SKI TRIALS
 MAY NOT BE
 HELD SUNDAY
Hard Packed Snow, Well Sitzmarked, Too Danger
 ous Without New Snow

The chances look sim for the holding of elimination races over the Douglas Ski Trail Sunday. according to the Turnament Committee of the Juneau Ski Club.
 It was reported this morning that the trail is in bad shape, and unless a fresh fall of snow irons out the rougk spots, the course will be too dangerous to run.
 The temperature was three de- grees below zero on the trail this morning and hard wind was blow ing. The weather bureau saw no hope for immediate snowfall and if no break in the weather occurs before tomorrow afternoon, the eli mination runs will be held week from Sunday on February 13.
 The elimination trials will be held to segregate skiiers into two groups of approximately ten members each, Class A and Class B Fastest time in the finals over the course in Glass A will give the winning skier the Dan Moller Ski Trophy

the circuit. A phone message
brought Smith and his crew back
to help. Through the long, drench-
ed night Brown and Ford worked
on the fallen pole. Later Smiths
crew arrived to help and the line
was back in working order by the
time black night turned to moist,
murky dawn.
A checked phone line, careful
messages that the line was clear,
switches thrown at the terminal"
in El Centre and lights burned
again in the valley. -.
"Only one life lost" Smith said.

tain that was more river
than a road-had washed out an
hour sooner .
If-siX men had not pushed on
through binding rain, knee deep in
muck and water in the dead of
night to right the fallen power
pole, El Centrans would have had
not only a cold breakfast Thursday,
but probably cold lunch as well.
Back in El Centre Sunday the
six who Shouldered the brunt of
repairing and protecting the New
Cal line feeding Imperial Valley
during last weeks storm, stretched
out in bed for their first real rest
since Wednesday when they were
ordered into the mountains to pro-
tect the line near Lake HenshaW.
Orders to Move
First orders to move into the
hills reached Nolan Smith, con-
struction foreman and, and crew
last Wednesday noon, when NeV-
Cal executives anticipated trouble
along the San Diego line which
loops over the hills past Lake Hen
shaw and Warmers Hot Springs in
to Imperial Valley.
Smith set out with his crew IN
two cars. With him in one machine
were Glenn Larry, c. D. Downs,
and Jack Barker. In the other car
were Sherman Brown and Red
Ford.
Binding rain hit US soon after
we left Kane Springs 'and headed
up the gorge" Smith recalled. 1t
didn't stop for two days. None OF
us slept for 36 hours. During that
time as much water ran out over
our backs and into our shoes as
goes over Niagara Falls in year!
Soon after heading into the
gorge the two cars separated. Smith
and his crew took a shortcut
through Borego springs to Hen
shaw dam to patrol and check that
section of the line. The other car
went into Grapevine canyon.
Torrents of water came down
the road to meet us on the short
cut" Smith declared. THE road
went out completely an hour after
we passed" .
Then followed a nightmare OF
mud and water for the six men.
AT Henshaw, word came through
over the company phone lines that
the San Diego dne must be main
tanned. for it was the only one
open to the valley. Floods hao
broken the Coachella and White
water lines. Then, just before mid
night. came word that the san
Diego line was out. The valley was
in total darkness.
Looking For Trouble
Smith and his crew started out.
Brown and Ford, in. Grapevine
CANYON. went to work, checking the
line looking for trouble.
Up the winding, Palomar noun

BARCELONA, March 7. (UP) -
Jubilant Loyalist authorities plan
