Tales From Tall Timber Heard in Northwest

March 17, 1949, Statesville Daily Record, North Carolina, USA

(Also published March 18, 1949, Edwardsville Intelligencer, Edwardsville, Ill., USA.)

Rumy Lake , B.C., (UP)—Sasquatch and Cadbororsaurus, each of whom would be the “catch of the year” for any zoo in the country, remain allergic to the 20^th century.

Cadborosaurus, in fact, hasn't been heard from in many months. Previously, natives and fishermen

Sasquatch supposedly emerged from the forests a short time ago. Indians long had claimed the existence

of a tribe of hairy giants not far from the Washington State border. The native word for giant is "Sasquatch."
