This Monday the Susanville Red Hat Sagebrush Divas met to enjoy warm Starbucks teas and coffees at the Safeway here in Susanville.
One of the Red Hat members saw the complimentary tea coupon in the Lassen County Times and called it to the attention of the rest of the group, who all thought it would be a great way to keep warm on these cold days.

Principal of High School and One of His Students Lost on Diamond Mountain
January 21st, 1911
Principal Hendricks, of the Lassen County high school, and one of his students, Spencer Burroughs, who started from here rather late last Saturday to go to the top of Diamond Mountain, got on a short cut trail south of the Hulsman ranch and were lost for several hours.
Some concern was felt here over their lengthened absence, and an auto was sent out to the Hulsman ranch after them. They were not there and the searching party could not find them.
However the principal and his pupil who had wandered along the mountain gorges to the east a number of miles, finally found themselves and returned to the Hulsman ranch none the worse for their long jaunt through the brush.
