San Francisco, Dec. 2S Sir Charles
Rivers Wilson, mas concluded that he

stockholders ia the Central Pacific does
not, however, think his visit here a total
loss, and viii prOlong his stay till Thurs
day, obtaining all the Information posi-
bic regarding the management of the
road and the reason why it has produced
no profits under the lease to the southern
Pacific company.
II viii be able TO accomplish but little
here, said sir Charles. The railroad
gentlemen out this way are only opera
tors, mere subOrdInates. I am merely
getting Information and then I snail pro

BOwack was wrong ia saying chat no div
idends had been paid on Central Pacific
stock for four years.
~ nder the old lease per cent was
paid up to the first Of last y ear After
that date we were entitled to all the re-
celpts above the operating expenses
and the payment OF interest but
that has resulted in nothing, and it is TO
put an end to this condition Of affairs, if
possible, that 1 have come out here.

The County Commissioners viii Use tho
Last $4,000 or the Court House Bond
Issue
The county commissioners are IN ses-

endorse the last $25, 900 of the court house
bond issue. The county voted $4,000
bonds for the court house The commits
sioners at the time said that S125,O0O was
all they needed.
Chairman Knight said to a JOURNAL
reporter today that the formal issuing of
the bonds was done simply to cave the
trouble Of having them reprinted when
the new board goes in next month. BY
endorsing them with the present county
board they made worth tnelr face

Mr. Knight said tha. the s25,O00 addi-
tionaI would be needed before the
court house was completed. ''When we
said 1925 900 would be enough" he says,
''we thought we could use the proceeds
from the sale of the old court house in
building the new one. over $4,000 or
one -half the contract price has already
been paid to the contractors and the
architect in the four estimates"
