Special Correspondence to THE HERALD.
PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 23.-Arizons
has q new capitol building, located al
Phoenix, the capital. The superb
structure is q monument to the Lahore
of Texas men, and its completion il
regarded ss another step toward state
hood. Dedication ceremoni ed will
probably be deferred until the next
session of the legislature which con-
venes during the coming winter. but
the building is now ready for occu
psncy. Secretary Charles b. Akers
has moved into bis new quarters and
he hoisted q flag during impressive
ceremonies. Governor N. o. Murphy
and other territorial officials viii be
installed in their new quarters within
few weeks.
The territorial legislature four years
ago appropriated SlO0, 900 for the con
ssructiOn OF the capitol. The amour.
was supplemented by Q s25, 600 appro-
priaiion by the following legislature
and construction was carried out ac-
cording to plans drawn by J, Riley
Gordon of San Antonio, Tex, which
were accepted in q $500 prize contest.
The completed structure planned by
Mr.. Gordon calls for an expenditure
of about $3.50, GOO. The present build
ing presents a finished appearance, but
it is constructed in such q manner that
wings and additions may be annexed
when necessary without destroying
the symmetry.
The material used IL almost entir ely

Is patterned after one of the five
classes of Ionio-Grecisn architecture
and ls an example of architectural
beauty. 1t is fire proof and has an ex-
terror of stoue. The foundation is of

Northern Arizona, is the material u.s.
ed In the super-structure. The stone
capitol is surrounded by q magnificent
park, laid out several years ago in
anticipation of the erection of q capitol
building as that site.
The belief that the new building
will assist this territory in attaining

sion of various other territories which
