Whether the trip is Just for
pleasure or whether there is some
thing big going to be pulled off
by the Stone-Webster syndicate
and the financiers are going over
the ground to see whether it will
go or not, remains to be seen.
There is a strong hint that the
latter is the real purpose of the
trip and citizens here will watch
with interest to see what develop
ments take place in the near flu
ture.

Starting Eucalyptus Forest
tGuadalajara Times.l

Four hundred acres of fine farra- ing land adjacent to the Nationals railway station of JocOtan, just west of Guadalaj4ra, have been. bought by Carlos B. and Harry NJ. CarOthers, the real estate men who are promoting the sale of the Vest End addition to town, from Juan Garcia Sancho. The tract will ba. immediately planted with eueaDyp~ Jus trees, to be destined for 0emr- merCial purposes.
 Messrs. Carothers have beens carrying on investigations with the Department of Agriculture as Washington in regard to the eucalyptus and have found that it is of remarkably quick growth, especially adapted for this climate, and produces a wood that success fully rivals oak. It has been stated that each eucalyptus, when we'll rooted, will increase it's value at the rate of a dollar per foot per year. The growth of these trees in the new residence additions to, Guadalsjara and at the headqnag- ters of the Amparo Mining COm- pany during the past two years has been phenomenal.
 Carothers Brothers will also plant 400 pecan trees of the Texass soft. shell variety on their land. Jalisco oceans have record evans on the Texas market of being: earlier and finer than those of thR' southern American states.

WHERE THE AUTO IS ous1lNs HORSES,

The effect of motor cars on the horse
business in France is touched upon in
a recent official report the fact being
mentioned that since 1905 horse drawn
vehicles, especially in towns, have been
replaced to large extent by me-
chanical traction, says the London
Livestock Journal. In the year 1908 the
number of horses in France showed a
dfminution Of about 5000 as compared
wit htheir number in 1905, while in 1909
the decrease was no less than 10000 as
contrasted with the returns Of 1864

In Paris the number of horses has
diminished by 1900 in two years. the
omnibus company alone accounting for
3,oOo Of that deficit in consequence OF
the adoption of the motor bus. Owing
however, to the enormous development
OF traffic, the actual mum Der Of horse
drawn vehicles in the department of
she Seine is greater than in 1901. Pri-

sEnlhe DRUNK NEW YEARS.

New York City still holds TO the Gus
tom of celebrating New Years by ex
cessive hiiarity of the sort inspired by
wine. The New York Tribune notes
that this habit remains and expresses
the hope that the community may
some day become educated up 10 saner
and more generally approvable customs
of New Year celebration.

A certain class OF pleasure seekers
retain the custom OF getting drunk as
an aid to celebration Of a holiday.
There are men who can't go past :lol-
