GEM DISTRICT
WINS At LAST
IN LONGF|GHT
Senator Borah Wires
That Power Appropri-
alton Bill Gets Past
Senate Monday
Gem District Wins Out"


That is the terse message received
by The Tribune Monday afternoon
from Senator William L. Borah con-
firming the report received in Caldwell
also by Mrs. J H. Lowell from Mr..
Lowell in Washington.
News OF the victory for the Gem
district before the congressional COM
mite created quite stir among close
followers OF the Gem district in Cald-
well Monday afternoon. John c. Rice
when informed OF the message from
Senator Borah expressed complete
satisfaction with the progress OF events
and the future OF the Black Canyon.
According to Mr. Rice, who is
closely associated with Mr.. Lowell in
Gem district affairs. the district will
again this year receive power from
the Idaho Power company on the same
charge basis that has been in practice
during recent seasons. Recent con-
vcrsations with W. r. Putnam. presi-
dent OF the Idaho Power company.
indicated that the company would
again supply power provided an order
was given by the Idaho public utili-
ties commission as happened last year.
As a matter of protection for the COM
pany's interests. due to delinquent
power bills. this process is resorted to.

of a power plant at Black Canyon

Gem district in pumping water to
Gem lands passed the Senate Monday,
according to information received in
Caldwell from J. II. Lowell, manager
of the district who has been in Wash
ington almost continuously this win
ter fighting for the bill.
The bill has already passed the
House and now goes to President
Coolidge for his signature. That the
President will sign the measure is the
opinion of those close in touch with
the situation. The passage OF the bill
marks the close of bitter fight made
against il by influential Senators and
Congressman, and news of the victory
was received with enthusiasm by the
citizens OF Caldwell who have been
lending active support to the plan.
The power from the new plant will
be available for the 1925 irrigation
