W. BlRNS HARRISON MILLS, Feb. 23 A terrific battle a fight for life of prodigious strength matched against savage ferocity between a hairy giant of the Sasquatch and a huge bear, which after ten minutes of wild struggle, fury and rage, ended in the strangling of bruin when the wild man of the Chehalis hinterlands crushed the life out of him. The story of this unusual drama of the wilderness was told by three Harrison River Indians who were spectators of the singular incident one evening last week as they were walking along the Chehalis river close to the canyon. "It was a skookum (strong) fight, ugh', ugh'," said Jimmy Craneback, one of the.

trio of spectators, "and as no one of our little party had ever seen a hairy giant of the Sasquatch in a fight before, I'm telling you we got the biggest kick of our life. It was a hair raising fight between savage and brute." Asked how they came to witness the unusual battle, Jimmy said, "We were on our way home after an all day unsuccessful hunt in the Chehalis mountains. We had just crossed the government road at the Chehalis river a mile or so north of the Indian village, when all at once we heard a roar in the forest ahead of us that shook the firs and cedars around and startled the crows and bluejays from their roost. We stopped to listen. Down the old trail ahead of us we could hear groans, growls, thuds and the snap and crack of rotten branches as If old Nick himself had gone off his noodle and was running amuck through the dark forest," The hunter said that they were not afraid for their own safety as each of them carried a rifle.

"But we were worried," went on Jimmy, "that some old woman of the Chehalis might be in the forest digging roots for baskets and was being mauled by a bear, for bear at this time of the year are lean, vicious and hungry. "In silence we loaded our rifles hurriedly. "Fifty yards or so down the wooded trail we came upon a sight that made our eyes pop. In awe we stopped dead in our tracks. In the fading twilight and shadowy forest we first thought we were looking on two bears fighting each other to the death.

As we stood beside a log twenty yards away we could see the great struggle of strength. There was a crunching of bones as the monsters in their rage came to grips with each other Bellingham Paper Quits Publishing Publisher S. N. Harrison has announced suspension of publication of the Bellingham Evening News, which re opened last fall after being closed several months by an American Newspaper Guild strike. Publisher Harrison said the suspension was permanent and was due to Increased costs of production and the general economic recession.

"I feel that any further attempt to sell the daily newspaper would be virtually impossible," Harrison said. The guild went on strike June 2 and the paper re opened Dec. 2. and tumbled and tossed about in their fury on the forest floor within a few feet of the Chehalis. But there was something about one of the monsters that puzzled us." The hunters were now so excited with this hitherto unwitnessed drama of the wilderness that they wished to see the victor of the contest before they raised their rifles.

"We wouldn't have raised our rifles when we did," explained Jimmy, "but it looked as if they were about to roll over the bank into the river any moment and we didn't want to lose such big game. But then we never shot, for as we raised our rifles we were startled by a yell it had in it something human and came from one of. the combatants, which to our astonished ears sounded like "poo woo 'Good, said Ike Joe as we lowered our rifles, 'boys its a Sasquatch and a bear we'll take the side of the giant, its well to be on their side. He's put up a great fight let's step in and help The boys were In a sweat, but happy the Sasquatch gave a "pooh woo," which timely utterance had no doubt saved his life. "Finally," said Jimmy, "the giant got his powerful hairy arms around the bear's neck.

It must have been a hu'm dinger of a hold for the bear began to gasp for breath, and gasping pawed the air as his tongue was hanging out. The wild man had won the fight. With a grunt he flung the carcass of the bear into the river." Asked was the Sasquatch a big fellow, Jimmy looked surprised. "You should know," he grinned, "that it takes more than an infant to choke the daylights out of a big bear." It does. THE CIIILLIWACK PROGRESS WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 1933 Langley Farmer Group To Grow Quality Products Only White Farmer Members; Contract With Safeway For 90 Tons Vegetables Twenty six farmers of Langley Prairie have signed up as members of the Langley Vegetable Growers section of the Farmers' Institute pledging themselves to quality production of a minimum total of 90 tons of carrots, beets and parsnips as the first step in the development of a white grower's vegetable industry In the Fraser Valley.

Only white farmers, members of the Langley Farmers' Institute, are eligible to participate in the marketing plan, which is to be put into effect immediately. A committee, elected by the growers, will establish grades according to Dominion government standards, and will have the authority to demand re grading or repacking of a grower's shipment if necessary. Each grower will contribute not more than three per cent of his cash returns to the organization's fund, and in the event of any fluctuations in prices during the season returns will be pooled to assure every member being paid on an equitable basis. There will be no limit on the acreage that each member may devote to truck gardening, receiving an equal share of the market. Attention to soil fertility, proper farming methods and the use of the highest quality seed were the items stressed by President J.

A. Nash who called upon Sid Gray, organizer of the group, to present the details of the plan to grower members. Mr. Gray pointed out that white growers in the Fraser Valley are capable of producing higher quality vegetables than are generally being produced. In support of the objective Mr.

