! now in progresa to enforce the terms of ths grant. We Indorse the work of Hon. 'Charles J. Bonaparte.

"W. Brooke presiding. The principal business was the election of officers, which was held dur ing the session. It ts probable that as a result of the meeting. Portland will soon have a deaconess' home and hos pital, whlcti is regarded as a very Im portant advance in local Methodism. During ' the day everything went smoothly, but It developed that this was largely because a letter from Mrs. Os mon Royal was not publicly read. It was a communication in which It Is sold that she protested against the transaction of any business at the session because she alleged the meeting was illegal. She has served as corresponding secretary of the Oregon Conference for several years, and for some reason wished the annual meeting postponed this year, which she Is said to have proceeded to order through the executive board, but the by laws leave the matter with the presi dent and the corresponding secretary. Mrs. Royal is said td have refused to af fix her signature to the call, and now sets up the claim that the meeting was Illegal. Mrs. Royal was not present at the meeting, evidently believing that her let ter would suffice. It. however, was not read In public, but was discussed some what in private. No attention was given It officially, which is regarded as a de cided turndown to Mrs. Royal. The le gality of the business transacted Is not questioned by those participating, but by Mrs. Royal and her supporters It is, and this matter will be finally passed upon by the Homej Mission Board, with headquarters at Cincinnati. No statement could be secured In answer to Mrs. Royal's claim that the meeting was illegal, except that It Is believed to be certain that she Is mistaken, and that the president, Mrs. Brooke, was entirely within her rights when she called the meeting alone, Mrs. Royal declining to Join in the call. Mrs. Royal Is said to have stood In the way of the establishing of a deaconess home and hospital In Portland, and Is said to have contrived to postpone the annual meeting to stave off the election of officers, as she Is said to have known that a concerted effort was to be made to elect officers who are favorable to the deaconess work. - The programme as planned was carried out, with the single exception of an ad dress by Miss Alrena B. Thomas, dea coness attached to the Sunnyside Meth odist Church. Owing to a lack of time,' she did not speak. Her subject was to have -been on the history , of the move ment Bhe represents. Mrs. C. W. Jones read a paper on the Stickney Home, and Rev. Mr. Hill, pastor of Taylor-tareet Church, spoke on the Women's Home Missionary work. Luncheon was served by the women of Taylor-street church. The election of officers shows that Mrs. Royal was displaced as correspond ing secretary, which gave her opponents a big victory. The officers elected are: President, Mrs. C. W. Jones, of Taylor-street church; first vice-president. Mrs. W. B. Hollingshead, of Portland; second vice-president, Mrs. A. R. Sweet ser; third vice-president, Mrs. J. C. Moreland; fourth vice-president, Mrs. Billings, of Ashland; recording secretary, Mrs. Embrle, of Hillsboro; treasurer, Mrs. L. C. Dickey, of Sunnyside church; suerlntendent national training school for deaconesses, representing the Oregon conference, Mrs. Keasy, of Portland. Mrs. Brooke, the retiring president, was unanimously asked to serve again, but was obliged to decline, because of ill health. Tacolt; Mrs. W. R. Owens, Belle Linn, Kelao; E. J. Fallmer, Jas. A.
