; .‘ SEARCHING HAS SLACKED UP ON MISSING PLANE Brant Comes in fo Juneau with Searching Party- Wanderer Due Tonight Search activities for the missing Lon Cope Marine Airways plane and five passengers became spas- modic today as heavy weather held all planes to the ground and ham- pered land parties The Bureau of Fisheries flagship Brant docked here late last night after a reconnaissance of the gen- eral: locale with no results to show. | The Wanderer is due in tonigh* i from the district Plans this afternoon are indefin- ite and no immediate program has as yet been formulated. The Brant may go out tomorrow. Nine days of fruitless hunting with airplanes, government boats and private boats and land parties has brought the searchers to a vir- tual standstill.

Racers in the downhill event are to meet with officials at 10 o'clock omorrow morning at the tent on the second meadow, it was announced AR, B LI PR P AU mmn e - THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, FEB. 21, 1939.

The downhill | race, a point-to-point event, will | start promptly at 11 o'clock, finish- ing a few minutes later at the lower | shelter cabin, on the first meadow just be low the Treadwell Ditch. Spectators are advised that the best point of vantage for the viewing of the downhill race will be at the new shelter cabin on the second meadow. There they will be able to see the runners when they hit their | greatest speeds, making a schuss down the steep open slope of the sla- lom course, just after breaking out of the woods after running the twist- {ing cut-out course down from the open ridge above. Spectators Warned Spectators are, however, warned for their own safety as well as that of the racers, to stay off the trails between the first and second mead- ows between 11 o'clock and 1:45 o'clock. They are also requested to walk along the edges of the trails, that no footholes may be left in the | skiing surfaces. After viewing the downhill race spectators at the upper shelter cab- in will also be in position to view the slalom event, which will be run off on the second-meadow course chortly following the finish of the downhill race.
