Thirteenth ward Sennnfl South J W Thompson Wasatch 209 South Main street A motion to adopt the report as a whole brought Waterman to his feet and Waterman Water-man innocently enough puthis footinto the ice by saying that he was not present at the last meeting and that it appeared to him like a put up jobl This raised Tan Bus Kirk who jumped on Waterman with both feet and backed the up labors of the committee com-mittee in a speech that had bristles on it It is my business ho said to attend all the meetings of the exchange or shut up I upWilliam Fuller set another storm brew ing by saying that the report struck him as rejecting on the old board and suggested that while they had such men as Conklinir Hardy and Lynch it was not exactly the I right thing to pick up the newcomers to the I exclusion of the old citizens I Mr Lett said he would like very much to I have other nominations and that he neither sought the nomination nor had he desire or purpose in it ana would ho very grateful to have any other person elected gratfulj I Mr Brown explained how the committee I had raked and scraped the city for a suitable suit-able person and after canvassing the merits of all the real estate men had found that Mr Lett was the unanimous choice He paid a glowing tribute t the nominee which was greeted with much applause 11 Barrett said that the committee had done it utmost to secure the best men for I the places but that there Wero not offices l i enough firms t give a place t all tho deserving i Mr Jack became so indignant over the squabble that he moved to lay his own report re-port on the table but failed t got a second Mr Coupling was nominated by Mr Ful ler but declined the distinguished honor after which Mr Lett was unanimously elected He was called for a speech and responded a follows PRESIDENT LETTS SPEECH Gentlemen of the Sal Lake Real Instate Exchange Ex-change I thank you for this expression of your confi dence I am aware this organization is made up of the best talent of th city menwho are the 1 t peers of any In the land To preside over such I I a body I shall feel justly proud J had hoped I this committee would select a mini to fill this place with an acquaintance more extensive and a wider knowledge of the needs of such an organization In accepting this honored position I fully realize the momentous responsibility resting on me and how utterly futile my best efforts will prove winout the hearty cooperation of each and every member of this compact I On the other hand to some extent I understand under-stand what can be accomplished by your earnest earn-est support We can by united effort make this city what nature has intended it should become the garden gar-den of Utah the very Eden of America I time die but permit there arc many things I would like to sugijubt lor our consideration But let me say njHit here Wo who have come to Salt Lake to stay and planted our last kernel ker-nel of corn hoping some day to gather a rich harvest must not expect from the mere arrang log commissions or arbitrating a few disputes dis-putes hich may arise between members of this exchange that theo will fill your garners I you think it will be at once undeceived for i these arc only auxiliaries to the accomplishment of a great end We must unite our efforts sons to build from the foundation and look after things which pertain per-tain country to the material interests of th is city and We cannot afford to be narrow minded but join hands with every enterprise calculated to advance Salt Lake city and the territory of Utah Our little sister Ogden God bless her lot her put on a long dress as soon as she can and I old maid sister Provo let her put on a bustle I and spread herself Nephi luab and all the towns in tho fruit and agricultural districts of tho plains let us speak a cheering word for them Park City Bingham and tho mining towns and camps of the mountains let us reach out both hands and bear them up for theyare to be the great Corlifas engine which will eventually event-ually propel the machinery of this great corning corn-ing commonwealth Encourage tho stone industry for in these mountains and foot his there is untold wealth sandstone granite and marble of a superior quality salt enough to pickle tho earth and asphaltum America sutllcicnt to pave every city in Last but not to be ignored his Satanic majesty maj-esty has not got a corner on brimstone for we have solid mountains of it so that in an emergency emer-gency we can raise a little hell of our own Wo need at this time 1000 dwelling houses and scores of placcb for business Let us encourage en-courage individual as well as building associations associa-tions There is a time gentlemen when speculative specu-lative prices on real estate seem to cease and latve Ieem the question comes what will It pay When we fully comprehend the full importance import-ance of this exchange and see what combined effort can do wo will bless the day of this organization or-ganization our pathway and posterity will strew flowers in In conclusion let me again thank you promising prom-ising to do all in my power with your assistance assist-ance to make this organization a success Without your earnest help I will surely fall lh It < i nn When Van Buskirk was named for vice president Mr Fuller nominated Mr Hardy hut Harvey Hardy had no inclination inclina-tion to accept the honors and declined after which VanBuskirk was unanimously elected t VicePresident Buskirk being called on for a speech opened up with these trenchant trench-ant words 1 came here and brought my credentials with me I will pledge you this I will try to bring no reproach on this organization Judge Lynch vas elected treasurer without with-out opposition and when asked for aspeech in a jocular vein simply said I will try to be honest The rest of the nominations were adopted with a rush During the discussion Mr Miller made D personal allusion to Mr Puller that was full of the explosive material but he yielded gracefully to allow everything to go and everybody to have full swing Mr McAllister poured oil on the troubled waters by saying Im an oldtimer I wish to say that if it wasnt for the newcomers I I new-comers we would be wherewowere twenty years ago The matter of securing a room for the meetings of the exchange was left to the executive committee There was just enough opposition to the report of the committee to guarantee that no omnibus measures rushed through the exchange The officers elected will greatly strengthen the exchange in the favor of the real estate men and secure at least a hundred members mem-bers The Jumbo Gold Company Tho articles of incorporation of the Jumbo Gold company were filed with Secretary Sells yesterday The
