I Last Monday night April 19. Wood
 men of the World Of Phoenix at Camp l No. 5, succeeded more gloriously than 1 any one had hoped for and the 300 or 1 more that were present were delighted asd many so expressed themselves. l The program lasted from D. rn. until
 d quarter past midnight. However, a l large number leaving about Il D. m..
 as that ended the principal evenings work of music, addresses, selling of the bonds and at the banquet table

 crowd repaired to the dining room to
 partake of the spread. After this
 ended many went home, while other
 remained to enjoy the music and to
 amuse themselves otherwise.
 The evening was most successful and
 inspiring and the. membership of the
 camp feel wonderfully enthused and
 will be erected in due time at 502 E..

 and time and place would fail to men
 tion many things worthy that was said
 on that occasion. but all that took part
 showed great enthusiasm in the cause.
 Governor Campbell gave some hard
 blows in favor of the building, also
 Hon. Mir. Plunkett followed in the
 same spirit and Judge Stanford seemed
 to be the most optimistic man on the floor, saying the foundation ought to
 be laid so strong that the building
 could be raised to the fifteenth story
 as in the near future. not to exceed five years, the city would be 100 900 in population and still growing and that
 would be in the downtown district where tall buildings would be in de- mand. And many of us agree with him. MT. Stockton showed himself al ease and equal to the occasion in pre- senting the sale of the bonds.
 One pleasant event in the closing scene of those who remained till the last. Mrs. E. R. Pryor, wife Of the popular clerk of Camp 5, presented those present with large cake. It was sold and brought in the neighborhood of $25, and the money given to the ladies division of Woodcraft that are doing such fine work in this city
