NATIVE PROBABLY SAVED THE
LIVES OF RICE AND WITTEilESG
___%
Percy Blatchford, who brought the
Injured man, Rice, to town from th<
Nugget road house last night says
that the party consisting of Rice, Wit
tenberg and a native had a much nar
rower escape from death by freezing
than the first reports indicate. Ho
says but for the native the two white
men would have been in a very precar
lous position and would probably have
perished. Wittenberg is a cripple and
was almost completely helpless In the
snow and Rice was apparently in
capacitated early after the party took
f,belter In the snow house which the
Eskimo hastily built when It was
realized that further progress toward
Xugget was out of the question. The

Percy Blatchford arrived from the
Nugget roadhouse last night about S
o'clock, with Bob Rice, the man who
was frozen In that locality a few days
ago. Rice was taken at once to Holy
Cross hospital and placed under the
care of Dr. Mustard. Examination dis
closes that he Is rather badly frozen
about both hands and feet The phy
sician Is of the opinion that amputa
tion of some parts of the fingers of
one or both hands may be necessarj
but the feet are not Injured to anj
great extent. In no event Is the pa
tient liable to be badly crippled as
a result of the harrowing experience
Driver Blatchford made the trip
through from Nugget In record time
despite severe weather and bad trails
all the way.

which enabled him to get around bet

party had been ofr many hours In their
-heerless shelter, the native started
>ut for help and finally succeeded In
caching the roadhouse, but In an al
host exhausted condition. Percy was
"if. by the roadhouse people that th»
tative was so weak on arrival that

tfter a brief rest he started back with
me of the roadhouse men and led
hem to the place where Rice and
Wittenberg were. In the native's
absence Rice had apparently become
lelirlous as he was found lying on

clung close to cover and was un
harmed.
On arriving at the roadhouse, it was
fuund that Rice had discarded his
woolen mittens and the leather gloves
which alone covered his hands, were
fr zen tightly to the flesh and could
not be removed by cutting. The peo
ple were compelled to thaw out the
frozen members w-lthout removing the
gloves until the leather was thawed
Ills muk'uks were also frozen to his
feet, but as he was provided with
wtilen socks they were easily removed
by cutting.
The roadhouse people took excellent
care of him and probably did all that
could possibly be done under the cir
cumstances. The native Is suffering

The following answer to the telegram
dispatched several days ago to the
Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber
relative to the mall congestion was
of Commerce relative to the mall con
gestion was received by the mall com
mittee of the local chamber yesterday:
Seattle, Feb 16.
Nome Seward Peninsula Chamber of
Commerce, Nome:
No mall congestion here. Advised
about one thousand pounds second
class at oCrdova. Wiring Washing
ton for relief.
Signed. ALASKA BUREAU.
It la thus seemingly apparent that
reason for much of the antiquated mall
deliveries of the past few weeks Is
not tracable to Seattle but that there
Is delay or congestion at some point
along the mall route Is clearly Indicat
ed by the arrival of magazines of De
cember dates before those of Novem
ber. As the telegram suggests, the
delay or congestion, which ever It may
be, Is either at Cordova or at some
point In the Interior. The reason la
hard to ascertain but It Is the Inten
tion of the mall committee to run It
down if possible to do so

Blatchford speaks highly of the na- ,
tive's grit and says he Is In some sort
a hero as he was the chief instrument ;
In saving the lives of his companions
although not nearly so well provided
with clothing as they and therefore
much less able to stand the biting
cold and blizzard. Blatchford also says
that the ..ip back was one round of
pleasure with the wind blowing a j
hurricane, a bad trail and an Injured |
. man In his sled. He never the less j
made a remarkably quick trip back to |
j town, making the distance from th I
i
| U. S. to the Nugget and thence tn
j Nome betw een morning and night.
Reports from Solomon today give
the reason for the non arrival of the
mall as being due to a terrific gait
which Is sweeping over that locality
making travel Impossible. The outside
mail arrived there at seven last night !
much delayed by storms farther down
the coast. As the gale has continued
with unabated fury during the day, ;
up to the hour of going to press, i
Johnson hau not left on the last stage
of the Journey to Nome. There Is little
prospect that the consignment will
arrive before morning any event, ac
cording to the latest reports.
According to the Seattle Trade Reg
ister, a produce magazine published in
the sound city, Alaska rutabagas
found a royal welcome on Western
avenue, the wholesale produce district
The article further states that a total
of six thousand bags of rutabagas are j
expected from the new producing sec
tlon near Haines, next summer.
The Register devotes considerable
space to boosting the cities of the
southeastern coats, but It is significant
that not a word Is said of Nome. The
various articles are all written by
leading merchants and citizens of the
aforesaid southeastern towns and are ;
excellent digests of the activltes and !
production of the districts represent '
ed. The absence of any reference to j
what Id going on in Nome, however j
leads to the thought that Nome must j
be asleep v. hen it comes to advertis
ing Its wares.
