School Board Urged to Buy
Pasteurized Milk Next Term
Cafeteria Only Public Eating
Place in City Serving Raw
Milk, Official Says.

The adoption of pasturized milk for
undernourished children and for use
in Memorial cafeteria was urged in a
communication from DR.. John E.
Thompson, city veterinarian and chem
list, to the school board of district No.
Il, read at the April meeting held
Monday night.
The schools of the district and the
cafeteria are the only public institutions
and restaurants in the city serving
raw milk, DR.. Thompson pointed out.
The schools are ranked among such
public institutions as hospitals and
the cafeteria is rated as public eating
place, he stated.
The board voted to include his letter
in the minutes, which is interpreted as
giving official notice to the dairymen
of the district that his recommendation
schools is contracted for next fall
Last fall the question of approving
pasteurized milk was raised by DR..
Owen w. Parker, city health officer.
DR.. Parker pointed out that since it was
the duty of the board to obtain milk
as nearly safe as possible, pasteurized
would be better than raw. The board
discussed the milk situation at length
and decided informally that after due
notice was given milk producers, the
board would consider only the pas
teurized product. 1t was brought out
at that time only one local dairy could
fulfill this requirement.
During the present term the board
has purchased 1863 half pints daily from
Is dairymen Dr. Thompson's letter
follows:
1.-The division of sanitation of the
state board of health makes an in
quiry of progress on improvements of
municipal milk supply. The highest
rating is given municipalities on the
percentage of pasteurized milk sold.
Among public eating places, includ-
ing the school cafeteria, we have left
one restaurant on raw milk. Among
public institutions, which includes such
as schools and hospitals, we still list
the school milk for underweight
children as raw. The board should
give consideration to this item"

Ely Resorts Favored
for Visit by Governors
Conference, June 2-5
Plans Call for Luncheon
for 30 State Executives
and Newsmen.
RESORT CENTERS BID
Wide Publicity Predicted
for Area Fortunate to
Secure Visit.

Ely in all probability will be selected
as the resort city to be visited by chief
executives and others attending the
National Governors conference in Du-
luth, June to 5, according to Ray
Hoefler, secretary of the Ely Com
mercial club.
Present at the conference held in
st. Paul last week to determine the
site for the governors conclave, Hoefler
said that Ely appeared to have the
inside track but the trip here and
other details of the proposed tour of
the Arrowhead had not been definitely
decided upon.
Present plans call for luncheon for
the 80 state executives, their families,
newspapermen, and other members of
the party to be served at resort near
here. Only Eastwood and BURNSIDE
lodges could accommodate the group,
expected to number about $50 persons,
and it is believed that the visitors will
select BURNSIDE because of its nearness
to the city.
The party will come by special train
to Ely, where the luncheon will be
served, and will then go to Hibbing
for tour of the open pit mines and
a banquet, returning to Duluth in the
evening, Hoefler said, as he outlined a
tentative itinerary discussed at the
meeting.
Expense of the luncheon would have
to be borne by Ely, he said. Duluth
interests are sponsoring the conference.
The publicity value of the visit here
would be very great. Ely would be the
focal point for the governors at noon
on that particular day, and would re-
ceive publicity to properly cover the
trip that would practically blanket the
entire United States. 1t is expected
that the party would spend several
hours in this territory
A half dozen other resort centers bid
spiritedly for the luncheon engage
ment, Hoefler stated Virtually waving
the necessary money for the expenses
involved under the noses Of the con-
fereeS, they appeared to be on the out
side as the talking ended, with Ely
favored as the site.
Duluth's invitation for the confer
ence, made possible through the in
dividual efforts of Duluth business and
industry, was submitted jointly by the
Chamber of Commerce and the Min
nesota Arrowhead association. Barley

gave a very decided uplift to business
hopes and the stock market when it

charts designed to make its under
standing easy. This report has been
sent to each of the corporations 224,000
employees and its stockholders who,
without the aid of expert accountants,
can get clear idea of how the business
functions and in the reports own
words, How the Corporation Earned
It's Living" Such reports as these take
the wind out of the sails of the cor

tension of time. December 26, 1910,
is the deadline. Non-citizens who
do not register on or before that
date will on the morning Of Decem-
Der 27 be subject to the severe pen
alties set forth in the Registration
Act.
About Illegal Status.
But do not wish to speak tonight
of penalties. There are even more
important reasons than avoidance
of fines and imprisonment why non
citizens should be sure to register.
I know that in our listening audi
ence tonight are many who In one
capacity or another carry the re-
sponsibility of advising with nom
citizens. I am equally aware that
illegal status in this country presents
one of the most difficult remaining
problems. Let us discuss it for q
moment, frankly and openly.
Even under existing congressional
legislation there are possibilities
that many non-citiZens whose only
offense is that Of illegal entry, or
over-stay of legal entry. may have
their cases considered on their indi-
vidual merits and just and satis-
factory determination made of them
Not only may the status of some be
legalized in accordance with estab-
ished procedure, but the Alien Reg
istration Act of 1910 itself has intro
duced long-sought improvement
Of our immigration laws, in that
discretionary powers are vested in
the Attorney General to suspend de-
portation proceedings in some in
stances. ask all of you to consider
with me: Is it likely that such
discretionary power will be exercised
to aid one who has failed to comply
with the requirements Of the regis
tration law? 1t appears to me to be
self evident that those who fail to
register need expect to receive no
further consideration.
There are, then, ways and means
Of legalizing and making perma-
nent the status of many illegally
resident citizens whose pres
ence in this country is not undesir-
able, but it should be pointed out
plainly that failure to register will
seriously prejudice those possibili-
ties. After December 26, 1910, evi-
dence of compliance with the regis
trattop law will furthermore be re-
quired in connection with each of
the steps of the naturalization
process.
In the event of further remedial
legislation to aid those non-citizens
in our midst. whose cases are de-
serving and whose loyalty is beyond
question, is it likely that the benefits
of such possible beneficence will be
accorded those who permit their
fears or hesitancy to keen them from
