"SERPENT" IN LAKE
SCARES INDIANS
PiuteS' Tradition Is Laid to
Illusion of Shadows by
Nevada Scholars.
~ Consolidated Press.

~ Consolidated Press.
RENO. New, November 6.-Little
Bear, stalwart Piute brave has
cached his light canoe on the shore
cf Pyramid Lake and Is spending his
hours ashore with his squaw, papoose
and trusty pipe. To understanding
white friends Little Bear relates thai
he has seen and narrowly escaped the
great serpent that rules the troubled
lake waters: to the wise palefaceS he
refuses TO talk. for the wise ones have
said the Piutes are foolish to speak
OF What is not.
From the childhood of the tribe the
sea serpent has been the pet legend
Of the Piutes dwelling along the shores
of the great lake northeast of Reno.
The earliest white adventurers We're
told by friendly Indians Of the terrible
monster that Journeys TO the lake from
the distant ocean through a dark sub.
terranean passage. Many. OF course.
have Scoffed at the legend, but more
than one white hunter or trapper ad-
mits having experienced a thrill when
he saw something remarkably resem-
bling the monster of Indian legend.
Many tales are told Of empty canoes
found floating on the water. of lodges
where squaw and papoose mourn for
lost brave. or Of VoNagers deVoured
pA lne lplIlble Teplile. ne EIutcS
aSsert the monster is of incredible
length. armed with horns. hdeous
jaws and murderous teeth. Few IN
dams will venture out in their canoes
when its presence is suspected.
Nevada University scientists recent
ly investigated the reported appear
ance of the serpent, and report 1t was
an optical illusion caused by shifting
shadows cast by cliffs, rocky lake bed
and restless waters, but admitted the
resemblance 70 a submerged serpent
was remarkable. Other investigators
assert the illusion results from myriads
Of tiny worms, uniting to form a
vast, serpentine mass in the water.
But these eXpla anations are secuted
. ny the Piutes. who graVely insist they
have seen the monstrous reptile with
eyes that do not lie.
Little Bear tells those who under
stand that in the silent hour of trout
fishing the great serpent stole upon
him and only by swift handling of his
canoe was he able to reach shore. And
on shore he remains.

erection of cooperative creamery,
which was presented to the Milroy
Community Club meeting last Thurs
day night The farmers are watch
ing the Redwood Falls business men
to see what calibre they are. Some
have already. expressed themselves
that they should be able to do as well
as Milroy. The business men of Mil
roy are pulling together with the
farmers for everything that is of
benefit to the community. The re-
cent organization of the Community
Club is clear demonstration of this.
Anyone who will draw lesson from
Milroy can get it free. If you want

REDWOOD COUNTY
GETS $22,33O OF
STATE ROAD AID

Construction of a good road be-
tween Thief River Falls and The Mar
rows on Red Lake will be advanced
by special board allotments -totaling
500, 900 for the undertaking. The
special grants follows: Beltrami
county, $4,000 for the Red Lake Mar
rows road, So, for special mainten-
ance, ETC., and $4,000 for Bemidji-
Puposky project; Carlton county,
$4,000 for the Nickerson- Wrenshall
road; Clearwater county, $4,000 for
road north from Itasca State park I;
Dakota county, $4,000 for Mendoza

$500 for East and West road;' Pen
nington county, $4,000 for Red Lake
Narrows project; Stearns county,
$4,000 for ST. Johns Collegeville

for new Mississippi River bridge;
Washington county, $4,000 toward
Bayport-Hudson aoad and $4,000
toward Lincoln and Deliwood paw
ing, and Lake of the Woods county,
.$7,705 for special maintenance of
state aid roads.
Under the state road aid plan, a
one-mill tax is levied Oh ali general
property in Minnesota, but no coun-
ty can receive more than 3 %or less
than 1 per cent under the apportion-
ment. The aim is to shift part OF
the expense of. building needed roads
in counties Of small taxable wealth
to those of larger assessment valua-
tions, and in that way insure more
connected and uniform building OF
roads. While the principle is like
that in the Babcock plan and under
/, the new gasoline tax, as stated, state
aid is usable only by counties and
on the important roads aside from
the state trunks on. Babcock high
ways.
