Meanwhile, an expert driller was speeding to Cave City from Louisville with an electric chipper and other equipment. The driller. Jack Collins, was born In Silver Cliff. Colo., rixI has worked in all the mints In the famous Cripple Creek gold fields. Jack Collins, who is not a relative of the en tombed man, plans to enter the cave as soon as he ran cover the six miles of rough road from Cave City.

The road from Cuve City Is a country road in wet weather. At all t lines, risky, the danger of exploring caves were increased by the melting ice and snow flow- ling tlown the narrow passage into 'the earth's recess far under ground. Collins, discoverer of crystal cave, in which he was similarly trapped for 4H hours by a bould er, entered the hole Friday morn ing In search for a cavern, "more wonderful than any In the re gion." He said he discovered It land was making his way out when a boulder parred by his foot j perhaps, slipped down and trapped him. He was found 24 hours lattr and since that time hundreds have tried In vain to rescue him. They still were trying today and will continue to do so until he Is j brought ut alive--or dead. Har.

"I was crawling out of Ssnd Cave, which is the most beautiful I have ever seen, when, soon after as cending a Hteep wall, 1 dislodged a huge rock. It caught my left foot. That was ten o'clock Friday morning." Thus begins Floyd Collins own story of his experience of the last five days trapped in a narrow pas sagf far underground, as told to William llurke Miller, stiff cor respondent of the Courier Journal, and published In a copyrighted dispatch from Cave City today. "The first night I spent in yell ing at the top of my volte," he said. "I knew my chance was slim, but I couldn't give up without do ing something. So 1 Just shouted and shouted. After a long time I was unable to calf any more. I got hoarse. I struggled on though, until I fhr.illy lost consciousness. Maybe 1 slept I don't know; but 1 felt belter when I awoke.

Heavy rains in the aCscade mountains last night forced the Willamette river to flood stage today and the waters are still rising. A rise of four feet since yester day morning was reported today. The Pacific highway is covered at Juilkin'8 Point, just outside the Eugene city limits to the sotilh, and the water is covering the high way this side of Junction City to the north to a depth of 8 to 10 Inches. Though cars are still go ing through to the north, they will be rouli-d another way if the water I continues to rise. Just this side of Monroe, still farther north on the Pacific high way, the water 13 so deep across the pavement that the city guiding signs as to the roadway are rows of white stakes on either side.

Testimony piven before the leels latlve committee investing Pro hibition Commissioner Cleaver's regime shows that several thous and dollars were spent by Abe Weinberg, a fugitive from justice from New York for a brief period, until his appeliension and arrest, imported as investigator and spy for the Anti-Saloon League, in its law enforcement work. This mon ey was spent in dives and speak easies, in buying drinks for boot leggers nnd In entertaining in mates of bawdy houses as the evi dence shows. It is disclosed that $11.00 of state funds were turned over to Super intendent Herwig of the leamie by Governor Pierce and Mr. Cleaver at the time of Weinberg's meteoric operation, thouch neither Herwig nor Weinberg were employed by the state in any official capacity. The presumption is. of course, that part of the money Weinberg riot ously threw arotind In Mm) tips to prostitutes and dive habitues came from the state funds and the bal ance. Mr. Herwiii admits, "from private sources." meaning probably money contributed to Anti-Saloon l,eairue coffers for law enforce ment work, by citizens, churches and Sunday schools. It is a comforting thought to know not only that the state's pood money is spent in princely entertainment of the denizens of the red-light district. 1, but that also the collections contributed to rir? intiriiiii lit M'iMin.K 1,1 j.w-a. . j... ousness for sinners, as well as soft births for league officials. nd I vlons other disreputable ways tor i-yj churches and charities, under the ,q. theory that its exp. mllture Is a i worthy cause sanctifies and puri t!fies it. but hre is a reversal of .i form, sanctified money, earned by 1 honest labor and donated for lt . mi rttin (m-Dannnii till ntl: lofty piirpo. irresponsibly pciuan. dert'il In pham'fil rvflry to hrlchlon a rrimlnal' hiilay.

Another Item is $350, spent for "hotels and meals, Mr. and Mrs. Weinberg and guests, consisting of large rum-runners."

The state of I Oregon was very good to Mr. Wein berg, his wife and his guests. The money was state funds, giv en over to and disbursed by a pri vate individual.
