James McLean, who is,located in the Saskatoon district. The letter wadi written on January 7th and was received on February 18th. Mr. Mc- Lean" says: "I suppose you will be having a petty cold winter at home. We have a terror here. It has been 50 below on my thermometer and the Battleford government one registered 62 and hale been like thiensince be- fore Christmas. I will relate a lit- tle experietice I had on returning home with a load of freight about a month ego. You know the fia.-ne ere very Idhort ;here in winter- and as I eras travelling after dark I had my lantern, which was filled with the best American oil. It was between 40 and 50 below and so cold the oil get thick and would not come up the vvick and gradually my light got dim- mer and dimmer until it went out. You fsee the country' trail is high up and I had two teams on. The head team could not see the trail and gob off it. The hard enow carried them all eight for a rod or two and then all went down in about two end a half feet of snow, load and -all. I had to strip off my coats end' hunt the trail and shovel my way back ta it. .When I got to my stopping place it was half past one in the morning and I had my nose, ears and cheek frozen but 'everything else was all right. There are thousands of ranch- ers' cattle dead along the C. P. R. fence, where they fed first class other 'years. The railroads are block- ed. Sometimes we get 'no mail for seven or ten days and no freight for a, enoneh. Sometimes the western !towns are an the verge of famine for flour, coal oil and fuel. But we are having a few fine days now and the people wil ;soon forget all this. There was a young fellow frozen or died from exposure while ping for a, lout of hay. He lived six miles from us and had Just been 'married two months. - armers' Inetitute Meetings. -The s pplernentary meetings under the e +spices of the South Herm Farm- ers' Institute commenced at Elim- ville in the township of Usborne on Thursday of last week and closed on Thursday of this week at Bayfield.
