There have been 11 forest fires in the Deer Lodge forest this season was announced at forestry headquarters here Thursday. That the statement made by Fred Morrell, district forester at Missoula, that there is still grave danger of destructive fires this season, applies to the Deer Lodge forest, was stated by Miss Olive Leaf, temporarily in charge of the local office. Prompt public co-operation in handling the fires that have occurred was wholly responsible for preventing great destruction in the fires that have occurred, she said. The choicest camping spots in the Deer Lodge area have been destroyed, Miss Leaf stated. ### Carelessness Cause. Of the 11 fires that have occurred in this district, seven were caused by careless persons. Six of these were campers and one was a brush burner. Four fires were caused by lightning. The fire record in this district is not as favorable as it was last year and this is due principally to the extremely dry conditions of the forests. ### Urges Precautions. Mr. Morrell in his statement urged extreme precautions in preventing fires during August. If the dry condition continues, the danger of fires is very great, he states. "It is no time to relax effort to prevent fires, but rather a time to increase care and vigilance," he said. # *Skull of Unknown Woman Is Returned to Boulder* Dr. T. B. Anderson, having failed to notify police headquarters here officially as to whether he has identified dental work on the skull of the woman whose skeleton was found near Basin last month, Chief of Police Murphy yesterday forwarded the skull to Sheriff John Mountjoy of Boulder, and it probably will be buried with the other remains of the woman. The local police have been attempting to establish the fact that the bones found near Boulder are those of Mrs. Ernest LaCasse; who mysteriously disappeared in 1921. In the event that this could be accomplished, charges, according to the police, would be brought against C. C. Skidmore, now said to be in a Colorado penitentiary. Despite the fact that it is more than a month since the skull was sent to Dr. Anderson, he has made no report on his findings, and with the return of the skull to Boulder the case has been dropped temporarily, it is thought, by the police. # *Butte Boy Will Return To Give Concert Here* Joseph Andrews, formerly of Butte and for some time soloist with the A. C. M. band, who is now with the Elliston & White Chautauqua company, and who is en route from concert tours in California, has been engaged to give a program in Butte in the near future, according to an announcement made yesterday. Mr. Andrews will be supported in the program, which will be presented at the Mountain View Methodist church some time this month, by some of the best musical talent in the city. Since early days in this city Mr. Andrews has studied music under some of the recognized leaders in the world of music. # *Elks Plan Annual Picnic At Basin Creek Aug. 17* The Elks' annual picnic will be held at the Basin Creek reservoir on August 17, it was decided at a meeting of the lodge last night. Committees were appointed to prepare a program of sports and entertainment for the outing. Plans for the new Elks' temple were also discussed, and it was announced that contractors' bids on general contracting, plumbing and heating would be opened on August 11 by the building committee.

That is why the **Baker-izing Process** gives all of the desirable flavor in the cup (and leaves in the grounds all you don't want)—besides, giving you more cups full strength to the pound. # Barrington Hall # Coffee *Vacuum Packed* *In 1, 2, 3, 5-lb.

