Boat Ramps Planned For Area Klamath Basin residents will be able to take advantage of their outdoor resources with greater fa cility upon the completion of two new boat ramps on Klamath Lake and a one-acre parking area on the Lost River near Horseshoe Dam. A joint Oregon Game Commis- sion and Korcst Service boat launch ramp project was started south of the Rocky Point Resort in 1982. Another public access ramp was started as a joint game com' mission and Klamath County proj ect north of the Geary Ranch on the Lake of the Woods road. The engineering work on these proj ects was completed and con tracts will be let in the near fu ture, said Art Gerlach, fish biolo gist. Gerlach, the area state field biol ogist, recommended the projects to give area residents greater ac cess to the Klamath Lake. ' The parking area on Lost River will be located about l'i miles (rom Olene and the estimated dale of completion is June, 1963. The boat ramp at Barclay Springs will be completed by the county this spring giving added in terest to the seven-acre county park at this site on U.S. 97. Another slate access site is con femplated for the Wood River. Gerlach said. The state already owns the site and will probably develop it as a parking area and launching ramp for Wood River trout fishermen.

Herbert Stone, regional for ester. U.S. Forest Service. This is an increase of 157 per cent since 1950. Skiing is the most popular ac tivity among w inter sports enthusi asts; it accounted for 95 per cent of the public use of winter sports areas in 1962- There are 29 national forest ski areas in the Pacific Northwest Kai h has been developed by a private company, local ski club, or civic group.

Win ter aocess to the areas is provid ed by the area operator or by county or state govern ment. The forest service locates and mainlains an inventory of poten tial winter sports areas as part of its recreation planning. Recent ski area developments in the region include Crystal Mountain, located east of Mt. Rai nier of the Snoqualmie National Forest. The operator. Crystal Mountain Company, has construct ed two tandem flounie-cnair mi that prnile a total of 2.410 feet of vertical elevation over a widely diversified terrain. A Thar and seven rope tows also serve this area. At the lower end of the tows is a central warming shelter. Advertisements have been pub lished for development of Mt.

Sunday, February 2, 1963 PAGE 5 E Crippled Ducks, Geese Get Portland Zoo Attention Thirty-three crippled ducks and geese, casualties of the hunting season, were recently transported from the Tule Lake National Wild life Refuge to the Portland Zoo ov Jack Marks, director of the zoo. Marks has a veterinarian on the staff who is an expert at splitting broken legs and w ings and reha bilitating the feathered veterans of the waterfowl hunting season. Alter receiving veterinary care. the birds are banded and placed an open display pool. When their broken bones are mended and they have regained their strength and powers of flight, they are free to return to the wild with all its hazards. One wonders how many of the wounded choose to remain at the zoo to take ad vantage of the free food and lodg ing and watch the parade of visi tors. This annual "operation salvage" is, conducted by the Tule Lake Na tional Wildlife Refuge staff in co operating with the Portland Zoo. I Most of the wounded biids w ere 'picked up by refuge crews using !air thrust boats to search lor them. Ice skaters also rescued a number of "crips" aim turned them over to the refuge. Waterfowl sent to the zoo this year included five Canadian geese. (our cackling geese, five white fronted geese, two lesser snow geese, ten mallards, five pintails, three haldpates, and one lesser scaup. According to recently tahulated hunting records for tiie Klamath Basin, some seven p.-r cent more hunters used the Tub Lake-Lower Klamath National Wildlife Ref uges ' shooting areas than last year. Success was slightly lower with 211.002 nimrods bagging an average of 1.6 ducks and geese per man. During the survey a total of 8,476 hunters were contacted and checked by U S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife men. A whopping 34.917 hours were spent by hunters who bagged more than 10.000 waterfowl. In addition, hunters were sample-checked for siecial inlormation. Data obtained disclosed that twenty-eight per cent traveled an average of 700 miles from Los Angeles County; five per cent traveled 800 miles from San Diego County and six per cent traveled some 400 miles from San Francisco and Contra Costa counties. About twenty-three per cent of the hunters came from Siskiyou County while six pel cent were from Modoc County. Of Californ ia's fifty-eight counties a total of thirty one counties were repre sented in the tally in addition to seven other states and two for eign countries. Progress Edition SITE rOK BOAT RAMP A sign marks the sits of one of two new boat ramps which I will provide boatmen and fishermen an access to Klamath Lake when completed la ter this year. The public boat landing on Wocus Bay (or Howard's Bay) will be con structed north of the Geary Ranch, on the Lake of the Woods Highway. The other ramp has been laid at Hagelstein Park (formerly Barclay Springs) and will be sur faced with concrete sometime next spring. The two boat ramps, and another near Moore Park, will provide boat launching sites at the east. west, and south ends of : the lake. Mrjv jvr BAG OF GEESE A hunter's dream is to come home with a bag of geese like this. This group was bagged on the Horton Ranch in Langell Valley. 1 v:.. tc life ' LHn.

Cometh to Crow MIKE BECK BBeck's IBakeay Serving the Klamath Basin Since 1932! Mike Beck, one of Klamath's pioneer business men, started in Klomath Falls in 1932 when he purchased the old Falls Bakery. He saw a good opportunity at that time and he still thinks this is a good city to do business in.. Starting with one truck, by 1940 the firm had 8; at this time the property on So. 6th was purchased and the new plant built, with Glenn Jones as manager. He was succeeded by Fred Beck until tie latter went into the service in '41 ' and returned here from the Boise plant until Fred got out of the service. The local plant burned in 1940 and was only partially rebuilt with most of the bread being shipped from the! Medford plant. Lynn and Val Robertson have handled distribution here since 1953. On November 12, 1962, Mr. Beck celebrated his Golden Anniversary in the bakery business. During that time he has owned and operated bakeries In Ore gon, California and Washington but at present he concerns himself only with Klamath Falls, Medford and Boise. And Now - Something NEW!
