More Pamphlets Wanted-i Financial
Statement of the Board.
An adjourned meeting OF the board of i'm
migration was held yesterday morning at
the capitol. There were present Albert
Knight, R. G. Huntington, August Peterson,
DIR. j. p. Corcoran, Theodore Holton and
Gov. Pillsbury. A letter was read from F.
Won Baumback explaining his absence.
The question of publishing 10000 more
copies of the pamphlet was discussed, and
ultimately it was agreed to print 5000 with
out covers for the Chicago & North
western railroad company on the terms
otfered-the company to pay for actual cost
of pamphlet. The secretary showed that be-
fore January next the whole issue of 10000
will be disposed of. He has now laid by up
wards of 400 inquiries for pamphlets that he
has been unable to satisfy.
Mr.. Peterson suggested transiating the
pamphlet into Swedish, Norwegian and Ger
man, and issuing $4,000 in each language.
Messrs. Holton aad Huntington favored
the idea, but it was thought inexpedient to
do it till next year. Meantime the secretary
was instructed to inquire the cost of the
transiating and printing $4,000 in each of
those languages.
Tie secretary submitted the following
