' One hour after he had! taken posses sion, of a small cigar store at 135 North Tenth street, Charles Babcock paid $3.33 to a man claiming to be a personal tax collector in jthe employ of Sheriff Tom Word. Five; minutes later he realized that he had been swindled. Babcock bought the store at the cor. ner of Tenth and Hoyt street at noon last Saturday. At 1 o'clock a young man with dark complexion, smooth face and dressed in a brown suit and a black derby hat, entered the store and asked how much Babcock had paid for It. Babcock refused to answer, whereupon the young man arbitrarily placed a value. of $500 ion the store and after some- figuring announced ASSESSOR PREPARES T BLANKS FOR REAL PROPERTY mew Law Requires Each to Report His Holdings and True Cash Values. ness value such as the past.

Just r.mw this order will affect the enter tainments now given in grills is a UUPNtion for there is some doubt as to what a cabaret show really is.

Keed has pre pared blank forms for use in connec tion with the law passed by the last legislature requiring all owners or land to make annual report to the assessor of their holdings with the true cash value of each parcel, the improvement to be valued separately. These blanks are designated as forms "A" and "B," the former for use In describing and valuing city property and the latter for cultivated and uncultivated rural lands. The first section of the law requir ing property owners to list and assess their own holdings reads as follows: Section 3591. Everv assessor shall require any person liable to be taxed in his county and to be assessed by mm, and tne managing agent or of ficer of any firm, corporation or asso ciation liable to be taxed in his county and to be assessed by him. to furnish such assessor: A list of all the real estate of such person, firm, corpora tion or association, or in which such' person, firm, corporation or associa tion has any Interest, situate in his county and liable to taxation, which list shall include a statement to be made by such person, managing agent or orncer, showing the true cash value of every parcel of such real estate, or Interest therein, owned by such person, firm, corporation, or association. Attached to these blanks are affi davits to be signed and sworn to before the assessor or his chief deputy, vouching for the accuracy of the de scriptions and making oath that the values set opposite each parcel are the true cash values. These returns by owners are to be used by the assessor in determining values for assessment purposes. The assessor may lncreae or decrease any valuation made by the owner, agent or officer of a corporation for the purposes of as sessment and taxation. These blanks will be ready for dis tribution tomorrow. Assessor Reed is anxious that all property owners shall call at his office and procure the nec essary blanks in order that they may make proper returns of their holdings and the value thereof.

Dieck, commissioner of public works, the couhcil this morning denied the application of W. J. Piatt, 527 East Forty second street, for a franchise ., to operate a ferry across Bra ""asee street, at East Forty-sec-fond. Mr. Piatt stated in his appli cation a ferry boat was neces sary to get the people across the puddle in the street at that point owing to the poor drain age system put in when the pavement Was laid. In his recommendation Com missioner: Dieck stated that if boats were operated across the street they would stop traffic. He also stated that Inasmuch as the streetcar company had in stalled a drain a ferry system would be impossible. The question of whether an attor ney's fee of $7500 Is reasonable and should be allowed is one of the prob lems which , Circuit Judge Bradshaw will be called upon to decide in con nection with Multnomah county's suit to foreclose a $119,600 mortgage on the old county poor farm property on the Canyon road, which B. M. Lom bard purchased from the county in May of 1910. The $7500 fee, which witnesses for the defendant alleged is excessive, is asked for by Attorney A. E. Clark, who is acting as a special counsel for the county in the foreclosure suit. There are four main points on which the judge must pass. They are wheth er the foreclosure should be granted, whether the city's claim of an $1800 lien should be charged against Lom bard or the county, whether Lombard should have release on certain' portions of the property affected and whether the proposed t7500 fee for the plain tiffs attorney is reasonable. In connection with the matter of the reasonableness of the fee, Mr. Clark argued that it was not excessive when the amount of Work, the. respon sibility, general importance of the mat ter and the sum involved were taken into consideration. He introduced as witnesses to back up his statement, former United States Senator Charles W. Fulton, Judge Samuel White, John A. Hall, formerly United States dis trict attorney, and Attorney John F. Logan. They all testified that the sum asked for was not excessive. The defendants called Judge Cle land and H. M. Easterly. Judge Cle land said that he had not given the matter thorough consideration but be lieved $3000 would be "about right" and Attorney Easterly declared 'that $1200 would be a good fee as the case called for no unusual amount of work or time. Although District Attorney Evans had informed the county-commissioner that his office could handle the suit, he agreed that. Inasmuch as Clark had handled other litigation between Lombard and the county in connection with the property, it might be best for the county to employ Clark as special counsel. The county sold Lombard the old county poor farm, which consists of 202H acres, for $164,500 in 1910. Lorn bard naid down 135.000 in cash and gave a mortgage for $119,500 6n the property and three notes of equal amount payable in one, two and three years respectively. He paid nothing on the notes, which are now all over due, but did pay $10,000 Interest, and there is now more than $12,000 Interest due. The interest rate was 6 per cent. The county held the property for 18 months, pending the completio n of the new county buildings on the new county farm, and Lombard brought a $47,000 damage suit, because he had been unable to get full possession of the land. Judge Henry McGinn acted as referee and gave Lombard damages in the sum of $2700, In this case At torney Clarke represented the county and his fee was $500, according to County Commissioner Lightner today. . i - . There was nothing unusual nor ex citing in a, saddle horse in front of the Benson about 1 oclock today, but the temper of the onlookers changed suddenly as a dainty little blonde wom an wearing a heavy black mask came out of the hotel and prepared to mount the big chestnut in waiting. It was Madame, the Lady of the Black Mask, who arrived in Portland last evening and registered simply from the U. S. How long she will re main, Madame does not know. Where Is she from? Her home is everywhere. What brings her to Portland? Just traveling about, that's all. But horses! There Madame will talk. "They are my one great delight in life," she said, as she stroked the nose of. her mount. ' "I have ridden since I can remember. I began riding bareback. How do I happen to use a side saddle? Because it is the only way for a woman to ride. Some sav it Is not safe, but that Is because they do not know how. You must sit deep and carry that feeling that nothing can separate you from your seat." Madame carries her own saddle and bridle with iier. Today she wore smart habit of black with tie of hunts man green, blaok sailor hat and car ried a crop. She says she will ride every day during her stay in Portland however long that may be. Today her course wag staked for the city park and tomorrow she is planning & ride to Council Crest, of which she had heard before reaching here.

