Collins, discoverer of crystal

which is the most beautiful I have
ever seen, when, soon after as

five days trapped in a narrow pas

William llurke Miller, stiff cor

EUGENE, Ore.. Feb. 4. Heavy
rains in the aCscade mountains

A rise of four feet since yester

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.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 4. The

It Is to Laugh.
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
