Advertisement May Come X.'p. Publication of an advertisement by the distributors directly charging Mr. Katz of the league with responsibility for the advance of 1 cent a quart in the price of milk on July 1, will prob ably be one of the main topics of discussion at the meeting today. Air. Katz had prepared no statement yesterday concerning the advertise ment, although he promised trouble for persons responsible for its publi cation. ., Mr. Katz stated that some of the Portland distributors denied responsi bility for its publication, while C. M. Gregory, who has been the represent ative of the milk distributors, stated that the advertisement was based on fact and that any action that Mr. Katz desired to take was causing them no worry. TWO MAY OPPOSE BAKER I)A. KELLAHEK, HERBERT GORDOX WILD RIX, REPORT. City Commissioners Mann and Bar bur to Seek Re-Iilection; Terms End July 1, 1921. second term, as announced Sunday, served to place the city political pot on the fire, l't is not expected that city politics will begin to boil until September. Mayor Baker may be opposed by two men Herbert Gordon, president of the Lawyers' Title & Trust com pany and legislator, whose friends are now circulating a petition urging him to cast his hat into the mayoralty rinp; Pan Kellaher, formerly city commissioner, will be a candidate for mayor, it is said, although Mr. Kellaher has not yet made a formal announcement. The terms of Citv Commissioners Mann and Barbur expire on July 1. 1921, and as a result two city com missioners will be chosen by the voters at the November election. Both Commissioners Mann and Bar- bur will seek re-election, having so announced informally. Dr. T. I Perkins, former city commissioner, will also be a candidate. - It is probable that there will be other candidates who will enter the race for a seat on the city council, but it is believed that the informal announcement of the three men who are now in the race will be of tre mendous aid to them in securing votes. While the commissioners' race may become interesting, it is believed that the mayoralty campaign will be the main attraction for the voters. Scores of letters, telephone and per sonal calls reached the mayor yes terday, congratulating him on his decision to seek re-election. Friends of the mayor contend that his record of service during his first term will be sufficient to gain him re-election. Mayor Baker said yesterday that he had made no plans for any cam paign and would not do so until later in the fall. "My work in the office will prob ably keep me too busy to do much campaigning," said Mayor Baker. "Just what form my campaign will take will depend entirely on future developments." EARWIGS STIR OFFICIALS COMMISSIONERS BARBUR AND MANN DEMAND ACTION. Superintendent Keyser Told to Get Busy and Eliminate Pests From Walnut Park. Demand that Park Superintendent Keyser take some immediate steps in ridding Walnut park of earwigs was made yesterday by City Commissioners Mann and .Barbur. Investigation by Commissioner Mann revealed that al though the park bureau was informed of the earwig invasion almost a week ago, no steps had been taken by the city to combat the pest. Mayor Baker had instructed Park Superintendent Keyser to begin fighting earwigs last Saturday. "I don't know what to do," said Park Superintendent Keyser. "I am investigating the situation and watch ing the efforts of individuals in the district, who are attempting to eradi cate the pest." "What would you do if the earwig worked its way into Peninsula park?" sought Commissioner Mann. "I'd take care of them, then. You don't have to worry about the parks," assured the park superintendent. "Well, we want to rid the city of the pests before they get into the parks. If you can fight them in the parks, you can find a way to fight them in Walnut park. Bring a re port to the city council Wednesday," said Commissioner Mann. Commissioner Barbur, upon learn ing that he had been assigned the park bureau in absence of Commis sioner Pier, proceeded to the office of the park superintendent and de manded some immediate action in rid ding the city of earwigs. Commis sioner Barbur will make a personal survey of the situation prior to the council meeting tomorrow: FRACTIONS COUNT UP FAST Parts ol Cents Collected for Taxes Amount to $1032.97. A half or a quarter of a cent is not usually of much value, and yet amounts no larger than these have totaled $1032.97 for Multnomah county since the first of 1918. A check for this amount, turned over to the county treasurer, John M. Lewis, yesterday by Thomas M. Hurlburt, sheriff, rep resents surplus tax collections of cur rent and delinquent taxes. The amount received in each case was less than a cent and could not be returned. These fractional amounts, accumulating for two and a half years, have reached the present total. The money will go into the general fund. Phone your want ads to The Orego nian. Main 7070, Automatic 560-95.
