This

12
to
15
feet
deep,
la
the
major
obstacle
barring
completion
of
the
big
snow
clearing
Job
to
the
Kwinltsa
tunnel
outside
of
which
lies
the
great
snow-slide
which
is
the
perennial
winter
barrier
to
traffic
on
the
highway
and
which
is
to
be
obviated
during
the
coming
summer
by
a
$25,000
causeway
diversion.
When
the
road
will
be
open
again
Jor
traffic
between
Rupert
and
Terrace
depends
upon
how
soon
it
will
be
possible
to
get
to
work
of
clearing
Kwinltsa
slide
off
the
road.
Agreeing
that
it
is
quite
unsafe
to
put'men
or
equipment
into
the
slide
at
this
time
owing
to
a
large
amount
of
snow
still
hovering
above
and
in
imminent
danger
of
coming
down
in
avalanche
should
its
base
be
disturbed,
public
works
officials
have
set
May
24
as
the
Ultimate
date
on
'which
the
road
should
be
opened.
Now
that
the
snow
clearing
equipment
is
functioning
again,
it
is
estimated
that
the
road
may
be
open
from
Terrace

Just
a
little
critical,
and
impatient
for
there
is
no
doubt
that
the
past
winter
was
an
unusually
tough
one
from
the
snow
standpoint
In
the
lower
Skeena
valley.
Throughout
the
witer
the
road
Throughout
the
winter
the
road
seven
miles
west
of
here.
Nearly
two
months
ago
the
big
drive
to
clear
the
road
from
Remo
west
was
started,
and
In
that
time,
29
miles
has
been
opened
up.
At
some
points
it
was
12
to
16
feet
deep,
often
packed
hard
and
mixed
with
ice.
Possibly
the
most
hazardous
point
was
on
the
Amsbury
hill
but
the
most
difficult
snow
conditions
were
found
around
Exstewf.
However,
the
bulldozer
did
a
spectacular1
Job
In
slicing
a
trench
with
the
Sicard
rotary
following
up
and
blowing
the
snow
clear
up
to
100
feet
to
the
side.
It
was
a
dawn

job
dally
for
the
valiant
snow-fighters
numbering
three
who
