-w PAGE TWO 'Mysterious Old Bog PI'S PASTURE LUBES IT1S Old Timers Recall storiei About Treacherous Spot Near Zena ZENA, Sept 2. Fifty years ago when wild game was plenti ful around Zena, "Pike's pasture" was a favorite hunting ground. But old timers always 'warned newcomers in the neighborhood of the treacherous bog or sink, hole located there. Man or 'animal venturing to cross this bog would be sucked down into Its depths and would be unable to extricate himself without assistance. Th activities of this bog are not ended as Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Worthington found to their cost recently. Two weeks ago their work team disappeared. After hunting through the "Pike pas ture" time and again they discov ered the horses dead bodies sank in the bog with only the tops of their backs ana heads visible. I Mr. and Mrs. Worthington are fully convinced that their two cows which mysteriously disap peared two years ago and of which they found no trace, died in the bog also. Numerous other cattle which have been pastured in "Pike's pasture" by neighbors, have been lost from time to time. No one would think to look at this verdant bog that it would "prove to be a veritable octopus, sucking the. life out of its victims. CD. ..

September 27, 1929 Lives 1 RECORD Largest Farm of Kind Upon Coast to be Located At Lake Labish LABISH. Sept 2. Next spring will reveal Labish as the possessor of the largest single patch of big onions on the Pacific coast. This fact was brought to light yester day by A. F. Hayes, manager of the huge Hayes' company farm. Two hundred and fifty acres, which were leased to set raisers the past season, will be utilised for Oregon Yellow Danvers. The set acreage for next year will thus be reduced to 30 acres. All of the set-raising renters' contracts ex pired with this year's harvest. This news has been greeted with Borne satisfaction by laborers as it will necessitate the employ ing of about 300 additional hands during the summer months. A slseable crew will be retained through the winter, also. The whole vast acreage will be man aged by A. E. Hayes, although he will be aided by several experi enced foremen. H. P. Hayes Is the present onion foreman, managing the 65 acres raised by the company this season. The recent showers caught a few raisers with their onions still curing In the field hut the rain was so light that it did little dam age. However, the few remaining in the fields kye being rushed Into the onion houses with great celer ity since the raisers, knowing the vagaries of Jupiter Pluvius are taking no chances.

A very few have been sold recently for $1 to $1.25. Such as are sold at this price are usually tooned In the Held by hand. The usual reason for selling from the field Is lack of storage room. The Lake could easily stand another large onion house. Because of the unusuany dry summer this season's potato crop Is considerably below normal. Lit tle loss will be suffered by local farmers, however, as few were planted this year. Reports are that prices will be exceptionally higa on the Irish delectables this sea son.
