FLAVIN-STUDDEN.

Cupid and Santa Claus worked to-
gether in helping Mr.. John j. Flayin

Christmas. They celebrated by getting
quietly married in the District Judges
chambers in Eureka Saturday evening.
December "a, 1904. Judge Peter Breen
officiated at the ceremony, and only Mr..
and Mrs Ed Bergman were present at
the wedding,
The bride is tho niece Of Ed Berry

THE WESTERN PACIFIC.
Alliances Between Railroad Magnates
Make New Road Doubtful.

The Elko Free of Dec. 28 says Tn
Western Pacific project may yet b
abandoned. We are in receipt of wor,
from San Francisco, from n who be
lieves himself in possession of reliabl,
information. which states that the con
~struction of the Western Pacific by tn,
Goulds is likely to be abandoned, or a,
least indefinitely postponed, as a re
suit of recent heavy trading in Western
railroad securities. by means of which
the relation of the Gould and Harri.
man interests are to become much
closer, and the Gould system given
much more advantageous connections
with the Pacific Coast by the Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe. The following
recent dispatch from Wall street seems
to fit in this connection:
ut seems to be the belief Of Wall
street that the Rockefellers and E. H.
Hartman, through recent heavy pur.
cha ses of Santa Fe stock, are now in q
position to control the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe, and Wall street has q
theory that if the Northern Securities
decision gives Hartman a majority of
the Northern Pacific shares q trade will
be made between Hartman and the
Rockefellers by which the Santa Fe will
pass, as did the Southern Pacific, under
the control of the Union Pacific, while
the Rockefellers will take the Northern
Pacific and merge it with the Chicago,
Milwaukee g. st. Paul.
ut is pointed out in the same connec-
ton that George J. Gould is already
a stakeholder aud member OF the execu.
tive committee of the Union Pacific,
and that there are indications that his
relations with Hartman are to become
still closer. One confederation for this
will be Harriman's REIMBURSEMENT to
Gould of his stock in the Baltimore q
Ohio, in which Gould Is said to be de-.
sirous of securing representation. The
Gould lines, under the new arrange.
ment. will become a favored connection
OF the Southern Pacific and the Santa
Fe, and Gould will thus be relieved of
the necessity Of building the Western
Pacific"
In the meantime, work ON the pro.
posed new line is advancing with rapid
strides in both California and Ne
vada, and the belief is almost general
that the Western Pacific is assured.

EUREKA UNDER SNOW MANTLE.
Christmas Merrily Celebrated and
Santa Lost None of His Goodness.

Eureka was treated to q Christmas
snowstorm, followed by a decided drop
in the temperature. It was Friday
morning when the first fakes fell, and
during the night about six inches Of
snow came down. Saturday was
partly fair, but the weather did not
slacken the interest in the preparations
being made for Christmas.
The festivities began with the enter
tainments at the Episcopal and Presby-
terrain Churches in Eureka, the Metho-
dist Church on Ruby Hill, and the
school house at the Diamond. The
cheering hues Of the Christmas tide and
the brightly lighted trees gave forth a
welcome to the large numbers who
filled the buildings. The programmes
Of Christmas music. songs, Rotations,
cantatas, were we'll selected and ex-
cellently rendered. The presents for
the children were not placed on the
trees, but at the proper time they were
distributed by Santa Claus and Mrs.
Santa Claus.
Christmas morning was clear and
bracing. The only religious services
were at the Catholic Church, where
Rev. Father Manion celebrated three
Masses. At the last Mass he preached
a very impressive sermon on the Ma
tivity. and gave Benediction with the
Blessed Sacrament.
At the homes the day was observed
as a family holiday, and where there
were no Christmas trees. members of
the family and friends exchanged gifts.
BY night the thermometer was
dangerously neal zero and the Yule log
was burning in every home, round
which the cozy gatherings were of good
cheer and peace on earth:

SUCCESS SOCIAL CLUB.
Yuletide Assembly Wednesday an
Enjoyable Event.

Enjoyable Event.
Nothing is more jolly for a holiday
event than a club entertainment. All
gatherings during the holiday season
are bound to be gay. and Wednesday
evenings affair by the Success Social
Club at the Colonnado was a thorough
success. The club rooms were pref
tily decorated with little Christmas
trees and holly berries, and the lads
and maids made goo-goo eyes at
the mistletoe thai was in evidence in
conspicuous places in the rooms. No
record was kept of the luck
of the young men. After a de-
lightful programme, each one of the
members and guests was presented
with a gift from the Christmas tree
and a stocking of candy. Then dane.
ing began and several hours went
merrily. The guests of the evening
were received by the members of the
club and one and all of the forty pres
ent had a most enjoyable time. Re.
freshments were served during the
evening.
