next one, Mr. cmene. '
The words were addresfted.
above the rhythmic chattering of
the fishing boat's inboard motor, to
Walter S. Chiene, district manager
of the Peoples Water & Gas com
pany of Marshfleld. i
It was Mr. Chlene's turn to
catch the next fish, because Shel
don Sackett, publisher of the Coos
Bay Times, had just brought to
net a fair-sized cutthroat trout.
The speaker was Fred Lewis, vet
eran guide at Currier's villasre on
Ten-Mile lake. Sackett, Chiene and
the writer were busily engaged in
towing big, fat night crawlers
through the slightly clouded waters
of Ten-Mile, under the experienced
supervision of Mr. Lewis. i
Chiene said something about his
willingness to catch a fish "any
time now," ana sackett mentioned
that he was going after a big one,!
now that he had tasted first blood
To this conversation I contrib
uted nothing, it being my purpose
to learn all I could about the fish-!
Ing in Ten-Mile and in the dozen or
more neighboring lakes fringing
the Oregon Coast highway in Coos,
Douglas and Lane counties.
"Strike!" Chiene signaled to us
as he "set" his hook and a fight
ing cutthroat broke water far
t. ..astern of the boat.
""X. Chiene Gets Trout
A brlefsfurlous splashing of
white water as the trout came to
the surface a half dozen feet astern f
and saw the forbidding boat,
Chlene's determined and successful
effort to bring him alongside and a
casual but efficient sliding of the
net under the fighting fish by
Lewis, marked the end of the gal
lant cutthroat. Lewis tapped the
fish gently on the head and his
glistening, silvery body lay quietly
alongside those of his mates which
had preceded him in their migra
tion from lake to frying pan.
The sun was dropping toward the
green-crested ridges of the hills
that fringe the lake and we decided
to put away the trolling rods and
try the fly rods for a time.
Lewis drove the boat into a shel
tered cove and cut off the motor as
we strung up the fly rods, affixing
leaders and wet flies. The season
was a bit too early for dry flies,
the guide said. Then, with no motor
to disturb conversation, I began to
ask questions about Ten-Mile.
Two lakes make up Ten-Mile,
the north lake and south lake, con
nected by a canal. To traverse their
shore lines would require a Journey
of 170 miles. Currier's village, at
the pos toff ice of Lakeside, is on
the south lake, less than a mile east
of the Oregon Coast highway.
! Has Ocean Connection .
! From the village Ten-Mile creek
winds through the forests and sand
dunes three miles to the Pacific
ocean, making an outlet for the
lakes and an inlet for sea-run fish.
Many of these Oregon coast lakes
have such outlets assuring them of
a steady supply of fish from the
Pacific '
From the Pacific into Ten-Mile
come cutthroat trout, steelhead
trout and silvers! de salmon in
proper season. Native to the lake
are its catfisn, Its eastern DrooK,
blueback and native lake trout
Also come, at odd times, huge stur
geon, nosing their way up Ten
Mile creek and into the lake from
salt water.
Ten-Mile and laws are similar
for other coast lakes is open to
fishing for trout over ten Inches in
length all year round. There is no
closed season on its camsn.
Roy G. Currier, owner of the re
sort offered to show me the en
tire lake and his $100,000 home oc
cupying a scenic, terraced promon
tory four miles above the village
We made the run to the "ranch," as
he calls the beautiful estate, in ap
proximately five minutes in a pow
erful roeedboat. Mr. Currier told
me hundreds of lake visitors make
this trip In the summer months to
view the estate and Inspect his ex-

Back at the village again, I
loaded fishing tackle into the mo

bye, with promises to come back
and do some bigger and better fish

of the remaining coast lakes.
A short distance north of Ten-'

greets the traveler, but this lake
is not for the fisherman. It is,

There's a lot more in this picture than meets the
eye, though the eye has plenty to sparkle about
in the stunning style ol this spirited Buick car.
What you don't see here is the lift that's yours when
you touch off the flashing power of Buick's valve-in-head
straight-eight engine and go streaming off
across the map.
What you don't see is the solid, steady feel of
Buick the firm stability that holds you on the
line without weave or sway or wander on straight
aways or on the curves.
What you don't see is th assurance you'll know
once you step on Buick's tiptoe brakes and sec how
aurely and safely they make you master of its power.
We can't picture here the security that's yours in
a body of stccl-fuscd-to-stecl with floor, roof, sido
panels, cowl all welded into one stout unit of pro
tective metal,
And only time can tell you how big is your money'
worth in Buick all steel and two yards wide, a
big package that's your one best bet of the field when
you add the superb action that gives its metals life.
All we can do is show you how a Buick looks-
and handsome as this gallant traveler is, remind
you that its good looks are literally the least of
what it has to offer.
There's still fime to make this a summer long to be
happily remembered - if you'll go try a Buick now.
