reporting to headquarters. a practiced

of maraudinc coyotes, which she has
found prowling around her province in
search OF any living prey in which to
set their destructive teeth
Here is Miss Daggett's description of

ITO the east shoulder of snowy
Shasta and an unseen neighbor lookout
on Eagle peak: farther to the south.
the high Jagged edge of Trinity county.
and just discernible with the glasses a
shining new cabin on Packers peak
In the west behind Orleans mountain
with its ever watchful occupant, a faint
glimpse of the shining Pacific showing
with favorable sunset, and all in be-
tween a seeming wilderness of ridges
and gu1ches, making up what is said
to he one OF the finest continuous
views in this western country"
