At present Attorney Hooker is the only occupant of these commodious offices, but other professional men are considering quarters there.
 MT. Hooker has heretofore maintain ed his. law office at his residence on Chase Creek, not being able to find suitable quarters until the erection, of this building. The reporter found him busy in preparing ; some legal instrument on arrival, but he. stopped his work long enough to express his pleasure in securing such comfortable quarters in which to receive his eli ents. He said that his professional business had materially increased since he moved down town, and while his court house practice was not talk ing the greater portion of his time, yet his office practice was most satis- factory, as new clients are visiting his office almost daily.
 MT. Hooker was admitted to the bar in Texas in 1893, and engaged in the professional practice of the legal pro- fession in that state for several years. At one time he was associated with Hon. Lewis Bryan, one of the strong l lawyers of that state, who is recog- | niZed both as an able lawyer and popular public man, not only of Hous- 1 ten, where he now resides but all over south and central Texas.

 While MT. Hoker was associated in the pra actice of law with Lewis Bryan he was located in Velasco, Texas, one of the new towns on the gulf coast during the latter eighties. Afterwards abandoning the law and engaging in the mercantile business in that city ..

NEW BANK OFFICES
 .WELL APPOINTED

In going the rounds this week the Copper Era man dropped into the law offices: of Attorney c. Hooker, who is Snugly located in the north west front room of the new Peoples Bank & Trust company offices, on the second floor of that building.
 To visit these offices is refreshing, as everything is spick and span, neat as pin, with perfectly modern ap- pointments throughout. la the de- sign of this modern office building convenience was the plan in the mind of the architect. The light is the best, the offices have high ceilings and are Toomy. One does not feel that "stuf- fly, ,cramped feeling that is experi- eenced in visiting many places where professional men have their quarters, and where patients and clients have to remain in waiting at times. In some instances patients and clients leave and hunt others to diagnose stheir complaints or brief their cases because of the unwholeSome atmos phere encountered while awaiting their turn.
 Nothing like that in this building If one rhou'd have to wait here the ii 10 vii nass agTeeably, because oi tho r1ea sant surroundings. In fact th0 time will pass quickly with 8 b~-'5 or companion to entertain one wife waiting, as the refreshing at nosphere there will make one want tC 1in2er, and regret that the time Snent was so short.

ing for permits to use German in religi-
GUS services. Most of these came from
German congregations, which the Coun

language and the subject was left to the
executive committee Of which George
w. Wright, of Huron, is chairman, with
power to grant permit in extreme cases
where recommended by the County
Council of Defense and the local author
tiles where the congregation sits.
The Council also declined to extend
