A dividend of two per cent on
the preferred stock and four per
cent on the common stock Of the
Central Pacific Railway Company
was declared by the board-of di-
rectors at meeting held at Salt

right of way from Odgen to Sparks
to the Southern Pacific.
At a meeting of the Reno Build
ers' Association last week it was
resolved that mechanics in the
building trades be employed only
on the open-shop basis. This
action, which declares Reno an
open town for labor, is a result
of the strike declared by the
plumbers recently, and the en-
ployment of non-union men.

The message from Mr.. Bryan came
While Judge Taft was addressing the
general conference of the Women's
Foreign Missionary society of the NJ
E. church. He received the message

swered il at once.
In his address to the women, having
been fiatteringly introduced by Bishop
J. c. Hartzell, Judge Taft gave an en-
thusiastic commendation of foreign
mission work His experience in the
far east, he said. had taught him the
value of this work in uplifting those
people. and he commented upon the
elevating effect of Christianity, and es-
pecially upon the heather women.
In the Philippines, Judge Taft as
serted. the present degree of success in
civilization and government was made
possible through the influence of Chris
tianity.
The speaker was warmly and enthusi-
astically received by the members of
the conference. Each had provided
herself with small American flag. The
presence of Judge Taft was the signal
for pretty demonstration. At the end
of his speech he was overwhelmed with
personal congratulations on his sue
cess at the polls.
Judge Taft tonight will be the hon
'ored guest at the twenty-ninth annual
dinner of the Commercial club. to be
held at the Queen City club. Judge Taft
has been a member of this exclusive or
ganiZation for fifteen years. and his
presence tonight is to be made much
of as local celebration.
