the visitors. A well-planned recep- tion is to be held at the Masonic hall at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday, the first day of the celebration, and another will be held at the Shrine Temple at the same hour the following day. Extra efforts are to be made to entertain the fami- lies of the visiting members in ways different from that of the reception, so that their stay in Phoenix will be as pleasant as it will be possible to make it.
 The ceremonial and dedicatory work will begin at 9:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, February 22, when the Shriners will meet at the temple. The novices will report at 10 o'clock. The first section of the iniatory work will start at 2:3O o'clock in the afternoon, at which hour the dedicatory service will also get under way.
 Banquet, Parade and Ball
 At 5:30 o'clock in the evening there will be feed for the Shriners and the novices, and ' o'clock there will be an elaborate Shrine parade which will start from the Overland automo- bile headquarters at Washington street and Fourth avenue; at 8:3O o'clock the second section of the in itiatory will start.
 A reception for the ladies will fea- ture the next afternoon, beginning at 2:3O o'clock, and then, in the evening, will come the grand ball. Imperial Potentate Garretson will lead the grand march. This ball is to be strictly for members of the Shrine and their families, and Phoenix mem- bers will be allowed to bring only one lady with them. This affair is being outlined as the chief social event of the entire year, and is planned to bring the work of the two days to a fitting conclusion.
 To insure proper and sufficient ac- commodations for all the visitors, the Shrine housing committee will make a thorough canvass of the city for rooms and in addition to these and the accommodations at the hotels there will be several Pullmans brought in from the larger cities of the state to assist in taking care of the crowds.
 The railroad companies have auth orized special rate of fare and a half for the occasion, on the certifi- cate plan. Under this arrangement the visiting members and novices will purchase one-way ticket to Phoenix, obtaining at the time of purchase a receipt. Arrived in Phoenix, he will present this receipt to the Shrine re- corder at the Masonic hall, who will then secure half-fare return rate.
 The completion of the new Shrine temple at cost of $150,000 marks the fulfillment of the fondest dream of he lodge in Arizona.
