typed and furnished to the members at
cost. We believe that 1t Is desirable
that supplementary to such lists as can
be secured from local sources that lists
OF names registered at the State Board
of Trade, or lists Of people secured from
other sources, be sent by the league
from time to time to members OF the
league, and that copies Of the papers
containing matter suitable for use
among possible home-seekers be sent
out
"Sixth-We urge that members secure
from local sources lists Of names OF
Eastern people to whom papers IN
such amounts as suits the IDEAS
of the publishers be sent gratul-
tously: We recommend that from
time to time the lists OF names
secured from local sources be exchanged
through the Executive Committee or
otherwise. We urge that all members
of the league make an effort to secure
from local subscribers subscriptions to
be sent East, and urge that specially
low rate be made on all such subscrip-
lions.
"Seventh-We are Of the opinion that
suitable houses should be prepared for
the reception of home-seekers at diff
ferent points in the valley, particularly
at sacramento, where they may find an
economical temporary home during the
period they are seeking a location. We
do not see method at present by which
the league may undertake this, but urge
upon all the members that they further,
by all the means in their power, the con-
struction Of such buildings, and at least
one in Sacramento.
"Eighth-We urge that constant at
tention be paid to local conditions, such
as climate, crops, illustrations Of profits
made in agriculture, not that 1t has so
much value locally as it does to the
Eastern reader, who may be interested
in California through this Instrumental
ity."
A resolution was adopted that the
Chairman of the Executive Commit
tee extend personal invitation to Ster-
ling Morton, Secretary of Agriculture.

ularly at Chico and vicinity.

place for the next semi-annual meet
