that within sixty days there will be
opened in Phoenix at jefferson street
and Central avenue, one of the finest
and completest commercial hotels in
the southwest. The name of this
magnificent new hotel is the Jeffer-
son. 1t is the highest in the state,
having a basement, six main stories
and a roof garden which will be en-
tirely covered with a secondary roof.

With decorations that turned the
armory building into an attractive
bower and an up to date dance han.
the first military ball, to be given by
the two national guard companies of
Phoenix, successfully competed with
the many other attractions, and de-
lighted the huge crowd that assembled
at nine o'clock last night, to trip the
light fantastic.
The armory building, which was
formerly an amusement place. has
through the individual efforts of the
members of the companies, been re-
modelled, to make a thoroughly eff
cient recreation and drilling place for
the men. Last night, to add to the
attractiveness of the place, decorations
of large American flags, were fes-
TONED from the Orders. In the rear
the committee on decorations had
erected four large service tents, each
decorated with a company flag to be
used as coy corners, in which the
tired dancers could rest between
dances.
In the center of the floor had been
placed the orchestra stand, surround
ed with palms, and a decoration of
flags.
Twenty dances were numbered on
| the program, including several extras.

Stacy led the grand march. Military
music was furnished for two dances.
