Madera Beset Available The site of the modern Elkhorn Guest Ranch was once a log cabin at the very end of the trail. Here the 'original building was erected by Temple Pope many years ago. He kept a pack train and supplies to accommodate early explorers and miners Nearly 35 years ago the ' first building burned down and was re placed by another log structure. This was thea site of the FJkhorn postOffice. In the heavy snow of 1937 the roof -of this building caved in, but the log frame work was still good. It is this frame work of logs than now support j the lodge. Valley L achaaged The atmosphere of the whole valley Is of nature left unchanged. To iencounter deer, bear and cougar is not uncommon, many motorists have learned, much to theirj sorrow, with dented fenders and grills after meeting a deer on a sharp curve. Old orchards planted by early pioneer are well patronized by bear; as are the wild huck4berry and blackberry patches.Cfiia may evens encounter wiljlcSTs and cou gar occasionally crossing the coun ty road, or view the dead carcass f of a deer recently killed by one of these cunning cats. j There is nd rural mail delivery, nor ny" electricity. This valley ls j much as it was 50 years ago. More ! and more city people are beini; i drawn here by the primitive beau- j ty ojf such descriptively named mountains as Butcher Knife Frog Mt., Henline, Stack mountnn. and the lure of trout in the rushing J Little North Fork. Ne Hillbillies Here In this wild, untamed" region on ' would expect to find hermits, hill ; billies, and other recluses. But sur j prUingiy enough the Elkhorn reai j dents are up and coming mdlvi i duals At the Guest Ranch one is greeted by two genial, cultured people, Kenneth and Frances Ran dall. Randall is a graduate of the law school of Willamette univer t sity at Salem. They moved here, ' after, spending 40 years?, aa city i dwellers, to erect their Guest Ranch. They raise their own beef, chickens and agga for their table. Their lodge is a modern' home et in rustle surroundings. A home system furnish light, and gas is used for cooking, refrigeration and heat. A new dining room has been added recently to seat 20 people. To make a living and live com fortably without modern conven iences. Elkhorn families are re sourceful and industrious. One woman actually dug her own base ment and built her own hutne. She also saws her own wood. Walking Crechcter Another. Mrs. Louie Ray, is quite well known in the surround ing vicinity for her beautiful cro chet work. Mrs. Ray is never idle. In her pocket she carries a spool of thread, ready to crochet at all times. She is often seen taking an afternoon walk with the crochet hook flying in her nimble fingers, murmuring "double crochet, chain I, doubl crochet, chain 2." Another resident, Ike Myers, has tamed a herd of wild deer. The ti- ' mid creatures actually eat outbf his hand. He is also developing bis own private fish pond. Most of the Elkhorn man are loggers, depending art the' abund ance of timber for their living. In th center of the valley, however, are two bright green fields, be longing to Bill Bickett, Elkhorn's only farmer. From ham one may purchase top grade beef, fresh country eggs, or a cord of wood. 11 Atespd School Near here is th Clkhorn school house. A small on room building, where 11 Elkhorn small fry learn their three H's. At th lower end of th valley Is th land mark known as "King Tut's Tomb." This Is a high jut ting pile of rocks, believed by some to be an Indian burial ground. A good many years ago the center of this tuck was, blasted out by carious white men in 'an attempt to discover Indian relics. The at tempt proved unsuccessful and the rock with its gaping hole still stands. w gaaaeMaats Mara awed A year ago this entire valley was marooned for severs! weeks, when a logging truck went through the bridge crossing . the Little North Fork. All residents took the acci dent calmly in their stride, even two expectant mothers. When a re porter phoned in. over the State maintained Forest Service line, asking if anyone was in need of food. Zona Sue ho, a dauntless soul, but a typical Elkhorner. dryly an swered, "No, we all have food, but we could use a little 'fires-water'.'' r?a r:ici mi till. . . aepoy 1 CASH YOU CCT snoisito ing IS Mas. 9.2I 15 92 21.78 70jSs. 7.39 12 77 17 43 Icon, W mK f p,. mm m w 1 " jSOO Need money for . . asedical or donta iMiun . . . tMfoaal noods ... or any good purpoM?
