NEW CAPITOL
READY DEC. |
Contractors Assure Governor
DCTagEey that their WOrk
will be finished on

Little Rock-Goveruor Donaghey
saws that since bis return to the
city from a campaigning trip
through western Arkansas he has
had conference with the new state
capitol contractors and that they
had assured him positively that
their contract will be completed by
Dece mber l. He was also inform
ed IT, Vt all the stone on the new
dome will be in place by October
l an, that all the plastering and
mari work on the interior will
also he completed by that time.
The governor reiterated his de-
claration to the effect that the next
Legislature will meet In the new
capitol.
When asked about the report
that the legislature would convene
in the new building and return to
the old capitol to complete the
session, the Governor replied, "Thst
depends upon what is done with
the iheating and lighting problem.
You know we have no appropria-
ton for permanent heating or
lighting plant. The tempory light
ing can be secured without much
trouble, but the heating question is
a serious one. A temporary steam
heating system might be installed
or stoves might be put up tempo
rarlly. However stoves would in
jure TIE beauty of the interior and
might damage the ceilings and
walls. Then too, | have thought
of securing some sort of temporary
electricical heating system. That
remains to be worked out. If the
proper temporary heating system
can be put in, the legislature will
be there the entire session. Every
thing else in the building will be
ready"
All of the stone for the dome is
to be delivered by September Is.
Twenty carloads of stone will then,
be received for the front steps and
200, 900 brick and 200 cubic yards
of concrete for the same purpose.
All of this material is to be on the
ground so that the men now engag.
ed on the dome can go to work on
the steps as the dome is finished
The wood work and painting is
to be completed by December /.
That will be the last work on the
interior.
Hardwood and tile floors are
now being laid. The stairway
would have been completed by
this time if some of the marble
had not been lacking.

Day.
FASTEST GAME OF THE YEA

Omaha High school defeated Genoa High
school by a score of % to II at the Young
Mems Christian association gymnasium
Thursday night in one Of the fastest
and hardest contested basket ball games
seen this year. Both teams showed good
teamwork, the Omaha boy often getting
the ball down into the enemy's territory.
They were watched too closely by Genoa's
guards to get a free throw for the basket.
Captain Wake of Genoa did star work all
through the game, preventing scoring by
Omaha, breaking into the home teams
plays and sending the ball bach towards
his own goal. Willard, the little left for
ward of Genoa, was almost sure on his
goal throwing and played a steady game
all through.
Omaha's teamwork was perhaps a little
below that OF the visitors and it was the
individual work Of its players that saved
1t the game. Captain Burdick was the star,
as he threw his goals and was the only
man of the Omaha five VINO seemed to
know where he was putting the ball before
he let go of it. On defensive work he and
Trimble broke up many or the enemy's
plays Just in time to prevent a goal.
Genoa Scores First.
In the first half Genoa made a score after
a few minutes of play, but was not able
to make another all through the half, ex-
cept on free throws as penalties for
omaha's holding. Before the half was over
Omaha had got in thirteen points. Score
Omaha, IS; Genoa, s.
In the second half Genoa took a strong
brace ana for a time it looked as If the
tables might be turned, but Omaha, after
being strengthened by Rector, braced up
and, with the good work of Trlmble, Bur-
dick and Finley, was able to keep the score
a tie for the half.
Considerable feeling was shown toward
the referee by some Of the Omaha rooters
because about half of Genoa's scores were
made on free throws allowed to Genoa as
penalties to Omaha.
Score of second half: Omaha, II; Ge-
noa, ~.
