Jacobs to J. M. Watkins, in settle ment of a claim for commission on the sale ot certain lands, a contract for the disposal of which Mr. Wat kins held. Sometime ago Mr. Watkins, who has been more or less active In the real estate business, approached Mr. Jacobs with a proposition covering the sale ot certain tule lands. After some negotiations a contract was en tered Into between Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Watkins, which provided that Mr. Watkins would have the agency for the handling ot the lands. The contract did not contain a time pro vision limiting the agency to a period that would permit ot the lands being placed with someone else, and It was to this fact that Mr. Watkins may at-! tribute his good f-.irtune. Shortly after Mr. Watkins entered Into this agrement, Mr. Jacobs was approached by other parties who as sured hint that they were in a posi tion to bring about a quick sale of thu property In question, and as this was what Mr. Jacobs desired, ho call ed on Mr. Wntklns, suggested that tho agreement between them be cal' ed off nnd ho he permitted to negoti ate with tho otiu-r people. .Mr Wnt klns, however could not see lt in that light duo to tho fact that ho had al ready disposed ot considerable of these lands and had commissions due In the amount ot approximately $6, 000, nnd was making headway to ward tho disposal ot the balance ot the acreage which would havo netted htm far more than the settlement offered by Mr. Jacobs, but Mr. Jacobs declded'he could and proceed ed to do business with the other par ties, Tho result was a sale ot the property. When Mr. Wntklns was apprised of the denl ho calln 1 uuon Mr .l.n ol.s far u settlement and made the proposi tion or either a $20,000 suit or a $10,000 settlement. After due reflec tion 'and mature consideration. Mr. Jacobs decided that it would he a good stroke ot business to save $IC- 000, and accordingly close-! tho deal with Mr. Watkins, paying tho gentle man $2, GOO cash and a note for nlne ty days, carrying Interest at S, per cent. That la why Mr. Watktm smiles and rides In a brand no a- Chandler, and that Is why he thlnln it :ays to have a contract. WTNM S WILL RECLAIM LARGE TRACT Government Open Bid for Reclamation of Marshes Will Add Upwards of Ten MlUkm Dollars to the Agricultural Id Value of the County Work Will Start on Award of Leae to Suc cessful Bidders. With the opening of bids at the office of the United States Reclama tion Service In this city yesterday afternoon, the first step' was takes that will add from five to ten million dollars to the land values of this county. These bids were for the re clamation of 9980 acres of swamp) land along the shores of the Upper Klamath lake, and will make produc tive land that will be among the most fertile of any on the Coast. For five weeks the Reclamation Service has been advertising for bids for the reclamation ot this land, the consideration for the work to be the use of the land for a stated period of1 time. There were three tracts of land, offered, one located at Crystal Creek, consisting ot 7,000 acres, one at Peli can Bay ot 1980 acres and the third, known as Hank's marsh, of l.OOo acres. The successful bidder will be required to put up a Surety bond of $40,000 fox the Crystal Creek tract. $20,000 for the Pelican Hay and $10. 000 for the Hank's marsh. Five bidders participated, and tb keenest Interest was manifested, for lt was recognized that land will prove ot immense value was at stake. Fol lowing are the bids submitted: Crystal Creek; The Geary Invest ment company, Portland, thirty years; Doak and Brown, thirty years. Pelican Bay, D. M. Stephenson, thirty years; Doak and Brown, twenty-eight years. Hank's marsh. Sawmill Engineer ing and Construction company, br F. Hill Hunter, forty-two vejrs; J. Frank Adams, twenty-flvo vcam. A!l of the bids are to be referred to the headquarters of the Rprtimat on Service in Washington Irom wlit-ra the award will be made. It uifte" stood that arrangements are Ml mntle for the almost tmmedlato cornmen-'h-me:,t of operations. Tlie big dredgar. the Klamath Queen will bo put on tho work of reclaiming thn Pellma Bay and Crystal creek marsh while J. Frank Adams has a dredgo thut ho will put to work on Hank's i.iutsh if ho is given the lease on the land. The Immense value of hls land o the county will be little realized until lt Is entirely under cultivation. That lt will eventually be worth a thous and dollars an acre Is the con'iiteut belief of those who have had experi ence with marsh lands In other sei ttons ot the United States.
