| FROM THE X
CAPITAL CITY t
I II M I I t I t M I I I I I I I M m t t
Little Rock, Dec. 30.—Weather,
good or bad, now makes no dif
ference to the working force on the
Capital Hotel, who are rushing the
remodeling to completion, and by
the middle of next month the three
upper floors will be ready for fur
nishing. There is now working
on the building the largest force ot
artisans ever working together on
one building in Little Rock, but
even with all these the building
will hardly be ready for occupancy
before the first of February. The
upper floors are now in the hands
of the paper hangers, decoraters
and painters. It was hoped by
the company which is rebuilding
the Capital, to have it ready by
the first of the year and when it
was seen this was impossible, by
the opening of the general assembly
but this too is impractical and
February 1, is now definitely set
tied as the date for the opening.
After the first of the year, K. P.
Bacon, supervising engineer in
charge of the construction of gov
ernment buildings in this state,
will move his headquarters from
Pine Bluff to Little Rock. He
will personally supervise the work
on the post office annex here, the
concrete work on the basement of
which was started yesterday after
noon. Supervisor Bacon is also
looking after the work on the
postoffice building at Pine Bluff.
Starting at the bottonin the com
posing room of the Gazette eigh
teen years ago, William M. Moore
worked his way upward, and ten
years ago, when Fred W. Alsopp
was made the business manager,
he was elevated to foreman, a posi
tion he held constantly ever since.
He was elected county assessor at
the recent election, and January
i, iyog, severs his connection
with the paper to open an office iu
the county court house.
At a meeting of the State Ath
ltic Association yesterdayafternoon
the rules were amended so the
colleges may arrange their base ball
schedules entirely independent of
the high schools, which is consid
ered by many to be a long step
toward the upbuilding of the na
tional game in the state colleges.
