PROMISE CAPITOL
 COMPLETION DEC. 1
SAY STATE s NEW HOME WILL BE
 READY THEN.

Little Rock, March 7.-"By Decem- Der 1 we will be ready to pack up all our tools and move out, leaving the capitol finished building, so far as our contract is concerned" remarked the superintendent of William Miller & Sons Co. this morning, "and within week our work will begin to show up in great shape" The bricklayers will this week begin putting the par tition walls in the basement, and that work should be we'll along by the end of the week. The partitions in the I orth wing of the first floor are all
 in and ready for the plasterers. The str ps for the floors are also in these rooms and the contractors can com mence to pour the additional four inches of concrete which goes between the strips before the week has closed.
 On tl.e roof the timers are still working, getting the small domes m readiness for the glass. The contrac- tors who are finishing the roof are we'll along with their work toe. On top of the concrete they have placed layer of tar paper and covered this with a coating of pitch. On ,op of the whole, bedded in pitch, layer of tiling is being placed, which gives a smooth roof, and one which will last and be waterproof for many years. Governor Donaghey has been asked to allow the marble eagle, presented to him by James MoIlrcy and other citi- zens of Fayetteville, on the top of the stone dome He declined, saying 1t would not look as big as a sparrow at that great height, and he will put it il one of the niches in the hall, where it can be seen.
