(AP)- Careful study of the pro

la mat Ion project In Washington I
stale was promised by 'resident t
Cool id e today to a group of west- ,
ern rili'enn who called to explain
the proposal. '
Mr. i'oolidge understands the ;
I Columbia river project would cost
more than 1 00.000,000 and while
he favors such propositions In a
general way he made it clear to-
day that he would like more in- '
formation on this gigantic under
taking. I As a general rule, the president
would like to see such development
proceed as fast as funds from fho
reclamation work would permit.
He listened attentively to the dele
gation from the far northwest.
Mr. Coolidge agreed to ilium. n
the matter w 1th Secretary Woru. -'members
of the delegation sti I. '
with a view to determining whet.
place t he project should have In
'the national program for reclaim,.
lion. Irrigation and flood control. !
Support of I Slates
I Harvey Dudley, president of the
Columbia River ltusln league, ,is
spokesman for the group, told the
president that the project "has the
enthusiastic support of practically
tall Inlcnsts In the four slates af
1 tected. Oregon, Idaho, Montana
and Washington."
The project has as its goal the.
reclamation of L,SiiO,niH acre 'o
be developed over u period of ''
yea i s.
The delegation t(b Mr. CnolhR'n
Hie project would not affect pres
