Thursday at the opening session Of

his reasons for opposition to the pro-

Tic brief des patches in which the
fall Of Bucharest was announced
left in doubt the fate or the armies
which were resisting tho advance OF
the Tcutonic invaders.
IT is assumed in most Entente
quarters, however that there was no
last stand, by the Roumanians be-
fore their capital and such news as
had trickled through from German
sources indicate that Bucharest was
virtually deserted when the Teutonlci
forces entered lit. The city is said to
have been found uninjured.
Military mon IN Entente capitals
point to the probability that tho ac-
.ttons Just prior to the capture OF
bucharest were fought merely With n.
view 70 delaying the advance OF
Field Marshal Won hIackensen's
forces, and aiding IN the escape of
the main body OF Roumanians, The
capture 0f PIoechtI. thu railway juno
ton thlrty-six miles north OF Bucha-
rest, however. may have blocked the
retreat OF part of the RoumanIan
forces.
German opinion Is expressed to tho
effect that the Roumnnians have de-
.cided TO abandon all of Wallachia,
the main portion OF the Roumanian
Kingdom. and retire to Moldavia,
their northeastern province where
It'll si::' front would be materially short
tcned and where they would be IN

Ito the gas and oil possibilities near
Pierre For twenty-three years past
the city of Pierre has been able To

cubic feet OF natural gas daily, which
has dubbed up with the artssian wa,
ter. This gas is CHA, Identical with
the natural gas of PENNSYLVANIA and

liable flow has led to the belief that
1T percolates into the artesian stra-
tum from some nearby reservoir from
which perhaps both dry gas and OIL
may be secured. Almost Invariably.

are found under a dome Or anticline

in this vicinity. He has recently
spent two weeks in the region. very
carefully examining tho shale expos
ures along the Missouri and tributary
streams, and reported that he was un-
able to discover such an aiplift at any
point examined. He believed it would
be unwise to expend money il sinking
deep wells until such an uplift was
found.
His repor a1s not alter the fact
that we do have a persistent iow Of

escapes ron q nearby reservoir and
that this dome or antieline is back

The Glasgow courier., 1916-10-20

ern Montana about the present and
pendin gcoal famine in that section.
According to a member of the
board the situation at present arises
from the fact that there is no do
mestic production near the northern
towns which has market there.
Coal is mined at Sand Coulee but it
is said to be of a quality inferior
to the Roundup and Bear Creek coal
and consumers prefer the latter, re-
fusing to buy the former, thinking
that soon shipments of southern
Montana coal will begin.
A. H. Barrett of Butte of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail
way; A. " Brown of Livingston of
the Northern Pacifis, and F. D. Kel-
sey of Great Falls, of the Great
Northern, were the officials in con-
ference with the railroad commits
sion. They offered to do their best
to relieve the situation but stated
the same effects that every railroad
in the country was now up against
that of insufficient Equipment to
meet the extraordinary demands Of
traffic.
The Great Northern is handi-
capped in getting southern Montana
coal to northern points from the
fact that the Milwaukee and North
ern Pacific are not in position to
allow any equipment off their lines,
as they claim they need every avail
able freight car on their own lines.
"The railroads may not be able to
get the coal they wish to them and
they will find themselves without
fuel after it is too late. If that hap
pens there is bound to be some
deaths by freezing in the northern
part of the state.
"The railroad men are willing to
relieve the situation as much as pos
sible, but with the regulation which
is now in order that equipment shall
not go off their lines, the proposition
| is hard one.
"The Montana Wyoming & South
ern railroad which handles much coal
to the main lines is not in a position
to give extensive service, which mere
ly makes the situation more acute
