The first wedding ceremony that has
been performed at Elburz for man Y
years took place at the CHASER ranch
on Christmas day at high noon when
Miss Laura, the eldest daughter, became
the bride of Mr.. @. D. Boyd.
A large number of Elko friends went
to Elburz to witness the ceremony. The
bride was accompanied by her sister,
Miss Carrie. and the groom was sup
ported by his brother, Allen BOYD.
George CHASER gave the bride away.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Geo. Fl. Greenfield. After the cere-
money an elaborate wedding dinner was
served to about forty guests assembled
at the home and the large number of
gifts received attest the high esteem in
which the newly welded are held in the
community.
The bride is one of Elko county's
charming young ladies and the Western
Pacific contractor is to be congratulated
on the choice he has made Mr.. Boyd
has been in this part of the county
for some time and has made many
friends during his stay here This
happy union is merely foretoken of
the good things that are to follow the
advent Of the Western Pacific. Mr..
and Mrs. Boyd will spend the winter in
Elko county.

latiOns and wishes them both ,n,,,b

The Christmas Tree

There was large crowd at the Opera
House Thursday night to see the
Christmas tree and to enjoy the exer-
cises. Nearly all the children in Elko
and vicinity were out and a royal good
time they had.
Judge Brown was master of cere-
monies and Mrs. Frederick Davis pre-
sided at the piano. Under their direc-
ton the program as published in
Thursdays issue was rendered without
break. While they did their parts
excellently, the children did their part
well and the singing, recitation and
drill were splendid.
AS usual on such occasions the younp
people were full of excitement and
made plenty of noise. All were waiting
for the arrival of Santa Claus and the
anxiety to see the merry old fellow
come prancing in could not be sup
pressed.
After the exercises the curtain was
slowly raised and two beautiful ever
green trees, handsomely decorated and
respondent with electrice lights, broke
on the view. This reused the young
sters and the hall was filled with their
noise which was increaaed when, after
a short delay, Santa Claus came gallop-
ing in. He spoke a few words to the
children and then left for Carlin by the
way of Tuscarora
The distribution of the presents, pro-
vided by the geneous people of the
town, followed and every child whose
name had been given to the committee
on presents, received a beautiful pres
ent, ball of pop corn, q box of candy
and sack of nuts and all went home as
happy any children in the land.
The exercise were a success through
out and the INDEPENDENT extends the
thanks of the children to the people of
the town who made Christmas eve of
1908 most enjoyable event in their
lives.

authorities to do something to arouse
the public to the danger from the tele-
phone, the disk being a collector Of
germs to some extent. Telephones
should be washed with soap and water
and kept as clean as possible, a good
disinfectant also being necessary. The
telephone companies should keep pub
lie instruments and the booths in a
clean condition. II Is suggested that
the telephone be not held to the mouth,
but against the breast when talking
and another precaution is to place
paper or linen over the transmitter.
