Slide Blocks Main Road to Rainier Park The main road from Tacoma into Rainier National park is blocked with a slide and passengers are be- ing transferred around the obstruc- tion and taken on into Longmire Springs in cars above the break in the road, according to an announce- ment issued this week by the Rain- jer National Park company. The regular service of automobiles, leav- ing Tacoma at 8 a m., is being maintained. In addition to this serv- ice, passengers for the park may go as far as Ashford by railway and from there on into the park in the regular autos which meet all trains. Work of clearing the roads in the park is progressing rapidly and it is expected to have the road into Paradise Valley open for traffic to the inn, which will be ready for guests Saturday, June 25. The road is open as far as Nisqually glacier now and will be free from snow to Narada Falls by Sune 22. Sunday, July 3, is the date set for the fifth annua] ski tournament of the Northwestern Ski club, when crowds from Seattle and Tacoma go to the park to see the races and jumps and falls in the snow.
