week has been deyasting the slopes
of the San Bernardino range north
of this city, last night stretched for
four miles along the backbone of
the range and the whole valley is
Illuminated by the glare of the
burning timber.
The exhausted rangers and their
forces have given up the fight,
and it is believed that the fire will
run unchecked until the entire
range is laid bare. Millions of dol

stumps or are in the path of the

City of Mexico.-The splendid es-

state of Chihuahua, Mexico. is prob
ably without equal. Terrazas is said
to own the greatest farm in the world.
His estate includes 5000 900 acres of
fertile land and extends $50 miles
east and west and 200 miles north and
south. On its mountains and through
it's valleys roam over 1000, 900 cattle.

these being tended by an army of g.
900 horsemen, herdsmen and shep-
herds and hunters. Each year at least
10000 head of cattle and 100 600
sheep are slaughtered, dressed and
packed, this ranch being the only one
in the world which maintains its own
slaughtering and packing plant.
On this gigantic estate are five res
ervoirs. which cost s5O0,000, and 900
wells, which cost over another $780,

the fight and the name was changed
to Trask rock in commemoration OF
his bravery. Trask at the time of the
war was a boy of eighteen. and long
after the war he visited the site of
