Immigration Advertising--The State Fair
Native Salmon.
In the absence of Gen II. Il. Sibley, Mr..
VIM. Lee presided, as vice president, at the
regular weekly meeting of the chamber of
commerce yesterday morning. The attend
ance was somewhat better than on the pre-
vious meeting last week.
IMMIGRATION ADVERTISING.
Aid. Pascal Smith reported from the com
mittee On immigration, respecting the prop
osition by the publisher of the -Neeo North
aoest to issue $4,000 of that serial at cost of
$500, with a special mention OF advertiser
ment therein of Minnesota. Mr.. Smith said
he had been unable to see the Governor, the
president of the State board of immigration,
upon the matter, but he had held confer
ence with the secretary, MIR. j. w. Bond,
who had entirely discountenancedt the scheme,
because he believed that the immigration
document officially issued by the board was
q Tar moro effective advertisement than any
outside publication, and $500 spent therein
would be money better spent.
This idea did not seem to meet with the
views of the chamber, and the committee
was given further time in which to consult
with Gov. Pillsbury personally.
THE STATE FAIR
gave rise to an animated conversation in
consequence of the representations by
Messrs. Finch and Ingersoll that the de-
mands for covered space exceeded the pres
ent accommodations. The talk eliminated
IN the appointment of two committees, one
to solicit subscriptions for the extension of
the present buildings, and the other to enter
into negotiations with the owners of the
driving park with the view of making the
park permanency.
MINNESOTA CULTURED SALMON
was illustrated by DIR. Sweeny's submitting
for the inspection of the chamber glass
jar containing two California salmon caught
in Sun6sh lake, Dakota county. They were
each 16119 inches in length, and weighed, one
2 lbs. 3 or, and the other lbs 2 or. The
fish were Matched in Minnesota, and were
planted y in April, 1876, thus afording in
contestible evidence that salmon are sus-
ceptible of being successfully reared in this
State.
The chamber adjourned.
