There was little Kbop talk at the table, that having been attended co in the afternoon be fore the meeting. Reports of the offi cers were read and considered and .. the various committees submitted ver bal reports as to trade conditions, mar ket extension and other topics. J ;; secretary a. a. v aaieii presented a complete report o the association's wor tor tne year. The report showed ... that the year 1908 was not partic ularly brilliant, from a lumber manu facturer s point Hit view, as many se- rlous conditions had to be contended with, but it went on to state that the outlook for the year now under way is exceedingly promising. Reports re ceived by Secretary Wastell from mem bers state that the demand for lumber , In all parts of the United States is rapidly reviving and that therefore a good movement will follow as soon as the weather becomes more settled. x The inspection bureau of the associa tion, also submitted a report showing that Its work has increased In a very satisfactory way during the past year. After the close of the business meet- , Ing, the newly elected board of di rectors retired into an adjoining room nd elected the following officers: L. J Wentworth, president; G. T. Gerllnger, treasurer; A. B. Wastcll, secretary; A. O. DUon, . first 'vice, president! F. c. Knanp, .. second 'Vic , president: ' O.

All kinds of people want a job but he who knows what he wants and goes aft er it, gets it. Condensed to a sentence this is the opinion expressed by Tom Richardson, manager of the Portland Commercial club in reply to the ques tion as put by a Journal man. This opinion was confirmed In views given "by representatives from the manufac turing, wholesale and retail Industries of the city 1 place every man 1 have room ror who tells me he can do some one thing," said Julius Meier pf the firm of Meier A Frank, positively. "I act on the pre sumption that every man . is worth a chance. "When it comes to wanting a job I put myself In his place and nee readily that It is no crime to be in need of work. Chance for employment in Portland was never better. "Legitimate retail business in all lines is growing phenomenally. Every seven years of our experience has nftfessl- raiea enlargement in iioor space, equip ment and help. The addition to this store, now under way, will double our business capacity." Talks for lbattfMtaim "I don't know of any other cltv In the country that should give better op portunity for the man who wants to make something or for the skilled arti san," said L, B. VlncSnt, secretary of tne Portland Manulcturer associa tion. "The man who wantB work should know what he wants by knowing how to do It," he qualified. "In Port land there Is a demand for every kind of manufactured article. It causes the continued construction of new factories and enlargement of the old. Let the man with a trade get out and hunt for ! t job in this vlclnitv and I'll guarantee ne won i re disappointed. 'I talked not long ago with a promi nent wholesale grocer on tha subiect nf employing help, related A. M. Comp ton. office manager for the wholesale nrm or Alien Lewis. "He said: "The difficulty in securing competent office men is ao great mat i would be glad to unite with the wholesale grocers of Portland In paying the expenses of send ing a man to the east to select and brink back a carload. I could engage to take my share, pay their traveling expenses and secure their board and lodging until payday.' This was before the financial flurry. Supply' Is now Brightly In excess of demand in our business. Nevertheless, there Is al ways a place for qualified young men, The other day a man. came to me for worn said he had been employed by Chicago house during four years.- I was soon satisfied that he-was a good man. At the moment I bad no place for him but I made a place before 1 o'clock that day. and started him av a salary which will annn f. ttiOV. mA , lCA-y Hot Qualified. The excess in aupply consists f men not qualified and floaters; The man with experience, ability and loyal ty need have no fear in coming to Port land. 1 believe, too, In giving the young man who want to learn, a chance, but he must be content with a starter's salary. Some of our "best men started the ' pacKers department, i some of tne best .opportunities in Oregon are to be found now In-tlie country, raising frutis or nuts or in the smaller towns where work la to' be Jisd." Other of the things enld by Mr. Rich ardson of Uie Commercial club are val uable to the prospective resident. "I receive," he said, "hundreds of letters from people who want -td know what they can get to do If they come to Portland. I answer that jobs by mall are scarce; that personal contact works the trick, but that only the shilly-shally, wishy-washy, class unable' to succeed anywhere on God's green earth will fall even If they come to Portland on their nerve. We want poor men with ambi tion and ability, not capitalists. We'll soon be turning out more millionaires than' we know what to do with. ."We have no trouble in nlarlnir ever good engineer. Stenographers and clerks of the Al stamp are In demand. Contractors use all kinds of skilled and Unskilled labor. The need for help on the farms Is great. Fruit goes to waste every year for lack of pickers. "Oregon is the world'a greatest lum ber market, tfee world's greatest fruit '""""J. wun resources 01 many Kinds wen nignt inexhaustible.- and Portland ia the gateway by Which It la all reached. Seven people to the square mm in nime wun tremendous pos sibilities and the actual development now going on I don't want to hear It seriously said that there's no chance ir a jon in Portland or In Oregon."
