2 BIG SLIDES AT
SALMON CREEK
ROAD BLOCKED
Bridge Reported Still in But
Damaged-Only Pas
sage Now by Foot

Two big slides at Salmon Greek
and several smaller ones along the
Glacier Highway blocked that ar
terry of traffic last night and today.
The first avalanche, about 100 feet
wide, came down on the west side of
the Salmon Greek bridge Saturday
night and blocked the roads, tying
many autos up on the far side. Sun
day another slide came down above
the bridge and filled the creek chan
mel, causing the water to sweep over
the John Wagner place and across
the road in a torrent on the town
side of the span.
The bridge itself had not gone
out this morning, it was reported,
but some of the underpinning was
damaged and the only means of pas
sage was by foot. A crew from the
Bureau of Public Roads this morn
ing cut a channel through the high
way for the water to go through
and it probably will be days before
the highway will be passable again.

MAY, BE DAYS..
BEFORE WHOLE
STORY is TOLD
Mayor Believes Seven to 10
Missing But Checkup Is
Still Uncertain

Mayor 1. Goldstein, whose store
was caught in the great slide of
1920 and who stayed up all last
night directing rescue efforts, was
still on the job this afternoon with
out sleep and declared every effort
was being extended to get at those
believed buried in the Lower Frank
lin Street slide.
1T is difficult to say just how
many are missing" said the Mayor.
I'VE have checked virtually all
sources but we are convinced there
are from seven to 10 still in the
avalanche. Fire has added to the
handicap and 1t will be days be-
fore we are able to ascertain the
exact loss of life and the property
damage"
Fire Chief v. w. Penny" Mulvi-
hill led his men into the battle
against the slide Immediately after
the first warning and toiled on
through the night until forced by
fresh men this forenoon to go home
and get some sleep.
Staid business men in rubber
boots and hatless high school boys
joined with the firemen, members
of the Coast Guard and soldiers to
make up the rescue crews as the
battle against death was fought on
through the early hours of the
morning and through today.
Shouts of who wants a job?"
rose over the barricade on Lower
Franklin as Chief of Police Roy
Hoffman and his men began the
work of clearing away some of the
debris so that progress could be
speeded. Workmen were reused out
in various parts Of town to come
down and handle a shovel.
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1936-11-23

the rescue and throughout the night
the work went on at the scene of
tragedy.
Fire Breaks Out
Early in the morning hours, fire
broke out from underneath on the
south side of the slide, believed
from some portion of the Nickino-
witch apartments, which showed
only the twisted top of its mass Of
ruin. How many, if any, died as a
result of the fire is not yet known.
All morning the firemen fought to
get at the smouldering ruin but
we're having difficulty getting in to
its source which was buried under
10 or is feet of debris.
The Alaska Juneau flume went
out in the avalanche and telephone
men reported at least five lines
cut out in the slide. How many
others, they did not know.
During Rainfall
AiiC oiQC Cdilic III tllt lilluoI Va
one of the heaviest rainfalls of the
season and during a month which
is setting a record for precipita-
ton. 1t rained steady and heavily
during the day and in the 24-hour
period from 10 p. m. Saturday to
10 p. m. Sunday 389 inches of
rain had fallen, the U. S. Weather
Bureau reported. The November
fall is within a fraction of an inch
of setting an all previous time rec
ord. At midnight last night 203l
inches had fallen this month COM
pared with the previous high 20.51
inches in November of 1890.
The avalanche probably will de-
velop to be the worst Juneau has
ever experienced. On January Q,
1920, four were killed when a slide
occurred not far from the same
place, going through the store of
Mayor I. Goldstein and causing
damage of around fifty thousand
dollars. At thai time Lowrey MAXI
and Henry Jaeger were killed in
stantly and Andrew Wallin and Pet
er Koskey died later of injuries.
Lowrey Maxi, who lost his life in
the slide of 1920, was relative of
Gus MAXI, who was injured in the
avalanche of yesterday.

Commander William o. johnson
of the Afford John Bradford Post,
American Legion, today cancelled
tonight's regular meeting of the
Post and placed the Legion at the
disposal of those in charge of res
cue work in the lower Franklin
Street slide.
Many Legionnaires were working
at the scene in various capacities
and the Commander urged all men,
bers of the Post to turn out and offer
their services. Sergeant at : arms
Jack Holler of the Post stayed at
his duties all last night and was still

TWO CHILDREN
LAUGH IT OFF

Little Allen and Gail Person, the
two children caught in the slide
in the Nickinovich Apar m n t
House, laughed and played in their
bed this morning at st. AIMS Hos
pital. They did not realize how
close death came to calling on
the family
First, rocks fell on the roof and
then we all fell down." was the
first remark of three-year-old Al
len.
I'VE were crying and pretty soon
some men came and dug my mother
out" said four year -old Gail.
Then In childish fashion she went
on to say that she was Shirley
Temple only she didn't have Shir-
ley's clothes.

Franklin. Firemen and other
volunteers forged their way
into the debris and in the first
couple of hours most of the
injured had been removed.
Light company men battled
through the mire in an effort
to make an emergency hook
up, at the same time con-
fronted with the danger of
live wires striking them at
any moment. AS the avail
anche struck great flashes
lighted the skies as transfer
mers went out, leaving the
city in total darkness. 1t was
approximately an hour and
a half before the light COM
pany was able, under the ter
rifle handicap, to make a tenn
porary repair. In the mean
time firemen and volunteers
worked with only the light of
flashlights, making progress
especially slow.
The Coast Guard Cutter Talla-
poosa and the Army launch For
nance from Chilkoot Barracks which
had arrived but short time before
the slide, swung into position to
throw their floodlights on the scene
of horror and aid the workers in
their valiant efforts. A crew from
the Tallapoosa was among the first
on che job and worked with the
firemen like Trojans in a supreme
Zffort to rescue those known buried
in rock, dirt and trees. Mr.. Pc
son, who with his family, was caught
in the slide, is a member of the
Tallapoosa crew.
Torrent Of Water
In the wake of the avalanche came
a torrent of water that hampered
the work and flooded the street in
both directions, workmen having
to constantly open the drains to
keep the water from rising further
over the curbs. Men, women and
children sloshed through the water
and dirt. grief stricken relatives
crying and shouting for their loved
ones. Rumors grew, gathered mo-
mentum and spread like wildfire
about the city as the difficulty OF
ascertaining the exact situation be-
came more acute.
Terror, Turmoil
Terror, turmoil ruled for short
time, but organization was soon eff
fected and three hours after tn,
great cascade of dirt and rock hac
roared down, trucks and volunteer

away the debris in the hope of
reaching others who might be bur-
