: CENTRAL OREGON'S "LOST" CAVERN
! Fifteen years airo. it was recently noted in The Bulletin
rjilumn dealing with Bend's yesterdays, there was discovered
a new lava cave, walls of which sparkled like so many dia
monds when liifhts were (lashed in the subterranean cavern.
The cave, a part of the Arnold ice cavern system, was explored
by four Bend boys, Ervin McNeal, Elmer Johnson, Wilbur
Catkins and Lewis McNeal. The first three members of this
group had already won wide recognition in 1923, when they
sUaJod the previously unconquered peaks, Mount Washington
flnd Three Fingered Jack.
- The four young explorers brought back word from the
Arnold ice cave area that the newly found cavern had appar
ently never before been entered, either by white man or by In
flian. The cavern was described as being more than a mile in
Jength.
. "Only after digging a hole under the ice of the main cav
$rn were the youthful discoverers able to crawl into the dome
room of the ice cave," relates The Bulletin's account of the
discovery. After reaching the end of the dome room, the boys
noticed a small opening at the far end and near the top of the
chamber.
With considerable difficulty, the explorers squeezed their
way into the new cavern, their lights bringing out the beauty
&f icy stalagmites, some of them three or four feet high.
Making their way over rocks, the boys continued on their tour
if discovery. It was found that the newly discovered cavern
ivas the continuation of the Arnold ice cave, on a different
level.
But what has happened to this cavern of the Arnold ice
ave group? If the ice-beaded cave is still accessible, certainly
Jt would be a major tourist attraction.
At least one of the four explorers is still a resident of Bend.
Probably he would be willing to lead a party to the cave, to
tletermine whether the small opening into the big cavern is
See-free, or to see if a hole can be bored through the ice pack
Jnto the vast chamber, walls of which sparkle like diamonds.
Such explorative work would be a valuable contribution to
Ihe natural attractions of Central Oregon. Certainly a great
lave, ornamented with stalagmites and stalactites of ice and
frozen lava and holding a dome room lined with sparkling
crystals, would be a tourist lure second to few in the northwest.
I . MAKE HIM A BET
l Referring further to the alleged sale of books to the editor
aof The Bulletin mentioned in an editorial box on the front page
Jof yesterday s paper it should be said that the salesman meiv
tioned secured a signature indorsing anti-communist activity
Dr. is understood that this signature is being" shown as evidence
of a book order. If this is being done deception is practiced
aAs stated yesterday no order for books was given and if
assertions are made that an order was given doubts are cast on
the good faith of the salesman.
I It may be remembered that on other occasions there have
been reported in this column offers of gift sets of books, the
loflers being made "in order to introduce the books in Bend."
Such gifts will never be accepted here nor will books or sets
Ibe purchased from an itinerant salesman. Our suggestion is
that if any salesman tells you that the editor of The Bulletin
has bought or ordered books from him you call him a liar, as
.suggested yesterday, or offer to bet him the price of the books
that no such order was given.
You will win the bet.
Out-of-state cars registered in Oregon in the first four
months of the year were nine per cent less in number this year
than last. From this fact various authorities are trying to
draw various conclusions. Our guess is that only one of two
conclusions can be drawn and that the more likely has not been
suggested. One is that there are fewer cars coming into the
state which seems unlikely and the other that though there are
more cars entering Oregon fewer tourists are taking the
trouble to register. That is probably what is happening.
The current conductor of the editorial column of the Salem
statesman said something the other day about what he had
learned here. That did not include the use of the nhra.se
"revert back" which appeared in his otherwise worthy edi
torial "vindication.

her. They are in different leagues.
he insists, and he has no business
kidding himself.
CHAPTER XXIII
When Val finally went to bed she
knew what she was going to tell
Rodney Blair if he asked her again
to marry him. She found it quite a
relief now that she had made up her
mind. She wondered if Rodney
would be there to meet them when
they, locked. She had a hunch he
would.
Val was right. When they finally
slipped alongside their dock and
were made fast, she saw Kooney
Blair waving up at her.
Rodney wasn't the only one 'there,
however. Sam Golden was so excited
he almost fell into the bay.
A half dozen snorts writers were
on hand and a battery of photos
raphe rs made ready to ijioot the
works. She recognized Tommy Evans
from her own office and waved to
him.
Once again she had changed into
more feminine clothes, donning the
same suit she had worn when she
boarded the ship almost two weeks
ago.
Eddie Calavicr was watching her
when she ran down the gangplank
and up to the tall, mustached man
at the gate. He saw her 4iss him
lightly and turned away. Turning, he
bumped into Capt. Steve Hansen.
"Well, Steve, coming to the fight
tomorrow night? Bring all the boys.
Don't worry about tickets. They're
on me."
He laughed somewhat nervously.
Deliberately Hansen looked at Val
walking off with Rodney Blair. Then
he looked back at Eddie.
"We'll be there, all right, son. An'
we're for you all the way. In every
way, too," he said but the signifi
cance was lost on Eddie.
Eddie Calavier was too busy try
ing to drive the memory ol Val kiss
ing the stranger out of his mind.
Sam Golden embraced him like i
long-lost son. The cameramen were
snapping pictures all over tnc place.
But when they lookca lor val uoug
las she had disappeared.
Eddie swore at himself when he
searched for her face at the boxing
commissioner's office when they re
ported for the wcighirig-in cere
monies at noon the next day. She
wasn't there. He wondered if she'd
be at the fight. But of course she
would.
He posed for photographers shak-
seen him. The photographers asked : empty, and the sixth contained a sin

