DO YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD 1871
It's Chief Use and a Method of Deter
mining Good from Bad Explained

White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world 1t is made
by corroding metallic lead into white
powder, through exposing it to the
fumes of weak acetic acid and carbonic
acid gas; this powder is then ground
and mixed with inseed oil. making
thick paste, in which form it is packed
and sold for painting purposes. The
painter thins it down to the proper
consistency for application by the adj
dition of more linseed oil.
The above refers, of course, to pure,
genuine White Lead only. Adulterated
and fake white Lead" of which there
are many brands on the market, is
generally some sort of composition
containing only a percentage of white
lead; sometimes no White Lead at all !;
in such stuff, barytes or ground rock,
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used to make bulk and initiate the
appearance of pure White Lead
There is, however, a positive test by
which the purity or fmpurity of White
Lead may be proved or exposed, be

One Of the most important business
changes that has been made In
Cottonwood for several months oc'
curre6 here yesterday when J. A.
Schultz. the Nezperce banker. pur-
chased the First National Bank from
E. NJ. EhFhafdi and associates and
then consolidated With the Farmers
& Merchants State Bank Of this
place. Mr.. Schultz has been work
Ing toward this change for some
time but Il was not until yesterday
that thetwo deals we're consummated.
Mr.. Schultz informs Us thai just as
soon asshe details can be arranged
be viii move here from Nezrerce
snd assume the management Of the
bank and the Farmcrs' & Merchants
Bank will move into the First Nat
ional building. where the joint In
ssiiution will bear the name Of the
First National Bank Of Cottonwood.
Az soon as the material can be Sc
cured Il is the intention 10 erect a
nice brick building on the present
site to be used as the future home Of
the joint institution. Messrs Rob-
ersson and Masthiescn, Of The Farm
ers' & Merchants Bank, will be re-
iained 10 assis, in conducting the
affairs Of the institution, while
Messfs Ehrhardt and McCinitic
will retire. The latter will return
10 his old home In Nebraska but the

OF the bank VIC can recall that the
firss bank in Cottonwood was started
by Mr.. Ehrhards in February. 1908.
and was called the Idaho County
Bank. It was capitalized for Sl0.-
600 and run under this name until
October, 1905. when Il was convert
ed into a national bank and the
capital increased to s2s. 900. About
this time Mr.. McCinitie came out
from the cast to assist Mr.. Ehrhardt
in conducting the institution. The
bank made an excellent growth from
the start up to date and has been
recognized as one of the strongest
and best institutions of It's kind in
this part Of Idaho. The Farmers
& Merchants State Bank. which
has been. consolidated with the
First National Bank, was opened
here on March LIST, 1906, by
number of prosperous farmers ofthis
section. Geo. NJ. Robertson, for
merly county treasurer of Idaho

Electric line to Moscow by September
On account Of the heavy rain
Saturday afternoon, which put a stop.
temporarily, TO the work, a large
number of men employed on the
Spokane & Inland electric line flock
ed into the city. From one Of these
II was learned that the steel on the
Moscow extension has been laid to a
point about II miles south Of Palouse
and that the work Of completing the
line TO Moscow is being vigorously
pushed. This man said
"An official Of the road, but whose
name ! have no authority TO mention,
has given It out that the road will be
completed to Moscow during the irst
week in Angus, and the cars will be
running into your town by the middle
of the month, or not latter than Sep
tember LIST. The officials are strain
ing every point to accomplish this
and judging by the progress made
since the weather has become settled,
I believe they will succeed in enter
ing Moscow on that date"
The first freight hauled over the
Moscow extension was a carload Of
oats shipped from Palouse to Viola
to A. W. Fox, a contractor. The
shipment was made las, week by
Smith & Son Of palouse.
1t IS rumored that after the line is
competed to Moscow work on the
