Mr.

said
that
If

the

probably
be

until

"I
have
been

but
so

been

Mr.
Brady
told
the
Dally
News
this
morning.
In
addition
to
the
snowslidcs,
a
heavy
fall
of
snow
between
here
and
Terrace
has
covered
the
highway,
making
it
impassable.
Duncan
Kerr,
Terrace
lumberman,
who
arrived
In
the
city
on
last
night's
train,
said
he
believed
It
Impossible
to
travel
on
the
highway
near
Terrace
now.
.
"A
truck
carrying
lumber
to
repair
the
Shames
bridge
lclt
Terrace
on
Thursday
and
took
two
days
to
make
the
trip,"
Mr.
Kerr
said.
"There
has
been
quite
a
snowfall
since
then."
One
of
the
reasons
that
last
week's
.snowfall
may
not
be
cleared
from
the
highway
is
that
bulldozers
have
piled
high
banks
of
snow
on
either
side
of
the
highway
when
they
cleared
earlier
sndwfalls
from
the
road.
These
obstruct
the
