Ogopogos. In the case of British Columbia's ogopogos, there appeared to be neither an ingenious Stone nor a Copycat Mortison. For many years, clear-sighted Indians living on the shores of Williams and Okanagan Lakes have reported the appearance of a large lake-serpent. Not so quick-eyed, white men did not discover it until four years ago. Those who know describe the animal as being a gentle monster 30 ft. long, with harmless vegetarian habits. It has the peaceful face of a sheep, the head of a bulldog. It propels its long brownish-green body through the water by four flippers, occasionally rearing its great head like a gigantic water snake. Most northwestern newsmen decline to believe in its existence but admit that any British Columbian monster which can get itself reported in the New York Times must be stimulating to the resort trade.
