Show f I T1IE Progress to Date 10 Per Cent Ahead of Original Plans; Colorado Bore Nearly a Third Complete Denver. The Moffat tunnel, piercing the continental divide of the Rocky mountains west of here, and one of the world's greatest railroad d complete I bores, is nearly and is 10 per cent ahead of the time schedule set by the builders. To date, the pioneer, or water, tunnel has been bored 6500 feet from the east portal and 5490 from the west portal, or more than of the distance. The main beading has penetrated James peak 6316 feet from the east portal and 4700 feet from the west. The crosscut tunnels connecting the main and water bores at Intervals or from 1300 to 1500 feet, have reached a total of 520 feet. Each of these crosscut tunnels is approximately seventy-fiv- e feet in length. The full size railway tunnel has penetrated 3094 feet from the east and 531 feet froi.) the western portal. At present the work of enlarging the main heading, which is being drilled seven and one-haby nine will be 16x24 feet, is proceeding twice as fast as the work at the front. At this ratio, tunnel engineers estimate within a year this work will be abreast of the main heading. The slowness of progress on the western end is accounted for by the fact that builders have encountered soft shale and dirt rather than solid rock. This necessitates timbering every foot of the way at a cost of more than flOO per linear foot. At the east portal solid rock was found after the first few hundred feet and enabled the contractors to speed up the work materially. That the work through the winter months will proceed even more rapidly than during the summer is the Absence prediction by engineers. of visitors through the month when the camps are snowbound, and the lessening likelihood of workmen drifting from their jobs account for theis prediction, it was explained . The men are comfortably housed in camps at each end of the tunnel, where stocks of provisions sufficient for three months are at hand. Each camp has a medical dispensary and hospital with a doctor and nurse in constant attendance. Fatalities, however, have been almost nil, but one death resulting from accident during the seventeen months the work has bee in progress. Terms of the contract call for the completion of the project not later than July 1927. The opening of the tunnel to railroad traffic will start the development of a vast tract of virgin territory in northwestern Colorado, a region heretofore not reached by railroad lines. In this territory lie vast coal deposits, oil shale beds and oil fieds as yet untapped except for one or two isolated wells that have come in for flows estimated at several thousand barrels a day. one-thir- one-thir- d lf Sikl Goes to Jail Memphis, Tenn.

Actively supporting league of nations is Dr. B. Blinagainst ishti, Albinia's permanent representative in Geneva, who spent a strenuous Sunday circulating information in an endeavor to justify the appeal of Bishop Fan S. Noli, Albana's for intervention. Dr. Blinishti issued a series of communiques fresh from Bishop Noli at Tirana, insisting that the people of Albania, far from revolting against the existing regime, have become more united in "combating the foris proeign invader." Jungo-Slaviclaimed as the invader. Further, the communiques allege the seizure of guns near the frontier bearing marks which prove that they were furnished by the army. Prisoners captured by Bishop Noll's legions are claimed in the communiques to have admitted that they participated in incursions into Albania by orders of the commander at Priz rend. One of the statements says that soldiers of Bulgarian origin who had taken refuge in are also among the invaders and are in charge of the heavy and light artillery." It declares that "the entire transport of munitions and general war material is being done by Jugoslavia automobiles." Another communiques issued by Dr. Blinishti characterizes as an invention out of the whole cloth the report that the insurgent chiefs at El Bas-sacondemned to death Premier Noli and all the members of the ministry. Meanwhile the council of the league of nations, which has just completed a session in Rome, finds itself confronted with a Balkan conflict which it is recognized will require delicate handling and which probably will necessitate a special meeting of the council. Premier Noli himself, who likes to make the journey to Geneva and whose picteresque and ironical address at the last assembly of the council made him the most outstanding figure which had visited Geneva in some time, still is actively seeking a loan for his country. As he sauntered through the streets of the city he was easily recognized by his bushy black beard and was pointed out by many as one of the most curious political figures in Europe. Some advices reaching Geneva insist that the failure of Premier Noli to raise the loan needed to give realization to his democratic dreams is one of the chief causes for his present dif's a bishop-premie- r, a Jugo-Slaviu- n Jugo-SIavi- ficulties.
