SAVES LIFE BY BRAVE FEAT.
Charles Albright Crawls 270 Feet In
Drain Pipe to Rescue Fellow
Worker

Great Falls.-Crawling 270 feet
through 34-inch concrete drain pipe
used as the culvert in Red coulee, on
the Milwaukee railway, where the fill
of 100 feet had slid over one and
closed it, Charles Albright, 20 years
old, made himself a hero by saving the
life of Ben Ross, who had entered the
pipe to place charge of dynamite to
help locate the end of the pipe that
1t might be mined out"
Ross was overcome by gas and had
been in the pipe for five hours when
rescued, and while he is in a precari-
Gus condition, physicians say he will
recover.
Albright wore the flesh of his ell
bows and knees entirely to the bone,
and when Ross was dragged free of
the tunnel it was found the $50 feet
drag had torn the hair and flesh from
his skull. Old-timers declare All
bright's feat is the bravest ever &C
complished in Montana. A special
train was sent from here to carry as
sistance and bring Ross to the hos
pital.

MissouIa Ball Park Burns. {

Missoula.-Campbell park, where the
fans of Missoula have been accus.
toned to quench their thirst for the
national pastime in years gone by, was
destroyed by fire. Nothing remains OF
the grand stand and part of the bleach
ers but a charred skeleton. The origin
of the fire canont be ascertained. The
alarm was telephoned to the station
by an unknown person and when the
department reached the scene there
was no one around. Tramps have
been in the habit of making their abode
in the shelter of the grand stand and
it is thought that the fire was started
in some manner by one of them.
The park had been the scene of all
the baseball battles that Missoula has
seen of late years. 1t was built by
public subscription and is total loss,

ent of the Anti-Saloon League of Mon.

ATTENDED meeting of the executive
committee in Butte. After receiving
reports from all portions of the state.
1t was decided to Immediately launch
q campaign to secure a vote on state
wide prohibition of the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors in Mon
tana at the general election in 1916.
County and precinct organizations
will be formed and 1916 clubs" will
be organized in every community for
the purpose of carrying out the cam
Spaign. The slogan will be vote Mon
tana Dry in 1916"
Regarding the organizations plans
Mr.. Pope said:
I'VE shall doubtless ask the legis-
lature to pass a joint resolution, pro-
viding for constitutional amendment,
to be submitted to the electors in the
1916 campaign, which, If adopted, as
i am sure it will be, will effectively
wipe out the crime of the liquor traf-
f1c that has long blighted our fair
state. If the legislature refuse to
carry out our program we shall initi-
ate the BILL We have some of the fin
est men in the state back of this move
ment, and it is the prediction of keen
observers of public sentiment that pro-
hibition will carry by big majority.
An ex-state senator puts the majority
at 10000.
During the past four months have
Travelled over two-thirds Of the state,
delivered addresses in great many
localities, conyersed with people repre-
senting all interests, respecting the
liquor traffic, and in almost every in
stance there has been an unqualified
opinion that Montana will vote dry. |
/ have discussed this question with
politicians, lawyers, merchants, real
estate men, bankers, farmers, saloon
men, bartenders and laborers, to many |
of whom l was stranger, and the
opinion has been that
the time has come to follow the lead

4 UCKED away in the very heart
Of central Europe. where the
vast armies Of half a dozen ma
lions are fighting the biggest

war IN history, Is one OF the
smallest and strangest territories in
he world, known officially as the Neu-
raj Territory Of Moresnet. An encir-
cling ridge Of high mountains verita-
by buries it from neighboring civili-
sation aud culture and leaves 1t in a
little world OF its own. But 1t is not
10 strange. 1t is the fact that, for
nearly a century, the Inhabitants have
lever experienced the feeling of being
ander the rule Of an emperor, king or
president. They are independent, gov
srned by no one, at liberty to do as
they please, for, after the Vienna con-
gress Of 1915 Moresnet was granted
IN Independent constitution, guaran-
!eed by Prussia and Belgium. Only
~ square miles in extent its land
worth, perhaps, is greater per square
foot than that of any other sovereign
state. In the interior Is one of the
richest zinc mines in the world, which
years of active working have failed to
exhaust.
A large percentage of the inhabi-
tants OF the territory are miners. Few
venture beyond the confines of the
quiet little valley, though the busting
commercial city of Aix-la-Chapelle IL

and Liege lies oaly % miles westward.

and has harried Moresnet with two
main detectives. She has sought to
compel the people Of the little terri.
tory to declare their desire to become
German subjects, and has also striven
to drive the government of Belgium
into surrendering its rights. Far be-
yond any expectations, Moresnet citi-
zens have stanchly upheld their indie
pendence, maintaining that the com
pacts between Prussia and Belgium
should never be severed. Belgium
has also remained stolid, even refus.
ing to relinquish her claims in ex.
change for a substantial indemnity.
There have even been some in Bel
GUM whose doctrine it was to sur
render Moresnet, with the natural ex-
pectation that Germany would, by
reason OF the concession, support Bel
GUM in more important matters. A
favorable treaty was not thought UNI
likely.
In 1905 German papers suddenly de-
clared that both Moresnet and Bel
GUM we're willing Germany should
assume control of the little territory.
1t was even intimated that Belgium
was willing to sell her rights. But
the declarations were baseless.

How Il 10 Governed.
The local government of Moresnet
furing its hundred years OF life is in
teresting. When Belgium and Prussia
zach said hands OF" in 1915, each
eountry secretly intended to keep one
eye on the territory. This policy was
carried out until 1841. Under the ar
rangement the neutral state was sub
feet to a joint government by both ma
tons. In 1841 Moresnet received an
administration IT It's own. A burgo-
master, or mayor. and council Of ten
members was the form u rule Sc
tected.
Since 1841 the state has worked out
Its own Affairs. Nominally the burgo-
master is appointed alternately by
Belgium and Prussia, but in reality
and practice the Moresnetians choose
their own executive. The council
members obtain their offices at vii
lage election every year.
The inhabitants SO inclined decide
Individually whether they will per-
form military duty for Prussia or for
Belgium, and the result has been

getting shade Of advantage. It is

No Coinage and No Police.
Moresnet has no distinctive coins OF
legal tender. The specie Of Germany
and Belgium Is freely exchangeable.
There are no police to patrol Mores

each year by the society, but their du-

The town has polyglot population

pie into either Germans or Belgians.
