STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting Of Governor and Council
Friday, Dec. is, at 10 A. M.

y question which IS of general inter-
est at the present time, and one to
which no one can give Il definite answer
IS: When will the new State House be
ready for occupancy?" 1t has got to be
ready within three weeks and probably
VIII be, but Just what that date will be
| cannot be said
SO lar as the exterior of the building is
concerned everything has been compet-
cd with the exception of putting on the
hnlsnlng touches, which includes the
electric lighting arrangements between
the main entrance of the building and
| state street Men are working on these
| and they will be completed within q day
| or two.
Where the workmcn are the busiest
however is in the interior, not in any
| particular portion of the building but all
over 1T, from the basement to the dome.
The structural work Is completed with
| the exception of q few minor details,
and these are being carried ahead to
| completion as rapidly as possible.
| Among the busiest workmen to be
| found in the capitol are the painters. as
it Is their work that brings about in a
way the finished structure, ana they are
| making things move IN great shape,
/
| parts OF the building rs tho lighting
| fixtures have been installed.
| Another squad of workmen is at work
| on the floors Of the corridors where mar
/ bic thing has been Laid. rubbing them
down and finishing off so that they will
be perfectly smooth. Quite an amount
| of work is also being done on the rotun-
da floor in the way of changing the mo-
|
side Of the approach to the main stair
| way. It will be remembered that around
| the base of each column was 4 square
| in red, black and white, which served
| to set off the rest of the thing of the
floor, which was laid in white, with
| small figures in red and black at inter-
walls. The colorcd blocks about the bases
| of the pillars have been taken up and
| are being replaced by white.
The men in charge of the work of in
stalling the lighting fixtures are pushing
their work as fast as possible. but there
| is a lot TO do and probably another
week or more will pass before every
thing in that line is in readiness.
H Another question in connection with
Y the new building is regarding the tim"
on which the departments will he moved
into their new quarters. The state libra
II ~ and the pension office have been
u transferred from the old part of. the
| building to the new and some Of the fit
| tngs of the office of the secretary OF
state are in transit, with prospect of
that official being located in HI new
! quarters in perhaps q week or ten days.
But outside of the departments men,
toned the problem of moving is depend
ont ,uoon q number of conditions.
One OF the results of the law enacted
bv the Legislature which provides for
the payment OF 4 bounty of - for cacH
hob-cat killed in the state IS that the
administration is doing quito business
this year in the purchase of fur, not in
large lots at q time, for q bob cat tai
js not q very large article, ana theF
come along in tWos and thrces, but the
lots keep coming and by the end OF the
wear they win amount to considerable
From Information received at the ish
and game department, where the tails
land on their Journey from the WIDER
ness to civilization, it is learned that up
to Wednesday noon the number which
had been received during the year was
