L. Rankin, super visor of the Slualaw national forest. The Mount Hebo burn, which was one of the largest tracts of burned- over land in the West, was caused by the great fire of 1861, when the In dians set fire to the timber of the Coast and destroyed vast areas. Much of this was re-forested through nat- ural agencies, but the tract In Tilla mook county was too vast an area for the wind to carry the tree seeds, hence the work has had to be under taken by man’s hand. In all 6000 acres will have been re-planted, and It is estimated that the whole tract will be bearing saw timber within 40 years. Another tract of equal size lies in the northwestern portion of Lane county, back of Cape Perpetua, and the re forestation of this tract next i will be undertaken.

The invaders were not opposed, ac complishing their search without the slightest violence, taking the body from a grave in Hidalgo cemetery al most within sight of the Texas bor der. The eel sure was divested of pos sibly grave aspects in International complications by reason of the fact that the party was virtually making use of permission granted officially by Mexican federal authorities several days ago for the recovery of the body. This permission had been given to United Stales Consul Garrett at Nue vo Laredo, but he did not get the body because of what ho reported as dan gers attending the search for it in the immediate vicinity of Hidalgo. Vergara was shot twice through the head and once through the neck, his skull was crushed as by a blow from a rifle butt and the charred fingers of the left hand indicated that he had been tortured before being put to death. Identification was made by Vor- gara'a eon and by numerous friends, many of whom were In the party of nine, which made the grim journey to the Hidalgo cemetery during the early morning hours.