A computation shows that the average age of men applying for licenses during the month was 30, while the average for their prospective brides was 25. Few men marry at an early age nowadays, it is indicated, with only one man under the age of 20 applying for a license during the month. Neither is the percentage of girls marrying in their teens as great as might be expected, with but 11 of the 69 listing themselves as under 20. A few of those applying for licenses are reticent about making known their ages, but the great majority have no scruples in the matter, although it is doubted whether the correct ages are given in every instance, particularly by those of the fairer sex. The oldest couple to secure a license was composed of a man 48 years of age, who intended to lead to the altar a widow aged 44, neither of whom objected to revealing their years. While a number of those filling out applications for marriage licenses refused to state whether they had been previously married, 14 of both sexes admitted that they were seeking matrimonial happiness for the second time after obtaining divorces from their former spouses. Whether by design or coincidence, the big majority of divorcees chose as their mates persons who, like themselves, had previously experienced the trials of married life. Both contracting parties of four couples who sought to be married listed themselves as divorcees, leaving but six divorcees during the month who entered the married state with partners over whom they had the advantage of previous experience. For various reasons a few of those applying for licenses do not wish to have the fa[c?]t published, while others are anxious to have their friends know of their action. # *Funeral Services Held For John James Morgan* The funeral of John James Morgan was held yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the residence of the family, 905 Empire street. Rev. Charles F. Chapman conducted the services, and burial was in Mount Moriah cemetery. Mr. Morgan was an old and well known resident of the city, and his funeral was well attended. ### MRS. JENNIE GILLESPIE. Mrs. Jennie Gillespie died yesterday morning at a local hospital in her fifty-eighth year. The body is at the Richards funeral home, where the funeral will be held at a time to be announced later. Mrs. Gillespie had no relatives in Butte. She is believed to have a brother, but he has not yet been located. She had been a resident of Butte for a number of years, and had many friends here. At one time she was the proprietress of a rooming house in the city. At the time of her death she was living at the Almira apartments. # *Ford Coupe Is Totally Wrecked in Collision* In an automobile collision at the intersection of Montana and Mercury streets at 10:30 o'clock last night a Ford coupe, piloted by R. C. Hudson, was totally wrecked when a Hudson touring car, driven by D. A. Threlkeld, crashed into its rear end. Threlkeld was booked last night at the city jail on a charge of reckless driving and of intoxication. Hudson is booked as the complaining witness. No casualties resulted from the accident. Hudson had just completed the turn on Montana street from West Mercury street and was proceeding south when the machine driven by Threlkeld, according to the story told by the officer, struck his automobile. Threlkeld then is alleged to have sped down Montana street and to have disappeared, taking an easterly route over Silver street. The machine, however, was discovered by officers a few minutes later parked near a soft-drink parlor on South Main street, where its driver was placed under arrest. The front end of Threlkeld's machine was severely damaged. [the Baker-ized advertisement continues beneath, across columns 6-7] ## Column 8 # BUTTE CONTRACTOR GETS HIGHWAY JOB ## L. T. Lawler Is Successful Bidder for Extensive Road Building. HELENA, July 31.—To L. T. Lawler, of Butte, was on Thursday awarded contracts for the construction of about three miles of standard highway through the Yankee Jim canyon along the Yellowstone river between Livingston and the entrance to the Yellowstone National park at Gardiner. The contracts were awarded at a joint meeting of the state highway commission and engineers of the United States bureau of public roads, who are participating in the construction of this piece of road. By the highway commission was awarded the contract for the construction of a federal aid stretch of road 1.93 miles in length, known as the Carbella section of the Yellowstone canyon road. This went to Lawler at $19.922.40 [sic], and must be completed by November 1, 1924. By the bureau of federal roads, representing the forest service, was awarded the contract for a nine-tenths mile stretch immediately adjoining the piece let by the highway commission. This latter stretch consists of very heavy rock work in the Yankee Jim canyon. Lawler's bid on this contract was $52,175.70, making a total of $72,098.10 for the two pieces of work. ### WANT BIDS. HELENA, July 31.—Bids for the construction of a 3½ mile section of the Belton-Glacier Park Forest highway will be received by the United States bureau of public roads at Missoula August 22, according to an announcement by engineers of the bureau at a meeting of the state highway commission, Thursday. This piece of work, which is estimated to cost $100,000. is an extension eastward from the present terminus of the new highway lying between Nyack and Garry on the southern boundary of the Glacier National park. The proposed work is expected to be completed about the middle of next summer. On the preceding day, August 21, at Helena, bids will be jointly received by the bureau of public roads and the state highway commission for the construction of the Kibbey canyon extension in Cascade county. This is a piece of work nine miles in length which will connect the Kibbey canyon road built by the forest service, with the Armington-Riceville federal aid road. For this there is available $75,000 of forest money, $10,000 of federal aid money, and $15,000 county money. # Personal Notes R. E. Matson of Bozeman is a guest at the Butte. W. C.

Control work carried on by the California State Highway commission against the cypress bark scale demonstrates that the method of control recommended by the Palo Alto Laboratory of the Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agriculture, is a success. Large cypress trees numbering 124 were sprayed with a mixture composed of eight gallons of 28 degrees gravity miscible oil, one gallon of creosol soap spreader and 91 gallons of water. Eighteen months after the spraying repeated examinations have failed to disclose a single living scale. Unsprayed trees in the vicinity used as checks are heavily infested.
