Hopes for Release.
Portland, Or, Mar. 3.-Thomas
I,otisso was taken to the state pen
itentiary at Salem today to begin
life term for the murder of his ~
vear-old English war bride.
Meantime his attorneys have not
given up all hope of saving MN
from life time within prison
walls. -
An attack upon the validity OF
the first degree murder statute, uh-
der which Lotisso was convicted
has been begun by his attorneys
who have filed a motion in the CIR
cult court asking that the veroIc.
of guilty be set aside and that 81
days be granted in which to tlle d
bill of exceptions.
The particular point upon when
the law, as enacted by the Vote Vi
the electorate last year, is to be at
tackled was not disclosed by attor-
news for Lotisso, but is understoon
that they will claim that the at
tempt to revive capital punishment
was nullified by the alternative OF
life imprisonment which the pres
ent law permits.

Thousands Gather at
Station to Cheer
President elect On
Arrival

Washington, Mar. 3-President-
elect Harding reached Washington
at l O'Clock this afternoon and
went into conference with inau-
sural officials on details of tomor-
row ceremonies.
The station concourse was jam
med, while hundreds not so for
tunate as to be able to get .n-
doors bfaved a misty rain to get
a glimpse of the new president to
be.
A special detail of nearly 100
police was on hand to keep open
lane leading from the trainshed
TO the presidential room at the
station.
Vice-President-elect Calvin Cool
idge and Mrs. Coolidge greeted Mr..
and Mrs. Harding and their party
in the presidential room and ac-
companied them to the New Will
lard hotel where the president
elect and Mrs, Harding will make
their headquarters until they go
to the White House tomorrow af-
ternoon.
Festival Spirit Appears
Washington, March 3.-Despite
the expressed desire of President
elect Harding for simple inaugural
ceremonies Washington today had
assumed very much of a pre-in-
auguration air. The streets were a
little more crowded than usual,
hotel rooms were somewhat scarc-
er and flags and bunting in profus-
ion made their appearance a long
Pennsylvania avenue and in the
downtown section.
Finishing touches were given to
the stand on the east portico OF
the capitol where Mr.. Harding
will take the oath of office and
deliver his inaugural address.
To Washington residents and
'old timers" today's contrast with
former day before Inauguration
days was particularly noticeable
Missing were the long rows of
temporary stands at convenient
points along the avenue from
which thousands would view the
big parade" and cheer the out
going and incoming presidents.

A BETTER FERDINAND.

Fires are bound to come to
every wooden-shack town sooner
or later, and though at the time
it occurs it always works hard
ship on one or more persons, ow-
ing to loss of property, it is a
boon to any village when the
wooden building age is passed
and substantial buildings are
constructed. So it will be with
Ferdinand.
1t is expected that before fall
this town will be a bigger and
better town, and by far a safer
place for property, when the con-
templated buildings shall have
become a reality. There is need
for a brisk little village here, as
a trading point, and whatever
we make the town that will it be.
We can make it a leader, or
follow the procession. To lie
dormant, and let George do it,
will drive trade to neighboring
villages, but if we get in and
drill, we are going to draw our
fullquota of trade, and also much
from adjoining territory. Which
shall it be Ferdinand Enter
prise.

SELLS REGISTER.

G. II. Martin, who for the past
two years has been owner and
editor of the Craigmont Register
located at Craigmont, Idaho, last
week disposed of his interest in
the paper to S. j. Linder, post
master and a leading citizen of
Craigmont. During Mr.. Martins
newspaper career in Craigmont
he has accomplished much for
the community he lived in, hav-
ing been a great factor in unit
ing the old towns Vollmer and
llo and also i'll establishing one
post office, located midway be-
tween Ilo and Vollmer, much to
the satisfaction of all concerned.
From a newspaper standpoint,
Mr.. Martin, since assuming the
head of the newspaper, has made
the Register one of the best
papers published in Northern

prietor, S. j. Linder, who takes
over the paper this week we wish
him the best of success. Mr..

BANKS CLOSE DOORS.

The First National bank of
Charleston, WASH, with deposits
of more than $500, 900, controlled
by the Waterman interests, was
closed Friday by National Bank
Examiner Sawyer, and immedi-
ately following the State Bank
of Kamiah, the State Bank of
Kooskia, the State Bank of Peck
and the Fidelity State Bank of
Orofino, all in Idaho, and con-
trolled by the Waterman group,
with aggregate deposits of $780,
600, also suspended.
Neither the bank examiner
nor officials of the involved in
stitutions will make any state
ments, but men who profess to
be closely in touch with the sit
uation say that the failures are
ne to inability to realize on
loans, much of which are secured
by wheat tickets, which have de-
preciated in value because of the
recent heavy slump i'll grain
prices.
The last statement of the First
National Bank of Charleston on
February 21, 1921, showed total
resources of $91S,931. The
bank was organized seven years
ago, with a capital of $4,000
and the surplus. as shown by the
last statement, was $4,000.
C. F. Waterman is president
George Waterman, vice presi-
dent, and w. A. Waterman, cash
Ter. George Waterman is presi-
dent of the four suspended Idaho
banks.
Closing the banks came as a
surprise to the general public in
his district, as there was con-
fidence in the strength of the
Waterman institutions. So far
as can be learned, the integrity
of the men in control is not
questioned, the failures being
ascribed solely to bad business
judgment.
The deposits of the Fidelity
State Bank are $150,000. B. r
Schmit is the cashier.
The State Bank of Kamiah has
$3.50, 900 on deposit and the cash
ier is Ward Dempsey.
The deposits of the State Banl
of Kooskia reach $195. 900. F. f
Quist is cashier.
The deposits of the State Banl
of Peck are $65. 900. ]. A. Hag
genmiller is cashier.
Reports from the localities af
fected are that the citizens al,
accepting the situation with pa
tience, and appreciation is being
expressed as to the promptness
with which the state is acting.

According to the new law,
governing city elections other
candidates may be placed in the
field by petition, which must
contain the names of 10 qualified
electors and must be filed not
more than 80 days and not less

A nominee may resign within

While the position of city
