Fitch, the Acting Director ol the lteclarnatlon Pcrvlcc, has written to Director Jacob Itueck, of the Water Uteis' Association, that it is Very prob able that .Secretary Garfield and Direc tor F. II. Newell will visit the Klamath project this Summer. At this time they are both absent from Washington and nothing can bo done about the re jection of the bids on the Clear lake dam until they return.

Po far llie 83 per cent of the land asked by Director Newell has not been tinned and unless a deal for the lieekman lauds ts coniummated It will lie a difficult matter to get the required per cent.
