4 'saram Handled by the Associated
Press Incorrect as to Mr.. Cooper
Being Appointed Consult
ing Engineer.
THERE is NO TRUTH IN IT
Work Being Done by the Present En-
gineers is compIimented by Mr..
Cooper Who Says They
Need No Assistance.

The following telegram was receiv-
ed Saturday afternoon from Hugh L.
cooper and refers to the recent dis.
patches handled by the Associated
Press stating that Mr.. Cooper had
been retained as consulting engineer
On an important work in the Nile by
the Egyptian government 1t is per-
tlnent and fair to state that the Unit
ed Press did not carry the story, fol-
lowing its customary course of dts
seminating accurate information. The
telegram from Mr.. Cooper is as fol
lows:
NEW YORK, March IA, 1914.
c. F. Skirvin, Gate City, Keokuk,
Iowa.: Referring to reports of my
appointm ant as consulting engi-
neer to Egyptian government
would appreciate if you would
publish following statement and
also supply same to United Press
Associations:
Mr.. Cooper upon his arrival in
New York yesterday on the Maui
retania stated to the correspon-
dent of the London Daily Tele-
graph which paper had announ-
ced the appointment in London,
that there is no truth in the re-
port whatsoever. That he had not
approached the Egyptian govern
ment engineers nor had any ne.
gotiations with them regarding
the new contemplated dams on
the Nile, and stated further that
the work being done by the pres
ent engineers is of a very high
quality and that they are in no
need OF advice from American en-
gineers. He stated that he was
at loss to understand how this
report started but that possibly /
1t emanated from the fact that he
had recently submitted to the
Egyptian government plans for
the development of hydro-electric
power from the Assouan dam
built some time ago.
HUGH l.. COOPER.
A local publication took OCCASION to
decorate itself with FIRST news M /,
ais" and cast reflection on com.
petitor because its press association
preferred silence to inacouracy. In the
light of Developments and Mr.. Coop
er's telegram to The Gate City, the
local publication is in ridiculous
situation.
