The State Board of Agriculture held
its annual meeting yesterday for the
purpose Of considering the annual re-
port to the Governor, which was read,
approved and ordered to print.
Since the last meeting of the board
two of it's most efficient and prominent
Directors have died, and one OF the
first acts on the part of the board after
converting was to adopt the following
resolutions in respect to their deceased
members:
THE LATE c. M. CHASE.
Whereas, The hand of Divine Provi-
dence has removed from this earth our
friend, fellow member and ex-President
of this State Board of Agriculture,
Charles M. Chase; and,
Whereas, In the demise of such men
as our departed friend, who has for over
a period of twenty years been an eff
Gent member of this board, the COM
munity loses a valued citizen and hon.
orable man, and one in whose friendship
there was pride. His acts throughout
his ASSOCIATION with us were prompted
solely by desire to increase the i'm
portance and value of the work of this
board. He was a public-spirited citi-
zen, ever ready to advance and pro-
mote the interests of his adopted State,
and one whose character for probity
was standard of emulation to his fell
lows. In his loss we find consolation
in the belief that the memory of his
many acts of kindness will live on
within the hearts of his friends; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That the State Board Of
Agriculture earnestly regret the death
OF our late associate, and do extend
their sympathy and sincerely condole
with the family of our lamented friend
in their great loss.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of this board,
and that an engrossed copy be sent to
the widow of our deceased friend.
THE LATE JOHN BOGGS.
Whereas, 1t has pleased Divine Prov
idence to remove from our midst our
fellow member. associate and friend,
Hon. John Boggs; and
Whereas, The State Board of Agricul-
ture keenly feels the loss of this valued
member, recognizing in his death that
the State has likewise been deprived of
-one of it's pioneer and foremost citi-
guard that opened up our great State,
and whose early occupation therein
blazed the way for successful soil work.
eFs that have followed: onerwhose heart
and hand was ever ready to advise and
aid in giving California the prominence
due her as a producing State, one who
as an agriculturist stood at the head Of
his calling. whose progressive ideas
gave opportunities for rapid advance
ment in all kinds of soil culture. As
he advanced in life his ideas kept apace
with the times, and until death stayed
his hand. the most modern thoughts &C.
cupied his mind. He was alive to pro-
gress and favored improved methods in
every line of his extensive enterprises.
He was a model man as well as re-
spectacle public official, and in his de-
mise the State not only loses a leader,
but pronounced advocate of her nat
ural resources; therefore, be it
Resolved, BY the State Board of Agri-
culture. that while we bow with humble
submission to the will of the Almighty,
We greatly mourn the loss of our de-
parted associate.
Resolved That our heartfelt SYM
