H. R. Reynolds Clears $60,000
in Final Settlement of Con
tract Controversy.
BASIS IS $1250 AN ACRE
Value of Property Has Increased
From $154,000 to $252,500 In
Few Months Since Sale Agree
ment Was Drawn Up.
Large profits -were made by H. K.
Reynolds In closing the county poor farm
deal yesterday when he old his interest
to B. M. Lombard on a basis of J1250 an
acre. This gives Mr. Lombard absolute
control of the property, after litigation
and disagreements extending over a
period of several months.
"When the county first contracted for
th sale of the poor farm, consisting of
202 acres, lying just west of the City
Park, there appeared Ave claimants, each
to one-fifth of the property. The county
was to receive $154,000 for the 203 acres.
When It finally was taken before the
County Court for settlement, an ultima
tum was served, warning the numerous
claimants that If the controversy were
not determined yesterday the contract
was to be declared void. As a result the
various Interests got together yesterday
and notified the County Court that all
persons claiming an interest in the con
tract had settled their differences, and
that the deed should be made to Mr.
Lombard. This notification was signed in
person or by attorney by W. A. Span
ton, H. R. Reynolds. B. M. Lombard, H.
L. Suydam and the United States Trustee
Company.
The original five claimants to the con
tract were Dorr E. Keasey, W. A. Span
ton, Mr. Jenkins. B. M. Lombard and
the United States Trust Company, which
is owned by Mr. Reynolds. Mr. Lombard
first bought out the Jenkins interest, and
Mr. Reynolds bought out the Spanton
interest, but not until after Mr. Spanton
had sold a half interest of his claim
to H. L. Suydam. one of his employes,
ilr. Keaeey then gave an option for
his interest, but relincruished his claim
later and this was taken up by Mr.
Lombard. The result was that until yes
terday both Mr. Lombard and Mr. Reyn
olds claimed a three-fifths interest in the
contract. Suydam came forward with his
claim and there was more trouble. Finally
the matter was tangled almost hopeless
ly and taken into the courtSL It threa
tened to run on endlessly until the ulti
matum came from the County Court and
forced a prompt settlement.
When the matter was finally brought
up before Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Lom
bard, three different proposals were made.
Mr. Reynolds offered to divide the prop
erty, each taking half; offered to sell his
Interest at a slated figure to Mr. Lom
bard or to buy Mr. Lombard's interest at
the same figure. Mr. Lombard did not
want to sell, and finally accepted the
proposition to buy. paying air. Reynolds
on the basis of J1260 an acre for the 101
acres.
The Keasey claim had meanwhile been
divided between Mr. Lombard and Mr.
Reynolds, so that in the final settlement
each agreed to claim an even So per cent
of the property. Above the money paid
by Mr. Reynolds for the various con
tracts, he will have a clear profit of
160.000. This represents an increase in the
Value of the property, since it was sold,
of from J154.000. the sum to be. paid the
county, to $2f2,500.
Mr. Lombard Is now planning to plat
the entire property as a high-grade city
addition. It will be placed on the market
in connection with the Ladd 2S0-acre tract
located just west of the poor farm and
100 acres already owned by Mr. Lombard.
Just south of the property. This will
give in all 6S0 acres of highly desirable
residence property.
Before placing the land on the market,
however. Mr. Lombard will go East, look;
into the money market and assure him
self that conditions are favorable for
handling a transaction that will Involve
several hundred thousands of riolla t
Is intended to place the property on sale
as one of the best improved tracts in the
city.

New Preacher at White Tempi In
forms Parishioners He Does Not
Want to Be Called "Doctor."
"Mister" Is Good Enough
Dr. W. B. Hlnson, of San Diego, ac
cepted the pastorate of the White Temple
(First Baptist Church) last night. The
congregation, by rising vote, unanimotKly
pledged its support to the new pastor, and
Dr. Hinson immediately outlined his pol
icy for the ensuing year.
"We sliould start together within five
minutes after the contract is sealed," said
Dr. Hinson, "and there are some things I
want to say. I want to say that inside
the church, all are equal. I want to say
that I will serve no clique, if there be
euch. I want to say that I shall be led
by no party. I shall not make an effort
to please you. and if I don't preach a ser
mon to suit you, you may rescind the ac
tion you have taken tonight. If I preach
a sermon that fits you, accommodatingly
suit yourselves to the clothes. I shall not
be saying what you think a preacher
ought to say. If I did, I'd be saying what
you think, and you would need no preach
er. I will disguise nothing, conceal noth
ing. "And another thing I want to say. Don't
call me 'doctor.' There are three words
you may use. You may call me "mister,"
you may call me "preacher," you may call
me "brother." Out of these three kindly
use one and forget the others."
After the resignation of Dr. J. Whit
comb Brougher, three months ago, friends
invited Dr. Hinson to visit Portland. Dr.
Hinson was so well pleased with the city
and the congregation of the White Tem
ple was so well pleased with Dr. Hinson
that he later received a call to the
pastorate of the church. Dr. Hinson re
turned to Portland May 1 and after con
ferring with various committees of the
church, formally anonunced his accept
ance of the call at last night's prayer
meeting. His acceptance was brief and
stipulated that he would assume charge
of the congregation for one year, pro
viding ne be given Its unanimous sup
port in all matters pertaining to its wel

report of the credentials committee, fix
ing the salary of Dr. Hinson at $5000 a
