But the Indians are by no means so happy to consider that the Ogopogo ig somewhere in the atten uated reaches of the Okanagan. It is char acteristic of the red man, for there are many legends and myths of the sort, that he asso ciated the idea of malign monsters with certain waters, and dreaded these because of their peculiar tenants. In Lincoln county, people say,, the earlier Indians religiously believed there was some sort of demon in Devil’s lake, and so, indeed, that usually placid and comely water came by its name. But the palefaces, nothing daunted, sit in boats all night long on the lake, while they angle for catfish, and sometimes they catch considerable numbers of these. The monster of Devil’s lake is quite extinct. Ogopogo of the Okanagan has the merit, if merit it is, of having lingered to our mod ern times, and whether you believe in him or it, the seeming fact is that a considerable number of people do believe on the warrant of their own eyes. Like the Scottish monster of Loch Ness, the Ogopogo depends not upon legend and tradition for belief, but now and then disports itself to such effect that new converts are devoutly made. They say it has a head like that of a sheep. It is singular, at the least, that astounding reports of such monsters, whether these are observed in the sea or in fresh waters, commonly agree in attributing to the specific creature a head like that of a sheep, or sometimes like that of a horse. It cannot be collusion and it would be strange indeed if such' reports had been arranged by mere coincidence of mistaken observation. Three men rowed out in a boat this time to have a nearer look at Ogopogo, but it is a shy and timid monster and, embarrassed by this attention, so we read, it curved its black coils coyly and disappeared beneath the boat—and in such propinquity that they felt it thuc], And what species of life is Ogopogo ? Nobody knows. If there is truly such a crea ture it must be the lingering survival of a time when dinosaurs and dragons were abroad, The giant lizards of Komodo were unknown, undreamed by science, a few brief years ago, and these are veritable dragons. If the coy something in Okanagan lake is not such a survival, what, then, can it be? In that direction, sir, the wail seems blank, indeed. The natural inclination is to wish poor lonely Ogopogo well, and at its distance. There is little gratification in any sort of skepticism, but it's great fun to believe.