Miller, collector of in ternal revenue, has received a message from Commissioner W. H. Osborne, head of the internal revenue depart ment. to the effect that the lncom tax returns can be filed with the col lectors' offices throughout the country cn March 1 without becoming delin quent. On Monday, March 2, however, those eligible to make the.ret.urns will be delinquent, and subject 'to 'the pen alties provided by the income tax statutes unless an extension of time has been granted on account of ab sence or sickness. Mail is being delivered to the in ternal revenue collector's office four times a day, and each of. these de liveries the past week has included hundreds of letters. From one delivery this morning the envelopes that con tained letters of inquiry on the in come tax overflowed a large waste basket. Mr. Miller is working his force overtime in order that every let ter received may be answered the same day, Last night people were busy in his office answering communications until 10 o'clock. Prominent local laundrymen when Interviewed today denied the report circulated this morning that Portland is in the gTip of a laundry "trust" and that prices on flat work .have been in creased 100 per cent during the past 10 days. They admitted, however, that the flat work rate had been Increased from 15 to 20 per cent fcr hotels, restau rants, boarding houses and other large users of flat linen. The Increased rate, however, is deemed Justifiable in view of the increased wages ana short ened hours of labor under the rulings of the Industrial Welfare commission. It is also said that the large flat goods customers have long been paying less than the service actually costs and that the Increase for hotels, etc., is en tirely equitable. t. s. warinner, presiaeni oi mo Portland Laundrymen's club, a sociffl organization having a membership of about 25 of .the leading laundrymen of the city, stated this morning that the club had djscussed the need of increas ing rates on flat stuff, but that no written agreement hal been made and that the increase in no Instance will be more than 20 per cent. "As far as I know," said Mr. Warin ner, "there is no uniformity of price lists in the city. In most instances the prices for families have been loweved. The rates for hotels and other large patrons of laundries have been in creased, as for example sheets have been raised from IV to lVi cents and other articles in proportion. The in creases will amount to about 15 per cent, not more than 20 per cent. "These Increases have been made necessary through the increased ex penses of operation for handling flnt work. Where we used to work 10 hours, now by the ruling of the In dustrial Welfare commission our work ers only work nine, and get a minP mum wage of $8.2 besides. As tliis ruling only applies to flat workers an Increase has been necessary in tho price of doing flat work. Starch work ers are classed as skilled operatives and do not come under the provisions of the ruling. "The price of flat work to the ordi nary consumer has not been Increased. The things that count in the business are quality, service and personality. The laundries have stopped ' giving excessive commisisons to janitors in epartment houses and to protect them selves and their customers have ma terially reduced the commisisons which janitors previously collected from the Individual. "The statement that laundries have combined to control" use of soap and laundry machinery is absolutely false and absurd. The price of soap is fixed on a competitive market. As for con trol of machinery I never heard of a piece of laundry machinery being leased. No such thing is known in the business. I know every laundry- man from Alaska to San Diego and I never heard such a thing mentioned."
