1 l This ticket was placed in tho field
by the nominating cnminitiee several
days ago and It is said that this will
be an exceptionally strong board, every
member being prominently and actively
engaged in the industry which the as
sociation represents.
.The meeting had brought a large num
ber of out of town lumber manufactur
i m to the city, and last evening they
: .Joined in an elaborate banquet , at
- the Commercial Club. 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.

result of the election was announced at
the banquet.

What's the chance for a job In Port
land? Good If a man can -deliver the goods.
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."
