Ehrhardt Buys Lewiston Bank.

Word comes from Lewiston to
the effect that E. M. Ehrhardt,
formerly a resident of this place
and who started the first bank
in Cottonwood, has interested
several men there with himself
and purchased the Commercial
Trust Company bank. The name
of the bank will be changed to
the Bank of Commerce, and Mr..
CLANCY, formerly state bank ex-
aminer, will be actively identified
with its management.
Mr.. Ehrhardt started the Ida
no County Bank at this place
about six years ago and later
made a national bank of it. He
was president of the bank up to
the time it was sold to J. A.
Schultz last summer. Mr.. Ehr-
hardt is considered one of the
most able bankers in the country
and, though a young man, does
not have to take a back seat for
anyone. His many Cottonwood
friends wish him we'll in his new
field and feel confident of his
making a success of the new
venture.

Direct Primary Law Passed.

The senate at Boise passed the
direct primary law Monday anc
Governor Brady says he will sign
1t as soon as it is printed. The
passage of the bill was fought
hard by several republicans on
the grounds that it needed con-
siderable amending but by the
aid of the democratic senator's
the bill was passed as it stood,
all but one of the senators voting
for it. The bill is different than
the Oregon law and is said to be
not nearly as good.
Among the house bills passed
were the following:
Appropriating $4,000 for the
construction of a wagon bridge
across the Salmon river at Golf.
Appropriating SIS, 900 for the
construction of a bridge across
the Snake river between Elmore
and Owyhee counties.
Appropriating $4,000 out of
the fish and game fund for the
purchase from the United States
of a park of lands in the Coeur
d'Alene reservation.
Compelling the treasurer to re-
ceive cash, United States depos-
itary drafts, postoffice money or
ders or bank drafts from county
treasurers in settlement of ac-
counts and to deposit the money
at once to the credit of the state.
This is known as the anti-collec-
tion account bill.
Appropriating Sis, ZOO for the
Improvement of the Snake river,
the money to be expended by the
secretary of war.
Appropriating $25, 900 for the
completion of trail along the
south fork of the Clearwater riv-
er to extend to the Salmon river.

TEMPERANCE BILLS
 GO SLOW IN SENATE

Though passed easily by a zealous House. rigorous prohibition measures are striking 6 slower gait when pre- sented to a more conservative Senate. The Fuller outlaw corporation bill Is one of the prohibition measures which will probably undergo some revision at the hands of the Senate Committee on Temperance.
 The Fuller bill passed the House last week. It provided, briefly. that no charter be given In Alabama to for eign corporations whose original char ter held provision for the sale of li- quor. The bill thus prohibited any cor poration authorized to sell liquor in any State. to transact business of any kind In Alabama. thus outlawing the foreign concern. even though 1t took no advantage of the provision to trafio in liquor.
 The bill Is now in the hands of the Senate Temperance Committee and will be considered finally by 1t today.
