Show PRESIDENT TO COME WEST. Will Attend Trans-Mississipi Congress Con-gress and G. A. R. Encampment. Salt Lake City. A special to the Herald from Washington says: In conversation Saturday with a senator, President Taft gave the first definite assurance that he would visit the west during .the coming summer. The senator conveyed a message to the president from the Water Users' association as-sociation holding lands under the Gunnison reclamation project, which has been under construction by the government for the past five or six years, requesting him to preside at the formal turning on of the water upon the lands to be irrigated, this event being scheduled for a date in August next. The president said that he would accept the invitation and be present at the opening of the enterprise en-terprise if the day could be set for any date between August 15 and 20. This acceptance is taken as assurance assur-ance that the president will also be enabled to attend the Trans-missis-sippi congress, which convenes at Denver August 16, and the Grand Army of the Republic annual reunion, which will be held at Salt Lake City about the middle of August. |
