UP) Montana cowboys and other western ranchers havo found It paid them well to turn business men so that buuineaa men might play at being cowboys and westerners. An Montana's dude ranchers re turned Irom their recent annual con vention at the Dude Ranchers' Asso ciation at Cody, Wyo., they declared that 1934 was the second best year In the nine-year history of the or ganization. 1929 Peak Year Only 1929, the peak of the boom era, surpassed this season. In that year, 10.035 dudes registered at as sociation ranches. Dude ranching, of humble origin, has become one of the west's largest "big buslness?s." The total value of land, buildings and equipment of the association's members Is valued at around $5.000,000 and that only In cludes 65 ranches out of the more than 300 scattered through the west. Association members are for the most part from Montana and Wyom ing. They operate in better known "dude" regions such as the Big Horn.

The Industry began In 1882 when Bert Rumsey of Buffalo, N. Y., paid a few dollars for board and room following a vacation on the Eaton Brothers' ranch at Medora, N. D. Ten years later the Eatons began to cater exclusively to dudes, pioneering the Industry which now has more than 350 ranches, capable of handling from 10 to 100 guests.
