i-Senator and ex-Member of City
Commission Declares State
ment Will Be Made.
Dan Kellaher. ex-member of the
tate senate and later a member of
the city commission, yesterday filed
rominating petitions for mayor with
City Auditor Funk.
Mr. Kellaher did not Issue ft formal
statement announcing his candidacy,
but said that it would be presented to
the voters within a few days. When
pressed for some iUea of the platform
he would use in his campaign Mr.
Kellaher stated that this would come
when the "fireworks" began.
Filing of the nominating petitions
by Mr. Kellaher placed four men in
the race for the office of chief execu
tive of this city.
They are Mayor Baker. Herbert
Gordon, Mr. Kellaher and Norman S.
Richards.
Kellaher la City Conncll.
Among those who cigned petitions
for Mr. Kellaher's entrance into the
mayoralty campaign were Henry 13.
McGinn. W. S. U'Ren, Thomas Mannix,
W. II. Fitzgerald, deputy labor com
missioner of the state of Oregon, and
P. J. Hanley. an employment agent.
A large number of the signers are
either owners or employes of the em
ployment agencies in the north end
of the city.
Mr. Kellaher was appointed to a
seat in the city council to succeed
George L. Baker, when he was elected
mayor. Mr. Kellaher was a candidate
for commissioner in this election and
was the highest man in the losers' list.
He was succeeded by Dr. T. L. Perk
ins, who is now a candidate for city
commissioner, antf who served for a
Fhort term which covered the period
between the time that S. C. Pier was
elected as city commissioner and the
time that he qualified.
Kellaher Fifth (s for Seat.
Mr. Kellaher was not content with
the verdict of the voters on this oc
casion and used various methods, in
cluding a suit in the courts which
proved" unsuccessful in an effort to
hold his seat on the city commission.
For more than two months he at
tended all meetings of the city coun.
cil with Dr. Perkins and the votes
of both men were recorded on all
business.
During the last year or so- Mr.
Kellaher has been employed as sec
retary of the employment bureau of
the Knights of Columbus and has
also been in charge of the sale of
bonds issued by the "Irish Republic"
In the Portland district.

and interest by repelling his advances.
He gives her his card, telling her sig
nificantly that he can be found there,
if she ever needs him.
She scornfully puts away the card,
firmly resolving that nothing will in
duce her to accept his offer, but some
time later, her lover falls sick, and
frets because he cannot fulfill his am
bition to relieve the suffering of the
poor. She realizes that his worry
must be alleviated, or he will not re
cover and decides to sacrifice herself
so that he may live.
Stanhope gives her the key to his
apartment.
At 8 that evening she comes to the
Stanhope apartment, and on opening

"The Old Swimming Hole," immor

to be Charles Ray's next picture. Con
siderable acreage, with a river, has
been leased, and the carpenters are
busy bringing to li-fe the water mill,
and other structures depicted in this
poetic gem by the Hoosier poet. No
expense will be spared by Ray's pro
ducers In duplicating the exact locale
made famous by the author.
Seena Owen, who has one of the
principal roles in "Lavender and Old

"Yes. but do you know why?" asked
the film star.
"No."

The present high cost of eggs means
nothing in the life of Tom Santchl,
whoSe diversion, and a profitable one,
is raising chickens. He has several

200 eggs a day. With eggs retailing
at 7 cents each one can readily see
where each cluck-cluck means cash-cash.
PRODUCTION IS LOW
GEORGE WALSH works eo fast In
"Sink or Swim," the ' production
which will open today at the
Peoples theater, that eeveral titled
conspirators never eeem to be able
to get their plots against a princess
well under way.
"Sink or Swim" Is said to be a
whirlwind play, and Walsh, according
to pre-viewers, keeps the action going
so fast that before his big audiences
were finished laughing at one incident
they were howling at another. Walsh,
as Dick Mason, is the son of a rich
mar. and therefore shuns work; but
bis father believes if he sends Dick to
Europe to take care of a cattle con
cession the youngster will come back
a "regular" man.
Well, George does come back a reg
ular man and in addition a married
one; for he finds a princess in dis
tress. Madge Kennedy's latest picture,
which will follow "Sink or Swim,",
coming to the Peoples theater on
Wednesday, is "Dollars and Sense," a
screen version of the Saturday Eve
ning Post story by Octavus Roy
Cohen. Miss Kennedy plays the part
of Hazel Farron, a chorus girl who Is
ambitious to become a Broadway fa
vorite. Through her friend. Daisy Van Ness,
another chorus girl, ehe meets a

X. J. TTpham Sams Up Situation in
Realty Circles at Meeting
of Local Board.
"In spite of occasional ' brief reac
tions, building costs cannot commence
to decline permanently for several
years, and when the permanent de
cline starts it will be gradual and
slow for 13 years or more, notwith
standing that meanwhile most other
commodities will have ehown a heavy
decline."
Thus did N. J. Upham of Duluth.
president of the International Realty
associates, sura up the building situa
tion yesterday noon in speaking be
fore the Portland Realty board, at the
regular weekly luncheon and meet
ing. Mr. Upham, whose company
owns and has developed Westover
terraces here, is In Portland on a
business visit.
"The public has persistently be
lieved," said Mr. Upham, who was the
principal speaker, "that building costs
would decline, yet until the present
moment they have seen prices go
higher and higher. Last year's ad
vance was caused on less than a
normal year'e construction. We must
soon build a normal year's construc
tion and soon start to overtake de
layed construction. If In 1921 we
build 100 per cent what will happen?
When we start to overtake the con
struction shortage and build 50 per
cent above normal each year it will
take fully six years to overtake the
shortage,"
Building- Now Profitable.
In spite of the fact that construc
tion will continue high and will
gradually decrease in his opinion, Mr.
Upham declared that building at thl
ime would be a profitable investment
because of the tremendous shortage
of houses. Regarding real estate
activity the speaker said:
'Real estate activity has tempo
rarily been retarded by restriction of
bank credit and the reluctance of
people to believe in continued high
building costs. Both influences will
gradually disappear. Already the
signs indicate real estate activity in
our cities. Investigation shows that
there has been a substantial ad
vance in business property in most
of our cities and very sharp advances
In houses. In about 10 per cent of
our cities an advance has already
occurred in vacant residence lots.
The public is beginning to realize
that for seven years real estate has
shown no advance while other com
modities have doubled or trebled. The
buying movement will steadily in
crease and I believe will soon reach
Portland."
A report on the recent meeting at
Denver was rendered by Fred H.
Strong, and the prize cup for the
speaking contest of the Interstate
Realty association recently at Spo
kane was presented to W. H. Ross of
this city, winner, who in turn pre
sented It to the Portland Realty board
for keeping. E. J. Daly acted as
chairman of the day.
