ess is the substance of a mcssag,
received THURSDAY morning by The
Tribune from Senator Frank Gooding.
Senator Gooding wired
President left for Livestock
show at Chicago before relief
measure for irrigation projects
reached the White House. Will
advise you as soon as bill is
signed.
Despite the fact that the bill was
not signed by the president as quick
ly as had been hoped. there is no
likelihood of President Coolidge de
clining to sign the measure. In fact
he has assured members OF the Idaho
delegation since the senate passed
the bill Tuesday that he would sign
il. The president has always been an
ardent advocate of reclamation relief
1t was due to his cooperation that the
bill passed the house at the previous
session.
