PLANS FOR RECEPTION
Special Train Will Bring the Vol
upteers Home From Butte.
ALL BUSINESS WILL STOP
Anaconda Business Houses to Close
Monday So That Everyone May At
tend the Big Reception to the
Soldiers at Butte.

1t has been arranged that a special
train will bring the Anaconda volun-
teers home from Butte on Tuesday
next. No expense will be spared by
the local committee to make the re-
ception here an event that will live for
ever in the history of the city.
The lunch that will be given the boys
will be a delicious one. There will
be enough good things to feed an army.
Orders were sent to Butte yesterday
by Anaconda merchants who will pur-
chase all the flags and decorations
available. Many are of the opinion
that fireworks are scarce in Butte, as
the people there have purchased all the
stock. There will be some fireworks
in town and they should be bought on
Saturday, for yesterday it was prac-
tically decided that all the stores
would be closed on Monday to allow
everybody to attend the big reception
at Butte. Mayor Madden has issued
no proclamation, but when asked
about the closing of the stores, he
said
II did not issue any proclamation be-
cause 1 didn't think it would be nee
essary. Nearly all stores have prom
ised to close and the promise Of the
merchants is sufficient"
II is thought that most of the stores
will close Tuesday also.
Following are business houses
which have promised to close their
places on Monday in order to give their
employees an opportunity of going TO
Butte to witness the grand demonstra-
ton:
