dining room decorated to remind the
banqueters of mines and shelters and
good fellowship, and the speakers
keeping ever before them the recent
act which makes them now a state,
from the time the gayly dressed men
and women entered at $3.50 o'clock un
til late hour those present enjoyed
themselves as only Arizonans can.
From a pillar in front of the speak

but not unfurled. At a given time
1t was flung out over the speakers
table and on 1t was seen q huge gold
star with the number "47," symbolic

Union.
Behind the speakers table, in let
ters of gold worked out with amber
colored electric lights, was the word