Gray told the meeting he had secured a firm order for a minimum 50 tons of carrots, 25 tons of beets and 15 tons of parsnips and read a letter from L. W. Raley, president of Safeway Stores Limited, addressed to the new or ganization, confirming the negotia tions. In his letter Mr. Raley said, "In order to encourage an effort to im 1 prove the quality of vegetable products and to help those white grow ers who wish to get into the vege table growing business we pledge our full support in the marketing of the items produced.

To enable you to make definite plans we guaran tee to accept a total of 90 tons of. carrots, parsnips and beets and we will pay the full market prices for 10,000 Hold Stock In Bank Of Canada Bank of Canada's outstanding capital stock of 100,000 class shares, at a par value of $5 a share, is held by 10,019 investors, according to a return tabled in the House of Commons recently by Finance Minister Dunning. Remaining capital stock of 102, 000 class shares of the same par value is held by the finance minister, thus giving the Federal Government majority ownership. the items on dates of delivery. "In connection with our participation in this experiment will your group please bear in mind that Safeway does not wish to enter into the farming business or leave room for appearances as such nor does it wish to limit its assistance to any particular group of growers in any particular district.

"I feel quite sure that if you carry out the experiment in collaboration with the Departments of Agriculture using the seed and soil treatment recommended that the experiment will be satisfactory." Following enthusiastic reception of Mr. Gray's announcement, Dr. Wm. Newton, superintendent of the Experimental farm, Saanichton, cautioned the growers on the necessity of applying the best farming methods to obtain quality products thereby assuring vegetables that contain the highest measure of nutrition possible. President Nash called upon Clive Planta, manager of the Agricultural Marketing bureau, Vancouver, who facilitated the negotiation between the Langley white grower group and the Safeway Stores Limited, to supplement the remarks of Mr.

Gray with regard to the negotiations reached. Mr. Planta told the meeting that there was a two million dollar industry in vegetable production capable of supplementing the incomes of white farmers of the Fraser Valley if they had the will to produce quality products of unquestionable food value and market them on a high standard of packing and grades. "This market," he said, "is much greater if you consider the potential demand of the prairie provinces from Winnipeg wet." The officers of the newly formed Langley Vegetable Growers are Sid Gray, chairman; E. R.

Freeman, R. H. Helmer, John Ormrod and W. R. Major.

The meeting was attended by H. S. McLeod, Dominion certified seed inspector; Alex Hope, Reeve of Langley; officers of the Langley Exhibition association, the Potato House, Vancouver; and a representative of the Dominion government junior farmer educational plan. Surrey Co operative association is giving consideration to the establishment of a cold storage plant at Cloverdale. Lower Output Swine Expected In 1938 "The commercial pig output in 1938 will be smaller than that of 1937, owing to reduction in the 1937 fall and the 1933 spring pig crops." This Is one of the conclusions reached in the section on hogs included in the Agricultural Situation and Outlook for 1938, now available for free distribution, by application to department of agriculture at Ottawa.

The output of hogs varies considerably from year to year, reacting from the relationship between the price of hogs and the price of feed at the time of breeding. When feed prices are high relative to hog prices, as they were in the autumn of 1936, farmers tend to sell their feed grain for cash rather than feed it to hogs. Such a situation brought about a curtailment of breading in the fall of 1936 resulting In reduced farrowing in the spring of 1937 and hence marketings commenced to decline in August 1937. Further reductions in farrowings were experienced in the fall of 1937 and are expected in the spring of 1938. By the fall of 1937, feed prices had declined and it is expected that breeding will be increased next spring.

During the past year, marketings of hogs were heavy during first seven months and the total output for the twelve months was above that of 1936. Despite short time fluctuations in output, the longtime trend of hog production in Canada is upward. Fertilizer Contents Laid Down By Law Chemical fertilizers sold in Canada are required by law to contain the amounts of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash guaranteed by the manufacturer or Importer. For example, a 2 12 6 fertilizer must contain 2 per cent of nitrogen, 12 per cent of available phosphoric acid and 6 per cent of potash. This is required so that farmers and other buyers may be sure of obtaining good value for their money outlay.

Each year hundreds of samples are analysed by the official analysts and the results published so that the public may see for itself the record of each of the fertilizer companies in meeting their guarantees. The results of 1937 are now available and when carefully studied few failures to meet the required guarantee are to be found. There has been a substantial increase in the consumption of fertilizers in recent years and this may be attributed largely to increased public confidence, due to good results from their use. Every purchase of fertilizers should be based on a guaranteed analysis and every buyer of fertilizers should consult first the annual report of analyses, which may be obtained free from the publicity and extension branch, Dominion department of agriculture, Ottawa. Farm Prices Likely To Maintain Levels Farm prices for 1938 are expected to remain at about present price levels until new crops can be appraised, according to the Agricultural Situation and Outlook for the new year, issued by the department of agriculture.

The Outlook is an annual publication prepared for farmers and business groups dealing in farm products. It is an attempt to compile the combined knowledge and talent of all students of agriculture and markets in Canada. "The rise in farm product prices during 1937 was greater than in any other important commodity group," the Outlook states. "As a result farm product wholesale prices compared favorably with those of other groups for the first time in eight years.
