powered to make arrangements with railroads
| for reductions of fares. The motion was car
| ried.
Mr.. knight next stated that it was impos-
| sible to anticipate all the wants of the score
some one to draw the money and pay the bills,
he would therefore move that the Governor be
empowered to draw the money, pay the bills,
| and purchase stationery and other necessaries.
The motion was put and carried.
WANTS TO GET ADVERTISEMENTS.
Mr.. Anderson appeared before the board
and stated that he though it advisable
to get large firms to advertise in
the pamphlet. In this way the pamphlet would
not only cost nothing, but be source OF IN
come. He was very sure he could get some
two or three thousand dollars, with adVer-
tisements at $4OO per page.
Governor Pillsbury objected to having mis-
cellaneous advertisements IN such WORK: ne
had no objections to advertisements OF rail-
road companies and others having lands 1o5
sale. After some discussion it was decided
that three or four pages, at the end OF the
pamphlet, be devoted to land advertisements,
and the secretary was instructed to solicit them
of the railroad companies.
More talk was here INDUCED in respecting
literary secretary to write all he knew or could
collect, and then prune down to the desired
limits.
Mr.. Huntington said the map re-
quired some consideration. 1t should
be clear and accurate map Of the State, with
the land offices marked and government and
railroad lands distinguished from each other.
The pamphlet was again discussed. after a
little lull, and it was decided that it should be
submitted to the board before printed.
AMAN WITH FREE PASS.
Mr.. Anderson asked by the Governor to
stats what he knew about railroad fares. In
reply, he said that he had free pass on some
of the lines, and he thought if the board would
send him East and pay his expenses-he did
not want more than 300 out Of the $5, 600
he could go to New York and do good deal.
The board however, did not seem anxious to
embrace the liberal offer and part with the
300.
Mr.. Knight thought the whole matter might
be left to the Governor and the secretary.
COOPERATION OF RAILROADS
Mr.. Huntington did not think the board
should spend too much money. He also
thought it advisable to ask the cooperation of
railroad companies in getting up the pamphlet.
The Governor explained that the railroad
companies preferred to spend their own money
in their own way, but they no doubt would act
with the board in any other way.
Mr.. Huntington then offered the following:
RESOLVED, That the respective railroad man
ayers of Minnesota be invited to come before
the board and give their views upon the sub
ject of Immigration and to assist the board in
adopting cooperative measures for securing
| immigrants.
Motion carried.
Mr.. Huntington thought it would be
good to have collection of cereals to show.
WANTS TO GO ABROAD.
MI. Hasberg appeared before the board and
stated that he was going to Europe,
he had much to do with emigration under
Governor MarshalTs administration and also
under Governor Austin. Thought he could do
much in Liverpool and Norway, and was will
ling to stop in Liverpool to distribute pamph-
let's for very small compensation-he knew
where to find emigrants in Liverpool. It was
sending pamphlets without some one to
distribute them; man who could tell the
people about the State, would be better
than any number of pamphlets. He
had pamphlet-l5,0 900 copies in Nor
wegian, which he would be willing to dis
tribute. His pamphlet was as good as any
pamphlet the secretary could get up. All he
expenses to Norway. He submitted his pamph-
let to the board, it was printed in 1871.
Mr.. Peterson said the great trouble was the
board had but little money.
Gov. Pillsbury said the board did not feel
justified in spending any money in trying to
| influence foreign immigration, What they had
would only go little way in reaching people
| of the Eastern States. 80
The pamphlet submitted by Mr.. Hasberg was
taken under consideration by the board to act
upon il at the next meeting.
| 1t was then resolved to changed that part Of
of Mr.. huntingdon resolution SO as to omit
the clause providing for the translation of the
| secretary & Damnhlet into Scandnivan and Ter
| man.
Mt. Huntington moved that the secretary
compute the expense of the work already
ordered and report at the next meeting. Car
| ried.
| SALARY OF THE SECRETARY.
! The question of the secretary's salary was
then introduced, when Mr.. Knight proposed
that the matter stand over till next meeting
| and if the board then had hundred dollars
left they would give it to the secretary. The
meeting then adjourned till Thursday next al
| 2 o'clock.
