said he heard Floyd Collins cough twice at 4:30 o'clock this
morning. Bysig told this afternoon of going into the main pas

while in there he heard faint coughing. He called to Collins
several times, he said, but received no answer.
SAND CAVE, Ky., Feb. 13. An official announcement
made at 3 o'clock this afternoon by Brigadier General H. H.

Extend Five-Year Limit
STATE HOUSE, Salem, Feb. 13.
Extension of the five-year limit
set by the 1921 leglslaeure for, the
state highway commission to sell
a special (7.000.000 bond Issue for
state highway work was authoriz
ed by the house this morning after
a two hour debate. The law of
1921 stipulated that Issue. In add!-'
tion to the other regular Issue, per
mitted up to the 4 percent tax lim
itation measure had to be sold pri
or to May 29, 1926. The bill passed
this morning, sets an indefinite
time for the disposal of about 800.-
000 left from the $7,000,000
amount. The sum was authorised
In 1921 to provide for emergency
needs.
The measure house bill 324 Intro
duced by Senator Hall and Repre
sentative Ford Is designed to clear
up conflicting provisions the law
of 1921, according to Its propon
ents. The opposition fought tho bill
vehemently maintaining that the
amendment passed this morning
(permitted the stste highway com--
mission to refund on the $7,000,
000 Issue and Issue new bonds.
"It makes the sky the limit," de
clared Representative Cowgill of
Jsckson county, who with Repre
sentative Carkiu, the same county,
led the fight on the bill. "As soon
as a million dollars Is retired an
other million can be issued, Let
us nay aR we go.
Hamilton of llend fought for the
bill. "We, can't slop highway
! building now," he declared. "In
eastern Oregon and In certain
'coast counties work is hardly
j started. Because the Willamette
valley Is paved, there Is no reason
to stop and forget eastern Ore
jgon and other sections."
Representative Carkin opposed
I the bill, he explained on account
iof the policy It carried. It's a ques- -j
Hon of whether or not we shall
I give "free reign to the highway
commission," he averred. "I have
'every confidence In the highway
(commission, but It Is like individu
als In that It is likely to become
too enthused In Its work. If the
I hill Is passed, the commission can
reissue as rapidly as refunding Is
; provided. There Is a move on to
jhrlng up our valuation of property
which would make available great
:er Income for the commission than
now exists."
Among bills passed by the sen
