New Switch to
Pave Way For
Dam Line Start
Roadmaster's Crew To Build
Near Bracken to Comply
With Permit Time Limit.

In order that there will be no
delay when actual construction of
the railway line to the dam site Is
begun the local roadmaster's crew
has started preparing to construct a
switch at the point 19 miles south
of Bracken where the dam line will
join the main line.
Construction of the actual rail-
way branch will not directly concern
the local roadmaster's force, it was
explained by j. A. Kay, roadmaster
Due to the fact, however, that only
the regular road crew is allowed to
do any work whatever on the main
line, this will be done under Kay;
direction. The main line will then
be in readiness for the activities of
the construction crew when it is
ready to start actual construction.
Loading of materials for tie
building of the switch was started
yesterday and it was expected that
within two days the crew would be
ready to start work on the switch.
This move on the part of the rail-
way company will serve to certain
degree as a technical compliance
with the time limit of October l set
in the permit issued by the Inter
state Commerce Commission for be-
ginning construction of the Boul-
der Dam line.

MANY BLAZES ARENOW
COMPLETELY PUT OUT:
CANYON IS THREATENED
Crisis on Pacific Coast Considered Past as the
Elements Come to Rescue of Exhausted
Fire Fighters; Shifting of Breeze Saves
Town in Washington From Destruction
(By United PreSs)

After drenching rains and chang
ing winds had aided crews combat
ting forest fires in three Pacific
Coast states Wednesday, they re-.
ported that the crisis was past and
in some cases the flames completely
extinguished.
The disastrous forest fires which
blackened $4,000 acres in Ventura
county of Southern California, and
did more than 100000 damage
was put out on its last front near
Santa Paula late Wednesday.
In San Diego county approximate
ly $4,000 acres were burned over in
the back country. The flames were
confined to the rugged Witch
Creek region last night.
Fire fighters of Northern Cali
fornia were concentrated late today
near Woodside, where blaze swept
through the heavily wooded La
Honda canyon, threatening several
estates of wealthy men.
In the Pacific Northwest wind
change had saved the town of Stew
enson, Wash, from destruction after
flames had surrounded it on three
sides. Numerous small blaZes were

Juice Failure
Soon Remedied

Shortly before one o'clock this
morning, just as the Age force was
getting ready to put the paper tC
bed, the juice. went kerfluey.
The ad man stood in the dark
with his stick in his hand and no
place to put it.
The makeup man was trying tc
plug up hole in the back page
but couldn't find the hole.
The linotype operators couldn't
punch a key and the metal in the
pots turned cold Even the proof
readers could not dot an Il in the
dense darkness.
And things looked dark for the
paper.
And down at the U. P. power
house. things were even worse
In the darkness themselves, the
crew worked frantically to get the
injector which pumps water to the
boilers, and which had failed to
function at this critical moment
into working order again.
The period of darkness seemed
like a day but when at last the
juice came on and the lights
glowed and the metal began to
stew and the wheels to turn in
the Age office, the clock showed
less than half an hour had been
lost after all.
And, it seems, aside from the
newspaper standpoint, one O'Clock
in the morning is about as good a
time as any to have the hides
pensible current go dead.
But it sure was hell on the
devil" said the profane pressman
and we let it go at that.
