ROUGH
Weather 10 Westward Has
 Been Severe

According to adyices received from the westward on the Excelsior the west coast has been swept by a succession of storms for more than a month. Much suffering has been entailed by the cold weather. The temperature ranged be- tween 10 and 20 degrees below zero.
 Among those who were injured by the cold was I. Fl. Loomis, formerly a Skagway packer but now packing and freighting between Valdez and Nazina. Loomis' face, hands and feet were troz- en. and it was feared that he might be crippled for life. He had not yet been brought into Valdez wh n the Excel sior left that place.
 Another sufferer from the cold was Private McLachen, of the Thirteenth infantry, stationed at Fort Liscum. McLachen was attempting to desert He was found on the trail near Valdez unconscious. He legs and arms were badly frozen, and 1t was feared that amputauon would be necessary. Itwas stated on good authority that McLach- en had deserted from the English army and navy seven times, and that he met his misfortune on his second attempt to leave the American army.
 Among the. passengers to leave Val dez on the Excelsior were Barl Rhodes and Martin Faulkner, who had been brought in from the trail by Indians, both helplessly frozen. They were un- conscious when found. Faulkner be- came insane while on the Excelsior and he was left al Sitka.
