CUaDALaIARA GAS PLANT.

Guillermo DomlngueZ Of Los Angeles, Cal, the Mexican capital ist who last year secured from the state government Q concession for the establishment of gas plant Tn Guadalajara, arrived here this week from the States. He states that within one year from next April gas manufacturing plant, equipped to use fuel oil, will be erected in this city. The invest ment will reach at least $300000 gold, he says.
 H. N. Sessions, who arrived here from Los Angeles last week, has been engaged by Mir. Dominguez to prepare plans for the gas plant and gas mains. Preliminary plans must be presented to the state authorities in April of this year. Mr. Sessions was formerly con- nected with the electric lighting system of Los Angeles.
 According to Mir. Dominguez, an effort will be made to secure oil from either the Mexican Petroleum Company or the Pearson interests. In the event satisfactory arrange ments cannot be made with one of the Mexico concerns, California oil will be imported through the port of Manzanillo. MT. Domin- guez says he knows of oil explora- ton work now in progress in the state of Michoacan, and he has in- formation that leads him to believe that oil deposits will be opened there at an early date.
 The concession secured by Mir. Dominguez gives him the right to use any Guadalaiara street in the construction of gas mains. It Is proposed to furnish gas for light ing, cooking and heating and for power purposes. In the lighting and power fields the new enterprise will enter into competition with the Compania de Tranyias, Luz y Fuerza.
 Mir. Dominguez states that he will invest considerable personal capital, and that some Los Angeles capital will be used. A few Qua dalaiara men may also become fi- nancially interested in the enter prise. He expects to secure land for the gas plant within the next few weeks.
 Mir. Dominguez formerly resided in Hermosillo, Sonora, and he still has extensive property and other interests in Sonora. He secured the concession for a gas plant here last April, and he has $2,000 de- posited with the state government as an evidence of good faith. Since his arrival here this week Mir. Do- minguez has leased the house at 654 Hidalgo street, and he will make his home in this city.-Jalis- co Times.

Some native heifers and steers mixed sold today at $5.65, and numerous lots of fed steers this week have brought $5.50 to $5.S5. The market is probably at the highest point of the winter, and indications favor light receipts ahead and stronger prices.
 Mutton supplies have been pret- ty good this week, 10000 head, and the market is closing with an advance of 10 to 15 cents today, which is a shade higher than q week ago. Feed lots in native ter ritory are believed to be about cleaned up, and good markets are the forecast. Fluctuations have been frequent this week but of small consequence and local range of prices has been highest on the River Top lambs today sold at $6.90, some common 66tb pea fed lambs sold at $6.40, yearlings worth $5.60 to $62 25, wethers $4 80 to S5.25, ewes $460 to $495, some at the latter figure today.

Neglected Cold Threaten { From the Chicago Tribune. )

"Dont trifie with coId.'i good advice for prudent men and women It may be vital in the case of q child. Proper food, good ventlla- ton, and dry, warm clothig are the proper safeguard against colds. If they are maintained sthrough the change 'ablcweather of autumn, winter and spring the chance of a suprise from ordinary colds will be slight. But the ordinary ligl t cold will become severe If neglec. ed, and well established ripe cold is to the germs of diphtheria what honeyis to the bee. The greatest menace to child life at this season of the year is the neglected cold" Whether it is a child or adult, the cold slight or severe, the very best treatment that can be adopted is to give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is safe and sure. The great popularity and immense sale of this preparation has been at tained by it's remarkable cure of this ailment. A cold never results in pneumonia when it is given.

ABUSE Of
DISCRETION
CONTINUED From Page Two.)

for granting conjinuances If it were
where would parties litigant be? The
senior counsel stated very wildly
where they would be when he said
that If counsel in fifteen or twenty
cases, equally important, had to show
due diligence and be ready for trial
in all of them at the same time an
course 1t would be. This would mean
that the plaintiff or the defendant, as
the case might be, would have to await
his turn until other cases in which
the same counsel were engaged had re-
ceived his attention. The excuse is
properly not recognized.
What the defendant could have done
upon service of the complaint Is not
for this court to say, but It is clear
to us that the absence of its senior
counsel is cause of the continuance
being asked and that It would not have
been required if he had been here CIV
ing his professional attention to the
matter from his point of view. II was
not until November 8, a considerable
time after the term opened on Octo-
Der 81, that counsel felt that the con-
tinuance was requislte-for what rea-
sons it is not for this court to say.
1t appears from the affidavit of the
defendants former manager, Wells
that he wanted the trial at this term
being about to go away for a foreign
trip, and that counsel had not decided
to ask a continuance when one of them
at the opening Of the term told the
plaintiffs attorney that they should
insist on going to trial. It might vel
have been a question of balancing the
advantages and disadvantages of a tria

present questions of law which we
could consider and If we did not agree
with his view of them we could re-
verse his order, as, for instance, on the
subject of cumulative evidence; but
due diligence is in many cases one OF
those general terms difficult to bring
within any rules of law. The fact that
the judge exercised his discretion .r-
out any apparently improper motive or
from caprice, but upon consideration,
as far as we can say, of the facts.
makes Il impossible for this court to
say that he abused the discretion, no
matter what any one of us would have
done If the case were before us In the
first instance.
Upon the undisputed facts we could
not say that the judge abused his dis
erection, but, going further what right
have We to say that he believed the
afiidavits on the one side or those up
on the other. quite believe the state
ment of Mr.. Kinney that he considered
further time to be necessary for the
defense and that a transcript of evil
dence before the arbitrators was need
ed in order to prepare interrogation
les for HalversOn. The trial court may
have thought otherwise How do we
know what he thought, as his ruling
was based partly upon his view Of
the facts and partly upon his view or
the law?

to review exceptions to granting or re-
fusing a continuance, Queen v All

ton in cases showing an abuse Of dis
