A

In

was
to

said
Mr.

who

it

Mr.

referred
to
some
striking
instances
of
where
prominent
Canadians
were
giving
great
measure
of
time,
money
and

in

He

received
by

in

But,
no

It
paled
Into

when
compared
with

a
cougar
near
ner
home
at
Becher
Bay,
Vancouver
Island,
she
spoiled
a
record
of
single-shot
kills
which
has
brought
her
fame
across
Canada.
In
two-years
this
young
woman
has
faced
eight
cougar
cats
and
killed
each
of
seven
with
one
well-placed
shot.
In
a
lonely
ranch
high
on
the
rugged
side
of
Mount
Matheson,
Mrs.
Yates
maintains
ceaseless
vigil
over
her
sheep
protecting
them
from
merciless
mountain
lions.
Four
times
she
has
gone
out
at
night
with
her
dog
and,
holding
a
flashlight
along
the
sights
of
the
rifle,
had
killed
the
tawny
beast
lurking
ln
the
bushes.
"This
last
was
the
most
difficult
shot,"
said
Mrs.
Yates.
"The
hunt
iwas
through
such
dense
under-I
brush
It
was
hard
to
see.
Finally
I
caught
a

of

cat.
High
in

It
turned
out
to
be
a
young

one
of
the
eight
kills
that
hadn't
been
a
full-grown
torn.
Perhaps
feminine
perversity
made
the
cat
climb
so
high,
thus
spoiling
the
perfect
record
of
Canada's
