BY WILMA MORRISON
suit writer. The OresacUjua
If all the unoponed news
papers that collect on Northwest
dude ranches from June to Octo
ber were unrolled and placed
edge to edge they would still
go unread.
This is the considered opinion,
not only of the ranch owners
but of their customers, the con
firmed ranch vacationers who
find a unique antidote for city
tensions in a half hour's perch
on a corral fence, a goal-less
walk over country roads or a
slow horseback ride. Most of
all, they find it in the difficult-to-analyze
way in which the
dude ranch makes its guests part
of its own operation.
Chuck Oswald, operator of
the Lazy T ranch at Joseph,
says:
"Without any doubt, the
greatest pleasure the dude ranch
guest gets out of his vacation
comes from identifying himself
with the ranch and with every
trifling thing that happens while
he is there with the birth of a
colt, the new batch of kittens,
the leak in the barn roof."
Marjorie Ralston, who, with
her husband, Cliff, runs the
Circle M on the Metolius river,
makes the same point, illustrates
it with letters from guests who
go home only to write back and
ask if Sandy's lame forefoot got
well and did Dinah, the cougar
hound, produce males or
females or both. And they send
little presents, equipment for
the house or stable a cowboy
, picture, a tablecloth with the
ranch brand on it.
Indication of a nostalgia for
simple things? Or maybe it is
just a longing for time, the slow
moving ranch time that lets a
man forget his 20th century
obligation to get ahead. Accord
ing to veteran ranch operators,
the most tense, high-speed exec
utive given time and no pres

mountain stream.
Oregon, which probably has
more ideal dude ranch country
than any state in the Union, has
comparatively few such opera
tions. Maybe it is because Ore
gonians are still too close to the
historic drama and beauty of
their country to appreciate it.
Whatever the reason, there
has been a boom in local busi
ness since the war. Guest books
show patronage was predomi
nantly California and the East

ly wallowas a four-mile ride
will put you squarely in the
mountains themselves (not the
foothills). An hour's ride and
you can look into the spectacu
lar and world-famed Hell's can

gateway to fabulous fishing and
hunting the Minam country
for elk and the Imnaha for deer.
The Circle M, in the heart of
the Cascades, is on the Metolius
river near Sisters post office.
Camp Sherman. It can be
reached in about five hours
from Portland over the North
or South Santiam highways or
by way of The Dalles-California
highway to Redmond. The
Circle M, which features pack
trips into the Mt. Jefferson and
Sisters country, boasts a spec
tacular backdrop of peaks.
Red's Wallowa Horse ranch Is
on the Minam river and, thanks
to national publicity in Pic. Out
door Life and Flying magazines,
is probably most widely known.
It is not so familiar to run-of-the-mill
dudes because it can't
be reached by car. Traffic is by
plane or an eight-mile pack trip.
Red's offers sot only riding,
hiking and the latest in cabin
accommodations, but every kind
of personal camping facility
available to those who want to
be packed in to the ranch or on
one of the special trips to the
ranch.
Very close to home is the H Bar
H ranch near Wren, reached by
highway 89W south from Port
land through Corvallis and
Philomath. Biggest attraction
here is riding, although there is
fishing on the place in Mary's
fiver or southwest toward Wald
port in the Alsea. The H Bar H.
because of its location, features
short-time week-end overnight
parties, along with its longer
reservations.
The Ox Bow is at Medical
Springs, 35 miles southeast out
of La Grande, another summer
play spot which offers the beau
ties and attractions of the Wal
lowas. The Bar M is in the Blue
mountain country, some 30
miles northeast from Pendleton,
at Bingham springs. It offers, in
addition to the usual dude ranch
activities, a natural warm water
swimming tank.
The U. S. Bar at Ukiah is 50
miles nearly straight south from
Pendleton on highway 395
another ranch with the Blue
mountains as background and
