DEAR FRANK:
Just a little note to let you
know I've found the place for
you. For two reasons, it's the
place: One is that you made a
study, as I recall, of ichthyology
(which is a S9 way of saying
that you studied fish life in your
undergraduate days), and the
other is my memory of how
dearly you loved to fish in Wat
son lake.
You're probably asking, what
the heck has that got to do with
you? It's just this: We've just
returned from two Oregon dude
ranches where there are fish,
lots of 'em. You'll have to work
to get them out of the streams
or lakes. But these dude ranch
owners guarantee they're there,
limit catches of trout virtually
very day. And the work will
do you good, getting off some of
the excess fat I know you've ac
cumulated since you shed
Uncle's very best uniform.
One of these dude ranches Is
the Bar M. It's located on the
Umatilla river m the rough
country about 25 miles east of
Pendleton, the famed Round-Up
city, and is owned and operated
by Howard (Howdy) Baker and
The other is the Lazy T. lo
cated further on over in North
eastern Oregon near Joseph and
Enterprise, once the stamping
Sound of the noted rez Perce
dian leader. Chief Josrph. It's
wned by Cnaries A. (Chuck)
vrwald and his wile, Muriel.
There are a number of dude
ruches in Oregon. I only know
by personal experience about
thjM two, but if they're all
uliko and I'm certain they
asuat bo they're the living ex
atpiifkrttion of hospitality.
And the food. Frank, the only
thing I warn you against is that
you must be prepared to eat
well and plenty. It'll be on the
table in great quantities, good,
wholesome and flavored with
the touch that home cooking
can give, and you just won i De
able to pass up.
But fishing anrt eating aren t
the whole story. There are also
horseback riding and pacR
trips, canoeing, hunting, swim
ming. The Bar M lias a nata
torium fed from Bingham hot
springs, at the lodge.
You're asking, what do I wear?
Comfortable, outdoor clothing.
Leave the Sunday-go-to-meeting
at home. A ten-gallon hat if you
want, though it isn't necessary.
Levis or frontier pants. Shirts
with long sleeves and sweater or
jacket for cool evenings outside
after sundown. Informality is
the word.
Now, you want to know what
it'll cost you. At the Bar M. it's
S47.50 to S65 a week covering
all food and lodging, the only
difference being whether you
want a horse every day or not.
At the Lazy T, the rates range
from $65 to $85, with the same
difference.
You ask what are these places
like? They're big, comfortable
ranches, with sizeable dining
rooms, quarters to care for
from one to a half dozen or
more in a party, either in the
main lodge or in nearby cabins.
They're finished rustic style,
with knotty pine used in keep
ing with their surroundings.
They have electric lights and
plumbing and all other facilities
we regard as necessities nowa
days. In a word, Frank, It's a good
deal like one man styled it:
"It's roughing it in comfort."
So, I say, Frank, drop your
pencils and books for a bit and
head for God's country. You'll
never be sorry, if you do. And
if you do, be sure and look me
up and I'll dig out bamboo
pole to replace the one I nearly
threw away for you.
Best of everything,
PAUL.
