It is ana af aa annual series sponsored Jointly by The Oreronlan and the Ore gon State Motor association. BY LEVER ETT RICHARDS SUM Writer, The Omoniaa I Just discovered a new coun try. It'i called Klamath Falls. Of course, there aren't any falls. But there are plenty of Klam ath. The woods are full of ttom. Lots of things you can get in Klamath Falls you can't get anywhere else including a hot foot It's the only town in the country where you can get a hotfoot with your shoes off in the middle of Esplanade street in the middle of January. Whole country's about ready to come to a bolL All you got to do is drill a well and tap the devil's hot water tank. It isn't only the streets they heat, with natural hot water, but their homes, about 400 of them, and a couple dozen busi ness buildings. But when it comes to oddi ties, don't miss the B&W (Black and White) ranch, southeast on highway 70 from Klamath Falls to Olene, thence southeast on Poe valley road. Better check with the Klamath Falls cham ber of commerce for directions. Even Blinds Are Block There's no sign on the ranch. It's a private home, but a Zoo's Who of all that's Black and White. All buildings are white as angel feathers with black roofs, black trim, even black trimmed Venetian blinds. Mel vin Felgi, the owner, drives a black and white Olds. Mrs. Trpic-!'. noodle Is black. Carolyn, 12, raises white and black rabbits and wnite jap silkv chickens. Brother Lee rides a genuine all-white (but not albino) llama, one oi the few in existence. What's even rarer, Jack the llama is as gentle as dog. He had a mate (named Jill, naturally), whn was so ornerv Felei sold her. Never been able to find another white one. .Tnrk has an almost-black emu for a mate. (An emu is an os tracized ostrich and most dlf- fimilt tn Interview). In another pen is an animal we might as well snip, xou won't believe it anyway. Called n wnllnrnn. It looks like a jet-propelled rocking chair with hair, oiacK af course. This wallaroo snorts and bounds around like a bebop fan, really gone. In a pasture adjoining the i,iim. .mfi" E Lee Felgi rides Jack, the rare white llama, on the BdtW ranch southeast of Klamath Falls. This nnosual ranch Is owned by his father, Melvln Felgi, who holds llama's bridle- house is a herd of rare white wapiti (elk to us common peo nlel nrize of the B&W. Chet Barton, founder of the ranch, who "just liked black and white," bought up the last of the white elk and saved them from extinction. Losses, and sales to other collectors de pleted the herd down to two. Feigi, wno iook over ine rnnrh unon Barton's death. bought six more from Cali fornia this winter and brought them up in co-operation with Jack Marks, superintendent of Portland s zoo. Fivp white English fallow deer, a Mouflon sheep from Italy, six albino palomino rid ing horses, and a herd of 160 Rineit Antrns cattle also roam his 475-acre ranch, behind white fences.

Guess whatl Visitors are welcome to see" this unique private zoo from the road or to enter the front gate and view the animals from the spacious front lawn, without charge. But the Felgi's work for a living. They can sel dom take time to visit There's lot to see and do out of K. Falls the Klamath lake bird refuge, road house and nursery for millions of ducks and geese; the Tule lake wild life refuge, the Lava Beds na tional monment, and others. Best way to sample them all and get the flavor of this seat of ancient Indian and prehis toric Indian culture is to check the brand new Klamath county museum run by Dr. Claude E. Schaeffer. There's nothing dead about this showplaee except the stuffed pelican in the showcase; Then don't miss the Modocs. They're still there, in spirit, if not in fact lurking behind the devil's own fortress in the lava beds south of Klamath Falls, where they fought and whipped the United States army of 1872 with all its pomp and power. Some of the nicest people you meet here around Klam ath Falls are pelicans a B-29 with a beak that can hold more than its bellycan. These birds own Klamath lake, which just happens to be the biggest body of water in the west 40 miles long and 8 miles wide. Collier state park logging museum, 33 miles north of K.
