A crowded audience attended*the
evening exercises at .Akers Opera

was the admirable address bf Mr.
Umburger, of the Government Ex

great interest to the farmers of the
Inland Empire, more particularly
of Sherman, county, where the sta

Wm. Bid well Wells, of the Union
Pacific Railway System, in a brief
manner gave some very strong
points on the subject of publicity.
The people of Wasco are thanked
for their generous entertainment of
