President Guy Talbot, of the Port

this morning that the company has
30wl more customers than it had in
Heptember of last year. Three
thousand and twenty-three more me

have been installed.
Two thousand five hundred and
thirty-five more gas ranges have
been sold by the company this. year.
This, said Mr. Talbot, does not at all
Indicate the total number of, gas
ranges sold In Portland for depart
merit stores, installment houses and
others sell gas ranges. The company
has sold 1000 more gas appliances -already
this year than it did last year.
Seventy-five miles of new mains
have been laid in Portland and Mult
nomah county to take care of exten
sions. "There has been considerable In
crease in the consumption of gas,"
said Mr. Talbot
v "After the war situation is out of
the way we expect to make other
larger extensions.
"We are decidedly optimistic. The
gains of UUs year will not compare,
we think, with the gains . to be re
ported next year. We believe that a
conservative policy, even,' suggests
preparation to handle large Increases
in numbers of gas consumers ami,
consequently, greater demand -for , gas
supply." '

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.".
