In the history # the globe, and reser'
vations have been made for the entire

The stadium has the largest seating
capacity Of any arena ever constructed
IN modern history, and in its advan-

progress it vies with the great auphi
theaters of ancient times. II wiz &C

Pacific States company is carrying
the war into the enemy's country
The fight started at Vollmer. where
the local company had a practical
monopoly on the business.
The cooperative company does not

buy their own instruments and that

center They have submitted a propo-
sition TO the subscribers OF the farm

They offer to bring the lines into the

charges are made for 20 cents a
month. This will enable the farm
ers to secure connection with almost
1000 phones for the cost OF 20 cents
month. The farmers must main
tain their own line. but the switching
cost is set lower than the offer OF the
cooperative company. which Is will
ing to give the same service for 25
cents a month.
The cooperative company has an
advantage. as they offer an all-nighi

FORM BAR ASSOCIATION
Attorneys Hold Meeting for Purpose
of Organizing.

- OA8eaAAAAA8s
Members of the Kootenai county
bar met last Saturday evening at the
law Offices of Sanders & Flynn for
the purpose of organizing a county
bar association.
Owing to the fact that there were
a number of committee meetings,
the committees being composed OF
members of the bar, the attendance
was comparatively small. The COM
mittee appointed to draft a constitu-
ton and bylaws reported. The con-
stitutiOn and bylaws, after a few
changes were made, were accepted.
No election of officers was had. as It
was thought best to postpone this
until another meeting, when more of
the attorneys could be in attendance.
The officers to be elected are a presi-
dent, vice president, secretary and
treasurer. A meeting will be held at
the same Offices Saturday evening,
ana at this time the officers Will be
elected.
The association is to be known as
the Kootenai County Bar association.
The purpose Of the association. as set
forth in the preamble of the consti-
tuition, are: ITO cultivate and ad-
vance the science of Jurisprudence;
to promote reforms in the law and
in judicial procedure; to facilitate
the administration of justice in this
county and state; and to uphold and
elevate the standard of honor, integ-
rity and courtesy of the legal pro-
fession. Amy member OF good stand
ing before the bar may become a
