The Idaho Trust Company.

Mr. E. T. Staples, who has been spending several weeks at the placer diggings 
on the middle fork of the Boise river, returned to Payette the first of the 
week and is now fitting up offices of the Idaho Trust Company in the Payette 
Valley Bank building.  This company was incorporated some time ago, with the 
following directors:  W. A. Coughanour, A. B. Moss, J. J. Toole, Peter Pence, 
J. J. Rogers, E. T. Staples and W. A. Cooper, of Payette; Hon. S. D. Leavitt, 
of Eastport, Me., mayor of that city, Hon. Geo. H. Wing, of Ashburn, Me., 
president of the National Shoe and Leather bank of that city, and Hon. Chas. P. 
Rugg, of New Bedford, Mass.

The officers of the company are: President, W. A. Coughanour, the well known 
capitalist of Payette; vice-president, E. T. Staples, who formerly resided in 
eastern Nebraska, where he was engaged in the banking business; secretary, W. 
A. Cooper, formerly of Brookline, Mass., where he was associated with the R. G. 
Dun Commercial agency.

Mr. Staples informs us that he will now devote his entire attention to the 
business of the Idaho Trust Company.  He is of the opinion that should Payette 
become the permanent county seat of Canyon county, it would be only a question 
of a short time when means could be secured with which to build a line of 
railroad up the Payette valley into the lumber and mining districts.  In any 
event the company expects to succeed in attracting a large amount of capital to 
this portion of Idaho.
