Here's the answer: The person who ever it Is at 17 Main street, Seattle, who wants his mall sent from Portland wrote a postal giving his address and then failed to sign his name. He probably Imagines that he Is so well known that the postmaster will rec ognise the handwriting, but he Isn't, and so letters for the "917" man are still being held at -the postofflce, gen eral delivery. la understood to have been in the neigh borhood of 150,000.
