"7$TpWxfByvr ' THE DAILY COOS AY TIMES, MARSHF1ELO, OREGON, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1907. TOURIST SENSATION OF SANTA ANITA CANYON Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 30. One o the tourist attractions this winter is the woman hermit of Big Santa Anita Canyon, near Sierra Madra. "Hermit parties" arc being made up in Los Angeles and Pasade na to plunge into the mountains to call on tho lady and attempt to pump her as to her pa3t. Tho woman is said to hoar tho name of Readscll nnd Is an odd char acter. Some say she is one of tho women who went to Alaska in the famous Bhipload of theatrical stars shipped to Nome by "Lucky" Bald win. She is so soured on Alaska, and indeed; on all modern life, that she tells visitors that she spent 31 days in a fast that was almost one long bath of purification from tho taste and smell of civilization. Ono un complimentary tourist says sho has the most exquisitely developed grouch on record. Tho woman rents a little patch of land in tho canyon from "Lucky" Baldwin, upon which sho has erected a hut of boulders, boards and canvas. Tho inside is strewn with pine need les and spread hero and there with beautiful Alaskan furs. About tn i walls are pictures which tho Boston public library -would order to be put in trousers or petticoats. Sho has a piano and sometimes forgets her grouch and plays to callers. Her costume would astonish the ordinary concert-goer. Sho wears a robo mado of rough gunnysacks. Her feet and legs aro bare except for sandals which half hido her Trllbys. She wears no hat, but sho does not scorn hairpins. She has a small but well selected library and talks graccfuly. She sleeps out of doors in a sort of pen mado of canvas and gunny sacks. Sho has no bed or cot, but a thick carpet of plno needles. How ever, sho couldn't resist having a chic, Frenchy dressing tablo and mirror in tho pen. It is the only thing to show that sorao animal does not inhabit the place. Of course; madamo does not in dulge in meat. Sho survives on fruit, which sho picks herself in "Lucky" Baldwin's orchard and which can be seen drying round the place. Every day sho takes a bath 20 minutes long. Down the slope below her hut is a big pool in tho arroyo. There sho does tho Venus act dally. She is proud of the mus cles of her arms and legs. About a mile farther up tho can yon is a man hermit, an Arabian, who ekes out his living by finding herbs and roots to sell to druggists. Tho gossips are hoping a romance Will result from the propinquity of tho ho -and she hermits. Meanwhile the woman is tho social sensation of tho Sierras. The Steamer QET YOUR M. F.

Tho prizes offered aro the greastest ever presented in the West. rm, ,.,rmm will be excellent.

"The ofllcers of tho Oregon Dairy Association want you to come pre pared to ask questions, to feel that you are present to bo benefitted, and 'to appreciate that tho discussion of tho papers after they are delivered is more valuable than tho papers themselves, for this character of dis cussion brings out all tha strong points.
