Shull, Fred Hayne;, Kent. Finance Committee: L. Barnum, Moro; Roy C. Atwood, Wasco; Col. C. A. Buckley, Sam Baker, Grass Valley; J. J. Wiley, Kent. A large amount of business was transacted, looking forward to re newed interest, and The League starts in with i s new officers re solved to keep alive the public in terest and the splendid record of their predecessors. A crowded audience attended*the evening exercises at .Akers Opera house, the notable feature of which was the admirable address bf Mr. Umburger, of the Government Ex periment station, a subject of very great interest to the farmers of the Inland Empire, more particularly of Sherman, county, where the sta tion has been located.

The people of Wasco are thanked for their generous entertainment of League members from other points in the county, which was very great ly appreciated. .