minutes and got up. He was thirsty, And then the bell which mercifully
he explained to Duffy.
Duffy pulled up a chair and sat
down next to him. "Eddie," he said,
"you're not fooling me. It's that girl.
I know. Of all the times for a dame
to put the clamp on you it had to be
now!
"Eddie . . . don't you see . . .
you've GOT to get her out of your
mind. Look. Eddie ... I'm not trym'
to run your private life. But at a
time like this . . . this is different.
Anyway . . . anyway, she's strictly
poison."
"Don't ever say that again, Duffy.
Never. I love that girl."
A great weight seemed to fall on
Duffy Kelso and crush him. There
were tears in his eyes as he got to his
feet. He crossed to the window and
looked out. Duffy Kelso also had a
love. He loved Eddie Cavalier as a
father loved a son. And now Duffy
felt like a father seeing that son
hurt. If only it were a dream. But it
was real. Brutally real.
Pop Grimes could never retail
when it had been so quiet in Eddie
Calavicr's dressing room before a
fight. Absolutely no one was to be
admitted, Duffy had nntilied Ihe
guard outside. No one. Not even reporters.
Pop gave tuldies bandages a nnui
inspection, wordlessly. The only
sound in the room was the drip, drip
of a faucet. Duffy took out a cigar.
He couldn t smoke in the dressing
room, so he chewed it viciously.
Pop didn't like things the way Ihey
were. It was a violin string stretched
too tight. He was afraid. He wished
the preliminary would be over so
they could go to work. Outside he
could hear the muffled roar of the
crowd. Someone must have been
belted a sood one.
Then, after hours, it seemed, they
knocked on the door. Okay, Cav
alier," a muffled voice said, and they
went out into the night and down
the crowded aisle. Eddie almost ran.
A tremendous roar went up as he
climbed through the ropes. Another,
an instant later, heralded Corky
Briggs. Corky came over and shook
hands with Eddie in his corner.
Eddie looked down at the ringside
as he shuffled his feet in the resin
and suddenly froze. Val Douglas in
the second press row was looking at
h m. her lips slightly parted.
though she wanted to say something
but couldn t. He turned away quick
forced all other thoughts out of Ed
die Cavalier's mind. He got off his
stool and went out to meet Corky
Briggs.

Eddie jabbed with his left experi
mentally. Briggs blocked it and got
in close, hammering a hard right to
Eddie's ribs. It hurt, and Eddie knew
the 10 pounds Brings had on him was
going to mean a lot. He speared
Corky with another left and danced
away.
Briggs followed, worked him into
a corner and landed to his body
again. He hooked Eddie sharply with
a left and then dug into his rib with
another thudding right.
"He's working downstairs," Duffy
told him hoarsely between rounds.
"Keep dancing away and spearing
him with your left. Don't let him gel
in close. He's dynamite in there.'
Eddie didn't have to be told that.
Corky Briggs was tough. At the end
of the third round Eddie's body was
red. "Two more rounds like that and
he'll have you broke in two," Duffy
said savagely. "You better get to him
with a couple of good ones this time
to slow him down."
Pop sponged him off and rubbed
his leg muscles. The bell again.
Eddie walked right into Briggs and
hooked him with a wicked left He
followed it up with two straight left
jabs to the face. Eddie bobbed and
threw a right, but he was a little too
eager. He went off balance just
trifle, but enough for Briggs to step
in.
Corky looped 'a right that landed
high on Eddie's cheek. It staggered
him and Briggs put him against the
rones with a short right to the heart.
Eddie's guard came down momen
tarily and Briggs flashed a left to his
head. It caught Eddie just above the
eye.
Eddie covered uo and weathered
the storm as the bell sounded, but
there was a trickle of blood running
down his face.
Pop worked on It furiously with
collodion and cotton swab.
Val Douglas could see the damage
from where she sat. And it was with
a sickening feeling that she realized
that Corky Briggs had reopened Ed
die's blackjack wound.
The same blackjack wound she
had been responsible for the night
she had shanghaied him.

Few see any danger that the U. S.

There is a good deal of concern, how

Mexico has a presidential election
this year, and there is a good deal of
danger the election may be followed
by a revolution. Washington advices
are to Ihe effect that if that happens
it won't be just another Latin-American

The communist are strong In
Mexico. They are reputed to buve an

More Important, according to current
reports, is the fact that some thous
ands of leftists veterans of the Span

Mexico. These men brouuhl their
guns with them.
Since Mexico is good deal closer

How would a city dweller like it
if some one from the country drove
up in his car and dumped overboard
on the city man's lot a aark of tin
cans, a carton of empty bottles and a
boxful of mbtcellaneons litter? He
would squawk to high heaven, yell
for the police, the garbage man, the
health department, and perhaps the
state police.
But city folk by no means infrc-
3uentty reverta the process and
ump sacks of cans of their own de
bris on country lanes or on mnil
property. The sight is quite as offen
sive to country dwellers aa piles of
such litter are in town to those who
reside there.
Mayor Zctla Schlador of Silverton,
hearing protest from residents in
the vicinity of that city against such
practices is. with characteristic en
ergy, proceeding to do Something
about it. She says, "We want this
dumDUiit practice stopped."
More power to her and to other
mayors and city folk with similar
strong resolutions.
So far as Snlem residents are con
ccrned there is absolutely no reason
to dump debris in the country. U
can just be hauled out to the city
dump ground and disposed ol with
out cost. Or for a small monthly
charge the garbage service will do the
chore regularly. Most decidedly
there Is no defense for despoiling the
countryside with city litter.
