NO MAIL TODAY DUE
TO COLD BLOCKADE

Grand Junction has had no eastern
mail today, due to the cold block

atures which have hampered the Rio
Grande in the operation of trains 10
great extent. Local officials, asked
why the trains were reported late this
afternoon, stated that the extreme
cold on the pass and all along the
line had been freezing the water
pipes and engines SO that they could
scarcely make any headway. The
cold would not be SO bad but for the
bitter winds which are driving
through the hills.
All the trains due last night and
the morning train No. were report
ed for 5 o'clock this afternoon, and
they will probably be later than that
getting in. AS result there has
been very little moving around of
local people.
Never in the history of the Rio
Grande has the temperature so him
dered the movement of trains. The
trainmen say ii is the coldest snap
they ever heard of or experienced in
