HANDS IT TO THE GOVERNOR
Board Of Control Middle Passed Up
to the Executive.

St. Paul, March 1.-THE records
of the proceedings which have resulted
in the present friction between the
members of the state board of control
will be turned over to Governor John
son. putting it up to that official to
straighten out the matter. just what
action was taken at the board meet
ing yesterday was not given out, but
Governor Johnson said later that he
understood the records would be certi-
fled up to him. Further than that he
was not prepared to say anything as he
had not yet received the records.
The members of the board We're not
inclined to discuss the days proceed
ings. L. A. Rosing held conference
with the governor at the close of the
meeting. 1t was reported that res
olution on the subject of the contro-
versy was adopted by the majority of
the board, but just what it provided
was not disclosed. 1t was also report
ord of previous meeting of the board
when the question of calling for new
bids providing for fireproof construc-
ton for the model schools at the Moor
head and Mankato normals. was under
discussion, were expunged from the
records.
The cause of the present trouble
among the members of the board is
the publications of the proceedings of
the board when the fireproof construc-
ton for the model schools was being
discussed together with an opinion of
the attorney generals office on the
subject, as well as one from C. H.
Johnston, the architect for the board
in which he stated that he would not
have approved the plans for these
schools If the final responsibility had
been placed on his shoulders. Mr..
Ringdal and Mr.. Rosing insist that
their first knowledge of the existence
of these letters was their publication
and they feel their publication under
such circumstances was not proper.
They blame Mr.. Leavett for getting
the opinions and for making the mat
| ter public. Mr.. Leavett has insisted
on fireproof construction for the new
buildings at the normal schools, but
he had been outvoted by the other
members.

Grom THURSDAYS. Daily.
j. j. Mcclure, trustee for the Lake
Crystalg Milling company, sold the
mill company's property at public auc-
ton at two o'clock this afternoon
There were two bidders, the C. s.
Christensen company of Madelia and
G. f. Austin of Lake Crystal. Mr.
Austin bid up to $1,000, but the
c. S. Christensen company bid $l2,-
600 and secured the mill at that figure.
This includes the village electric light
ing plants, etc, but not the personal
property.
The personal property was sold to
G. f. Austin at $500. Both sales
are subject to confirmation by Referee
Flittie, and Mr.. Mcclure will come to
Mankato tomorrow to present report
to Mr.. Flittie. If the sale is con-
frmed, the new owners will take
possession at once and the mill will
be operated without intermissiOn in
all probability.
A sale of the property was held
several weeks ago, but the mill brought
only $4,000 and Mr.. Mcclure thought
that he could do better, and in this
he was not disappointed. The extra
$1,000 will make noise like joy
fulness for the stockholders.

BUTTERMAKERS AT ST. PAUL
National Meeting Opened Yesterday,
Gov. johnson Speaks.

The NATIONAL ButtermakerS, aSSOci-
alton is holding its annual meeting
in st. Paul, and upwards of two
thousand are present
Today Governor Johnson addressed
them in an address of welcome. He
said in part:
Minnesota, had already in opera
ton 025 creameries, and was able to
record an annual butter output worth
not less than $4,000, OOO-more than
$40 for each resident of the state"
The work of the buttermakers was a
benefit not only to the nation but to
humanity in general.
In his response to the governor and
the controller, Fl. J. Nietert of Walker,
Ia, speaking for the association, point
ed out that, if the dairy interests of
Minnesota were vast, the mining inter-
ests offered a powerful competition.
This state, he said, produces one
third of all the iron produced in the
United States, and provides one-third
of the entire production throughout
the world. But the dairy products of
the country had come to represent a
wonderful wealth-more than $S00,000,
900 every year.
That total was augmented by Pres
ident Farrell. In the course of his in
formal address he said that the dairy
products of the nation were now val
ned at $9OOOOO,OOO.
Mr. Farrell praised the enterprise
and hospitality of the city's ruddy-
| faced patron, whose halo was recog-
nized from afar, by every stranger, as
q sign of welcome like the statute of
liberty in New York harbor.
During the last fifteen years, Mr..
Farrell said, the buttermakers' asso-
station had been instrumental in get
| ting upon the American market better
butter than had ever been sold there
before.
! The association had 1000 members
| in good standing. but it should have
many more. Something must be offer
ed to attract and to hold new men,
bers.
Then Mr.. Farrell made the impor-
tant proposal that the association
should be recognized, in order that,
without abandoning its present activi-
tiles, it might become a fraternal, ben
'evolent association.
