There is no more luxuriant bush in the Dominion than that of the Urewera Country, traversed by the recent police expedition against Rua (says the Auckland "Star'""''). Every now and then the party would come out of the hv-y^.i recesses "of the forest on to ledges commnnd<ing a nanoramic -.-...view of great jpen vales and valleys. As far as the jyc could reach in all directions, for < rriiles around, the huge. faces of the ••■'inge were thicbly clad with the most "eautiful bush, running from cite lower .alleys up into the sky for thousands of "eet. In many places, Rua and his . 'ollowers had cleared these open vales, jstablishi'iig pas in some of the flattest :nc; putting the others down in gra:>s. Che latter7 was in luxuriant growth, showing'what valuable land there is in - ihe millions of acres tied nix and in Wfaori hands, in this Urewera Country: i L'he timber, also, must be of enormous ] "alae, while in numerous directions ] a here are open spaces large enough to i mild towns uj)on. j
