ST. PAUL, Jan. 15.-This week has been
one OF the coolest ever experienced in the
Northwest, but as there is little or no wind
stirring, great part of the
ordinary discomfort is absent The
last very cold weather was four
years ago, when the great Dakota blizzard
caused over 200 deaths, but during that
memorable January the worst thing about
the weather was the cutting winds that
blinded those who were out of doors, so
that many lost their way and were frozen
to death. 1t is very noticeable that in the
present cold snap no lives have yet been
reported lost. There is little or no
snow in this section. Last night
was probably the coolest of the
season. The mercury went down until it
froze in many localities. All through the
northern part of Minnesota, in Manitoba
North Dakota and the Canadian North
west, the temperature ranged from 80 to
Oh below zero in spirit thermometers. At

Not yery Explicit Directions.

A letter was received at the Seattle post
Office Yesterday which furnishes fair
sample of the difficulties with which the
postal department has to contend. The
address on the envelope was as follows
''The Holes Sale House on frunt st, III
and 1l9. Seattle, Was" Investigation
shows that there are no such numbers on
Front street in this city, and there is no
other clue as TO where the letter should be
delivered. The post mark on the envelope
is indistinct. and all that can be deciph-
cred of it is ''gon City. Oregon" 1t is
evidently from Oregon City.
