The. second slide which occurred about ten o'clock was the largest of th: two. This slide carried away the rock crusher of the city and also +te power and telephone lines of thA Gastineau company for over q thousand feet It also blocked the Perseverance roadway to a depth of 50or more feet. This slide swept oyer the concrete powder bous of the Ebner company, and as far as known, without damage to the structure.
 The ar from the first slide caus- cf the collapse of the four cabins in thx gulch. The roof of one cabin was carried for distance of 200 feet along the side Of the mountain and deposited, while the walls oe the cabin were blown out aud splintered to match wood. An ether cabin which was below the roadway above the big turn, was carried for 100 feet up the side of tha mountain and deposited above tFo roadway. The stove which was in tbe house followed the building and may be seen among the wreck age.
 When the large slide occurred Hear he Ebner this morning and carried GU tthe pole line, causing the interruption in the electrical service, linemen were started out at onc. to locate the trouble, while following the line along, and when near the Red Mill large section of the snow, 300 feet in width, let go and carried two of the men, Maurice Rasmussen and Benjamin Grout away with it.
 Isy body of Benjamin Grout, which was found Friday, was talk en south on the City of Seattle. Mrs. Grout, wife of the dead man, and who resided in Douglas, ac- companied the remains.
 As far a can be learned Rasmus- gen was unmarried and leaves 10 g'eictiYes in this section.
 The search for the body of Mau- rfce Rasmussen, is being continued alf.houg the men have about giV- en up hope of finding any trace of the man. The slide has packed and congealed until it is like solid ice and it is almost impossible to make any Feadway. It is possible that the search will be abandoned if the body Q not found today.

ADOPT
 WHITE WOMEN

The Blachfeet Indians, residents of Glacier National park, have adopted two white women into the full tribal membership, says the Spokane Chronicle One is Mary Roberts Rnehart, the author, and the other is Florence Rogers of Spokane, a freshman in the Uni versity of Washington.
 Miss Rogers is the latest addi- tiou and received the honorary title of NS-A-Taka, meaning Creek Wo- man. She was initiated into the tritS in the presence of the entire coun- ell, including Chief Cury Bear, war riors, sQuaws and children.
 Miss Rogers says the name Creek Woman was given by Chief Curly Bear to a white girl he captured when he was a young warrior. When asked what became of the captive, he only smiled and shook his head.
 q don't know just why they made me a Blackfoot," said Miss Ne A-Taka, "but l suppose it was be- cause they liked me. We have a summer cabin 8 few miles form the reservation in Glacier National park and l am we'll acquainted with the tribe"

BAD AVALANCHE
 NEARDJUNEAU

The damage done by the snow slides on Friday, Jan. 26, in the Las: Chance and Sheep Creek Ba- sin, Juneau district, is rapidly be- ing repaired and hte mine at Per severance and the mill at Thane are r.suming their regular routine as fes. as possible, according to the ing repaired and the mine at Per severance and the telephone line to tte mine were repaired late Satur- day afternoon and last night train communication with the mine was also reestablished.
 The slide in the Sheep Creek Basin is the largest which has oc- cured there for at least 50 years. Cottonwood and spruce trees stand ing cn the upper side of the track which are at least that old were carried away by the slide.
 The slide was 1900 feet wide and between 20 and 60 feet in depth covering the track of the PerseVer- ance-Thane roadway to depth of 90 Ieet or more, and carrying away the sncw sheds of the company and the trolley lines.
 "1he slide must have been the larges in the basin for many years because large trees standing on the upper side of our track, and which must have been there at least 50 years. were carried away. It seemed as if. all the snow on the entire mountain on the north side of the Basin le: go at once.
 "We built our tracks on a thirty foo. fill foreseeing that some small slides would come down the side of the mountain. We expected little troun.e and that small slides would Dupcb through the snow shed at places, but We did not expect any thing like what happened. We had D. reason to look for 9 slide of that magnitude and do not expect an other enc of that size for many years, if at all. If our track had been twice it's height it would not nave been high enough" 1t said.
 The first slide occurred on the side ns Mt. Juneau at nine o'clock between Juneau and the Hume of tre water company at this end of Last Chance Basin. The snow is piled for a depth of eighty or nine ty feet in Gold Creek at the bot tom of the gulch. This slide car lied away the flume of the power l.
 The compression of the air from this slide did the greatest damage as i carried out the sidewalk along the road to the Basin and picked nn fcur cabins and distributed them over the mountamside above the in places hundreds of feet rem the point where the cabins stood. .|
