THE ANACONDA STANDARD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 1021 II BUnE PREPARES -71 TWO DAYS ONLY IS 8 IE IK Starting HOME IS WRECKED BT 1 EXPL05I1 i I 1 '-III "Grandma," -Widely Known, -Beloved Butte foe More Than 40 Years. Butte's grand old lady, Mrs. Ruth Burton, is dead. The end came peacefully at the home of her old friend, Mrs. Robert Martin, 617 South Montana street, at 8 o'clock yesterday morning.

Death was due to gradual succumbing to the infirmities, of old age and occurred during a period of unconsciousness. Mrs. Burton was 83 years of age. A resident of Butte for more than 40 years, no woman- was more widely known in both city and state or had more friends than Mrs. Burton.

For years she had been affectionately known as "Grandma" by both young and old. Whether she mingled with the members of the Woman's Relief corps, of which she was one of the charter members, with the Eastern Star, with the Society of Pioneers or with the old Newsboys' club she was "Grandma" to every one and she was proud of that title. Every one who knew her lover Mrs. Burton. Mrs.vBurton had been in rather poor Skalkaho Trail Blazers Will Arrive 300 Strong Early Saturday Evening.

The Skalkaho trail blazers, 300 or more of them, will invade Butte early Saturday evening. When the' Mining cify says "adios" this evening and tomorrow to the hundreds of visitors here for the joint encampment of the G. A. R. and Spanish war- veterans, it will begin active preparations to welcome the Garden City and Bitter Root delegations which will come by automobile over the new Skalkaho highway Saturday.

The atjtocade which will make the journey over the new highway will make history. It marks the beginning of a new era in the relationship between great and rich domains in Western Montana. The productive Bitter Root valley, with the completion of the $325,000 highway, becomes adjacent to two of the chief markets in the state Butte and Anaconda. To celebrate the event, the Butte Chamber of Commerce invited the Missoula and Hamilton boosters to come to Butte next Saturday for a tri-city Jubilee. The visitors are expected to arrive in Butte about 6:30 p.

m. Saturday. They will park their cars on Gedrge Belin Bungalow Scene of Mysterious Blowup and Fire. Unoccupied. An explosion from causes yet undetermined resulted in the destruction of the five-room bungalow of George Belin, 2408 Argyle street, early yesterday morning.

There- was no one in the house at the time of the explosion. Mr. Belin is out of town, while Mrs. Belin with her two children left for Brown's gulch Saturday on a vacation.

The furniture and building, which were, totally destroyed, were estimated at about $5,000. It was not learned if the loss was covered by insurance. John S. Wulff, Butte real" estate man, is agent for the Belins and announced last night that he would turn the matter over to the Pacific coast adjustment bureau- for investigation. No damage resulted to neighboring honies from the plaster that Was blown several feet in all directions.

Diners in some of Butte's restaurants couldn't even do that yesterday, for the bread ration was missing all around. It was the first time Butte felt the effects of bakers' strike which started yesterday morning. However, it will be short lived, for tomorrow morning every one of 17 bakeshops will function with the master, bakers feeding the ovens. Many Butte folks were confirmed cracker eaters yesterday when their favorite grocery store or bakery reported no bread. In places where the housewife does her own baking, everything was normal.

All of the restaurants managed to keep some sandwich bread on hand. It was thin though when it reached the table, but with little more filler made up for the "step-mother" slices. Where sandwich-bread was available at all the supply was absorbed so quickly that it only lasted a short time. Most of the grocery stores reported that they were "out early in the morning." Two bakeries did business, but their supply failed to bring bread to every one a good sized city. The strike situation stands the same.

Bakers are out because owners retuse to grant them $1 a day raise.
