TRAINS ENCOlMtR MANY
SNOWSLIDES
Spring-like Weather Softens Snow Which Is
Precipitated Upon White Pass Tracks? Con
ditions at Skagway Resemble April
For the first time this year the White
Pass train encountered scow slides on
its trip to Whitehorse. Between
Glacier nnd the tunnel the o!d rotary
snow plow made its way through 10
slides. The snow w;is softened by the
Chinook wind that has prevailed the
last two days, causing its hold on the
rocks to slip.
Nor was the rotary through with its
work when it had made its way
through the slides on the south side of
the mountains. Beyond the tunnel as
far as Bennett the trauk was buried
with from two to four feet of snow.
Ttiis is rather earlier in the season
than usual for spring-like conditions.
Usually there are few snow slides along:
the White Pass until March,
The weather at Skagway for the last
two days has been iike that which
usually prevails early in April, The
temperature has been such as to |cause
the discarding of overcoats and to make
people think of the spring clean-up.
The heaviest snow fall of. the season
came down Saturday, but there is little
evidence Of it remaii i^g this evening.
Good Aticndanoo at Danes
There wap a good attendance at the
Eigles' Club dance Saturday eveni-g,
