The Sternbergs have been having considerable trouble with this contract, owing to quicksand, which compels them to back up and do much of the work over again. It will be two 'or three months yet before the contract is completed. From Rochester the crew will be transferred to Celina, Ohio, where the Sternbergs have a big contract. . \ Christmas was as fine a winter day as one could ask for, although the snow which was promised for that day by the forecast did not arrive until in the evening and then only in a very light form. It was not a “green" Christmas, however, for there has been some snow on the ground since Nov. 28th, and the sleet of a few days ago was still frozen on the earth's surface. The weather continues ideal and we do not recall a longer period of beautiful weather than we have had this fall. W. W. Miller writes to have the address of his Republican changed to 226 8. Molino street, Pasadena, Calif,, and states that himself and family are not yet permanently located. He writes: “We are enjoying the famous southern California weather, which we find to be as represented. Some days are a little cool for summer clothing, but everything In the nature of vegetation is green. The city is beautiful and very aristocratic. Our trip out here was uneventful, but very enjoyable and yery interesting. Will write more next time.”
