tanned Wor king "A
Hours, Mayor Says

Late this afternoon three differ
ent removal crews were working
on the Lower Franklin Street ter
minus of the slide Two shovel
crews were loading trucks from
both sides of the slide, and the third
crew was sluicing the mud and de-
brls from the face of the slide into
the sluice box, constructed last
night along the driveway Of the Ju-
neau Cold Storage, emptying into
the bay
In addition scattered crews were
removing debris and excavoating in
various sections of the slide, in
Guiding the site of the Matson
Boarding House where it is believ-
ed victims may be entombed.
Stumps and portions of buildings
were being pulled out with cable
rig powered by caterpillar. Mem
bers of the Juneau Fire Department
were clearing away surface debris
and playing streams of water into
openings they had made, trying to
put out fires that apparently had
burned all night and continued to
do SO, many feet under the cover
of muck and mud.
Mayor Goldstein said this after
noon the city would maintain a
24-hour workday with three shifts
of workmen in an effort to tear
away the debris and take out any
enc who might stiif be in the wreck
age.

PORTION OF EVERGREEN
AVENUE WASHED OUT

A small portion of Evergreen Ave-
nue., Just beyond the Gold Creek
bridge, is washed out and a con-
siderable amount of water contin-
ues to flow across the street. Planks
have been laid across the stream
which has been directed into Gold
Creek and the strc>2t is open to slow
traffic.
Gold Greek continues to flow in
torrential force but seems to be
somewhat lower than yesterday at
ternoon when it reached within
about three feet of the retaining
banks which were nut in with c.

Slide Sweeps
Out Pole Carrying
Main Power Line

w. S. Pullen Of the Alaska Elec-
trio Light and Power Company said
today that when the avalanche
struck on Lower Franklin Street, it
swept out the poles carrying the
main power line feeding the city
The wires were buried in the debris
Of rock, dirt and trees and electric
ians were severely handicapped in
making the emergency repair.
Comment however, was rife in
the city today that the light men
had done an especially fast job in
getting the lights on again around
9 p. m, considering the difficult
conditions under which they had
to work without any light but their
flashlights. The entire city was
being served again by 10 o'clock.

Inspectors Piper and Hide
garde Withers Do Super
Sleuthing at Coliseum

William Powell films are noted
for supplying something unconven-
tional in the way of romance. Fol-
lowing that tradition, most firmly
established by THE Thin Man,
The usu | relations between lovers
are amusingly reversed by the star
and his co-star, Jean Arthur, in
their mystery comedy, 1.-THE Elk Mrs.
Bradford at the Capitol Theatre
here.
It's the attractive, blonde Miss
Arthur who has to do most of the
romantic pursuing in this RKO
Radio picture, while Powell re-
treats before her advances. It's a
pursuit that calls for all of the
actress charm and suasive humor,
since she appears a young woman
with an uncomfortable passion for
poking into dangerous murder
cases, and Powell, cast as So
ciety doctor who prefers peace to
the strain of sleuthing, does his best
to avoid her.
Nothing stops Miss Arthur, now
ever, and she not only wears down
Powells' resistance to her charm
with gay romantic campaign, but
gets him so entangled in the in
vestigation of a series of fantastic
killings, that he is suspected of
being the murderer himself, and has
to solve the mystery or take the
rap

as Walter c. w. BurgeSs-one Of
it's oldest employees in length of
service. So far back does his mem.
ory extend that he recollects the
days when he was awakened hourly
in his home near the Navy Yard
by night sentry who called out,
Number 8. ALPS we'll"
Now any old-timer will recall
that such "yodeling" by the sen.
tries, who were U. s. Marines sta
toned in boxes on top of the old
walls, disappeared many years ago
with the introduction Of modern
alarm systems.
Besides all that, Mr.. Burgess is
also noted for two things-his prac-
tical joking and his constantly
cheerful disposition. Only once in
80 years of work at the foot of
Eighth Street, Southeast, Burgess
declares, did he ever become angry.
OldtimerS recall the occasion
when Mr.. Burgess, stationed at
machine in a gallery of the "B. M.
shop, spotted a workman below
who was doing peacefully beside
running engine. To wake him up,
so that the boss would not catch
him mapping, required only a
moment.
Mr.. Burgess attached an imita-
ton spider, with springs for legs,
on a long string. He dangled the
bogus critter in front of the sleep
ing workers face. The man woke
suddenly, let out a yell and jumped
about 20 feet, says Mr.. Burgess.
At that instant, horror-stricken
employees noticed the boss" was
watching. Affairs looked critical
until the superior began to laugh
louder than anyone else and turned
away as If he had seen nothing.
Mr.. Burgess principal fame,
however, rests on his knowledge
of springs. For many years he &C
compliShed miracles with pieces of
wire, even turning out springs
which expert technicians asserted
could not be made.
Today he is taking things easy
in his home in the 1000 block Of
