House Passes Local Option Bill.

The senate local option bill
passed the house Monday by a
vote of 80 to 10 and now awaits
the governors signature before
becoming a law. The bill differs
in many respects from the one
introduced in the house and is
not so drastic in its provisions.
The bill provides that the coun-
ty commissioners shall, within
30 to go days after application,
call a special election upon the
petition of 40 per cent of the vote
the county cast at the preceding
election for secretary of state.
If a majority votes for prohibi-
ton the county shall be dry and
all licenses shall become null and
void 80 days after the election
unless issued prior to the passage
of the act, when they will con-
tinue for the full year for which
they were issued. In case a
county votes wet, the commits
sioners, city councils and village
trustees may still refuse to grant
liquor licenses at their option.
Liquor for manufacturing medic
inal and artistic purposes can
only be sold on certificate and
prescription which must be kept
on file for two years by the coun-
ty auditor. Shipment of liquor
from a wet to a dry county is
prohibited. All offenses are
made misdemeanors with penal
ties ranging from 5000 to $4,000
and from 80 days to six months
in Jail.
The house also passed the en-
ployers' liability bill Monday,
thereby doing its part in redeem
ing another party pledge.

Another Store Building Going Up.

Sam Goldstone let a contract
the first of the week to Paul
johnson for the erection of a
store building 26x70 feet in size
and one story high, the building
to be erected on Mr.. Goldstone' s
lot on King street and over the
creek. When finished the build
ing will be occupied by the Gold
stone, Nash, Creelman Co. store
until such time as Mr.. Goldstone
can erect a brick or concrete
building on the site Of his old
store next summer. The new
building will be fitted with a
plate glass front and will be fin
ished up in nice shape. Work
on it will be commenced as soon

Quail Perish.

Undoubtly many quail perished.
during the recent severe cold snap
throughout this section. Grant.
Hamblen reports having discov-
cred three large bevys frozen to-
death while on a trip up Lapwais
canyon a few days ago.. The.
dead birds were lying thickly.
scattered about on the ground!
showing that the entire flocks hadl
perished. For the past several
years the winters have been COM,
paratively mild and these birds
have multiplied rapidly in num-
bers since they were introduced
in this section and last year the
fields in many localities were said
to be full of them. If the loss
has been as heavy as now seems
likely it may be two or three
years before the quail become as
numerous as they were last fall.

FIRST NATIONAL
CHANGES HANDS
Promin ent Lewiston and Granger
vile Bankers Purchase Interest
of J. A. Schultz in Local Insti-
tuition.

The residents Of Cottonwood
were somewhat surprised Satur-
day to learn that the First Ma
tional Bank of this place had
changed hands, ]. A. Schultz,
former presid dent of the institu-
ton, having disposed of his in
terest in the bank to- Frank w.
Kettenbach, of Lewiston, w. w.
Brown, of Grangeville, and Wal
ter l.. Brown, of this city. With
the change in control new officers
and directors were at once elected
to manage the affairs of the bank
for the ensuing year.
The officers are Frank w. Ket-
tenbach, president; Walter L.
Brown, vice president; Geo. M.
Robertson, cashier, and H. C.
Matthiesen, asst. cashier. The
directors are Frank w. Ketten-
bach, w. w. Brown, Walter L.
Brown, Jacob Matthiesen and A.
J. Barth.
The change above mentioned
will not cause any material
changes in the banks business
methods but will add much to it's
strength and stability. The bank
has been doing a fine business
and has become one Of the best
institutions of the kind in this
part of Idaho, which accounts for
Messrs. Brown and Kettenbach
having purchased a controlling
interest in it.
w. L. Brown, the new vice
president, will be actively iden-
titled with the management of
the bank which will insure its
continued growth and prosperity.
Mr.. Schultz, who retires, has
not decided just what he will en-
gage in next but he will probably
continue to reside here for some
time. During his short residence
in Cottonwood he has identified
himself materially with the ad-
Vancement and upbuilding of the
town and his many friends hate
to see him leave, we'll knowing
that it will be a hard matter to
find one who will successfully fill
his place.

Held Lincoln Exercises.

Friday last, the first centenary
of President Lincoln's birthday,
the pupils of the Parochial and
st. Michael's school united for
the purpose of commemorating
in a befitting manner this occa-
sion of universal and national re-
joicing. The walls of the school
room were decorated with the
pictures of Presidents Lincoln
and the Father of our country,
surrounded with the national
colors and Coat-of-Arms. After
the chanting of some patriotic
songs under the direction Of V.
Sr. Mechild, Rev. FIR. Berthold,
of the school introduced
Father Ignatius, who delivered a
very able adress, dwelling on the
model character of honest Abe"
and his heroic martyrdom for the
preservation of the Union. The
singing Of RED White and Blue"
concluded the celebration, which
no boubt, will long be remember
ed by the pupils.
