Misfortune befell Edward F. Trefz. field secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, when he arrived In Portland Wednesday for a Isit to the local chamber. He had lost his voice. Doctors diagnosed his ailment yesterday as paralysis of the throat and so he .was unable to .ad dress the chamber's membership at the luncheon arranged for him at noon in the Commercial club rooms- .z Ills 'message -would haver Men en couraging had ;it been delivered. "Time are getting better," whis pered the visitor this morning. "All through the east I have found; this true, - It is true out here, at Spokane, Seattle Sand Tacoma. The recent pur chasing of wheat for Europe In Ore gon and Washington is one of the best crlterlons. Europe has to buy. We have plenty to sell. The answer is right on the surface. "But aside from this European movement, indications point to better things. Manufacturers are getting started on commodities that we al ways have looked to Europe : to pro duce. Inquiry for such manufactured goods is strong, of itself an indication of Improving times. - "If we can sell -the enormous cotton crop of the south, it will mean more than the selling of the wheat crop ol the northwest, because Germany has been among our most extensive buyers." Intimates Dairyman Has Been Persecuted John trpp Said to Hare Been Accused After H Had Bess, round Hot Guilty in Court. V In behalf of John Upp, a dairyman Who was accused of selling a cow that had been quarantined on account of tuberculosis. . E. II. Marvin, 1743 Van couver avenue, has Issued a statement intimating that Upp has been per secuted by the Inspectors. During August Cpp was tried before Judge Dayton and found guilty of sell ing a cow that had been quarantined March 27. Marvin relates that Upfl then appealed the case in Judge Morrow's court and was found not guilty. He presented two certificates of inspection by Washington dairy in spectors giving the cow a clean bill of health. Marvin quotes also the state ment of A, W. Blackwell, United States inspector, who tested the cow and found she did not react. He then says that State "Veterinarian Lytle served notice of quarantine on Upp, March 29, dating the notice, March 27, and cer tifying that on that date he had ex amined the cow and found her infected when on the stand he swore he had never seen the cow. After Upp had been found not guilty. Lytle on Sep tember 18. again served quarantine papers on Upp. This, declares Marvin, looks like persecution rather than prosecution. - The Ad club referred to Its commit tee on resolutions Wednesday, a pro posal that the club submit to the leg islature a bill giving Multnomah coun ty authority to build a road la Clack amas county. Under such a law this county could build the Mount Hood road. The road would unlock the scenic gold mine of the famous mountain to thousands of tourists, as well as to the people of Oregon and the north west. The proposal was submitted by 8. S. Hewitt, chairman of the club's good roads committee, and the preliminary vote of reference to the resolutions committee was favorable. "The Mount Hood country has well been called an inspiration," said Hew itt in addressing the club. "The key to the door of any country Is a road and for seven years one man has strug gled, almost single handed, to forge the road key that will open this rich scenic district. "This man has spent thousands of dollars in grading, bridge building and has been untiring and absolutely un selfish in his effort It is almost un necessary to state that I refer to E. Henry Wemme." The club applauded the mention of the name of the man known as the "lather of the Mount Hood Road." The resolution presented by Mr. Hewitt pledged the club to support a road 24 feet ln width, with no grade to exceed 6 per cent, and authorized the appointment of a legal committee to draft a law giving Multnomah coun ty the right, under state supervision, to build those portions of the Mount Hood road which would be within Clackamas county. Two concluding paragraphs of the resolution were: "Be it further resolved, that all citi zens, chibs, organisations and publlca tios be "asked to lend their active sup port and cooperation ln the further, ance of this plan, and "That should it be necessary to raise a fund for the initial prosecution of the plan, the Portland Ad club as in dividuals will contribute to the fund and thus, by their action, cause other public spirited citlrens to lend their financial aid.".
