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.

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.

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.

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.

TWO BIG ONES Proof that fishing is fine in Upper Klamath Lake is furnished by
these two that were hauled in by Steve Reeves, left, and Melvin Reeves, brothers,
on the west side of Klamath Lake. The larger of the two rainbow was 27 inches long,
weighing about 5'i pounds. The smaller was 23 inches and weighed about four
pounds. However, they do come much bigger. Steve, 17, a KUHS senior when he
pulled this one in May, 1962, lives at 1505 Avalon, his brother at 2205 Arthur.

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.
