CHAMPION FTAPJACK EATER.
Valdimore Larsen, Portland Ranch
Hand, Claims the Belt.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 4-Comes now
the champion flapjack eater of the
world, or one who lays claim to the
title, and he has a hacker who issues
def to anyone on earth to Guido
him.
Valdimore Larsen, ranch hand
near Antelope, eastern Oregon, is the
man with the seemingly Unsuitable ap-
petite for the steaming hot cake. One
night after supper recently, converse
ton among the men at the Brogan
ranch, where Larsen is employed,
turned to what they would like for
breakfast. Larsen declared for hot
cakes, and lots of them.
Mrs. Brogan asked him how many
he would like, and he thought twenty
would be about right for light
breakfast. Now Mrs Brogan's hot
cakes are full mans size and Tom
kenney knew that twenty of them
would be as big as a large saddle
blanket, so he offered to bet SIS that
Larsen couldn't do the stunt Larsen
covered the money.
Next morning at breakfast Larsen
ate twenty-five and remarked that he
could easily eat more if he wanted to
show off, but he did not care for a
heavy breakfast that morning.
Kenny observed the ease with
which the victor absorbed the hot
cakes and stated later he believed
Larsen could eat seventy-five or a hun
dred flapjacks any time they were in
sight. He stands ready to back Lar
sen as the champion hapjack eater of
the world

HAS A HARD JOB.
Assessment of Inheritance Tax No
Small Matter.

It was showing outside, but it was
not the storm that brought the heavy
frown to the brow of Sam T. Howe
of the state tax commission this morn
ing. It was little matter of deter
mining the exact amount of the in
heritance tax that should be assessed
against a certain estate.
He had in front of him a bundle of
papers as bulky as the testimony in
Standard Oil custer suit and these pa
pers embraced every style of manu-
script known to man. There were
typewriter letters and letters written
by pen and by pencil. There were
sheets of figures, copy OF Will, tax
assessments, longhand notes and tables
of personal property and descriptions
of real estate.
The county assessor had placed the
total of the estate at one figure, the
Howe had just reached total that
differed to the amount of about $1O,-
900 from either of the other totals.
Eyes, it is pretty intricate work, "
he admitted to the reporter. THE
man who made this will knew what
he wanted, but he did not know how
to tell what he wanted in such shape
that it would read clearly when set
forth by some lawyer who had lot
of legal phrases and intricacies in his
system awaiting escape at the earnest
opportunity.
''The tax assessor, the administra-
tor, the probate judge and the writer
of the will must agree in their totals
and in the details that go to make
these totals in order for US to have an
easy time in making the inheritance
tax. But they never do" Here Mr.
Howe breathed a sigh.
'"Then the law provides for diff
ferent rate of assessment for each OF
the different classes of beneficiaries.
The subdivisions of property must be
submitted to different degrees of oper-
alton for taxable purposes. This
work required to levy a just and equit-
able inheritance tax against it would
test the energy and ability of a Judge
of the court of common pleas. to say
nothing of a simple and unsuspecting
member of the state tax commission

NO POLITICS IN TT.
Miller Discusses Turning
Down of Fulton.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The statement made that the coun-
cilmen who voted against the con-
firmation of City Engineer Fulton are
playing politics is absurd.
The fact that Mayor Green ap-
tee was selected to investigate certain
charges preferred by former City En-
gineer Rogers shows that there must
have been an understanding that Mr..
Fulton was to take the place of Mr..
Rogers regardless of the result of the
investigation which brought out GER
tain facts, in addition to other con-
of the councilmen that new man
at the helm" was needed in the city
engineers office.
That affairs in the said office were
in bad shape was known to the mayor
for some time and it would be foolish
to assert that "alI'' of them are to be
traced to Mr.. Rogers.
Suffice 1t to say that the only mo-
tive of the councilmen who voted
against the confirmation of Mr.. Full
ton is, that a first class, competent
man is needed in the engineers office
to take charge and put things in prop
er shape. It has always been source
of qualification to the Democratic
members that politics played little if
any part in the deliberations of the
council and that the treatment ac-
corded them has always been fair
and just. Their actions I think, will
show appreciation of the fact.
Three Democrats and two Repub-
licans voted against the confirmation
and the charge of party politics
therefore is absurd. 1 can say for
myself and my Democratic colleagues
that we will, as we have heretofore
done, always stand with the mayor
