SPOKANE, Wash. March 2.-Rea
Yer lake, in Okanogan county is dis
appearing. This little body of water
has been favorite fishing and hunt
ing resort for many years-in fact. as
long as people living in Bodie Camp
can remember. The lake covers sey-
eral acres of ground and is located
about four miles northwest of Rodie
camp. Its gradual disappearance is
a cause of much comment and specula
ton among settlers of that locality
who know of no reason for the dis
appearance of the water.
The lake has been very much in an
pearance like other lakes in Okanogan
county and no thought of a subterra
mean outlet has been held. Last Oc-
tober ths water began to disa ppear
and Ia 5" n November the lake froze

before to the knowledge of any
white people, but some old Indians
say the same thing occurred years
ago, before any White people had set
tied on the reservation. Some people
believe the lake body to be the era
ter of an extinct volcano, and many
theories are advanced for the disap-
pearance of the water, but the lake,
or what is left of it is surrounded
with rim Of arenaceous shale, which
biologists say precludes the posi-
bility of its being an ancient crater.
When water filled the now almost
empty basin, ducks were plentiful in
the spring and fall and hunters found
equal pleasure with fishermen on its
boundaries. Occasionally now a bird
lights on the muddy shore, and the
fisherman has disposed of his fishing
rod and now resorts to a crooked stick
with which he lies down and reaches
under the ice and pulls out his fish.
In this manner man named Krall
is said to have secured all the fish he
could carry in a short time. A pas
