RANCH REFLECTIONS The Brown Shasta ranch, valued at a million and a half dol lars, is known throughout the area for its scenic beauty.

The Brown influence then reached out to Washington, and the post office became Mount Shasta. Formerly all three were Sisson. With this beginning. Brown raised race horses that carried the colors of the Brown Shasla Ranch on all leading tracks in America, and every one of them was named Shasla. Shasta Bullet became one of the famed running horses in America when as a two-year-old he won top honors in his age group. Just who was this man who gave the name Shasta such adver tising? That is still somewhat of a mys tery. He was born in Iowa and had punched cattle In Montana, but how he came to have so much prestige and money is the mys tery. One version is that he once cornered the whiskey market of Cuba to become a multi-million aire. Another is that he made his money racing horses. The latter appears reasonable He is known to have built a race track in Havana and one in Flor ida. He also built Arlington race track in Chicago. But by whatever means Brown had corralled mon ey before he came to Mount Shas ta, his Brown Shasta Ranch was a fabulous showplace. Now, more than 30 years since his death, the Brown Shasta Ranch is still a beautiful spot. Millionaire Brown soon made his position toward Ihe town he adopted clear to all. When a pro posal (or spending 53.000 came up, Ihe citizens were divided on which of two propositions should get the money. H. D. Brown set tled that as he thought both car ried merit.

The road does not run lo the summit yet and probably never w ill, b.it it is near enough to the top that it would probabiy satisfy that perfectionist. y " " 1 k 1 1 J Attractive Home Utilizes Every Inch Of Space This attractive brick veneer I hit of space is utilized to fullest ranch home is onlv 23 leet wide and most convenient extent no and a space miser to boot!

Near Lake Como the trail de scended, but approximately one quarter mile beyond the lake it ascended abruptly to a ridge overlooking the wilderness fast ness on one side and Harriette Lake on the other. We continued along the trail to Harriette, where McGhehey replaced a splintered trail mark er with a new one noting the dis tances lo three other pointa in the wilderness area. Soon after, we established camp between Leho and Har riette lakes and later enticed a mess of eastern brook trout into our creels with dry flies of a black pattern. The spectacular scenery of the wilderness trail confronts the traveler after he ascends a sleep slope to a ridge cast of Harnelle Lake. On Ihe spine of the ridge is a panorama of steep, densely forested slopes, broken by Mystic Lake in Ihe foreground and South Pass and Klamath lakes shim mering through a blue haze in the background. Ml. Harirman frames the expanse from the left and the plateau of Aspen Butte is on the right. The butte is one mile from the ridge by a forest service maintained trail. The main trail then descends and meanders from south to east along a sparsely timbered ridge overlooking Harrietle Lake. Later, the trail turned abruptly and we left Harriette behind us ami moved on to Clover Lake, about one mile west. We let the horses graze on the sparsely growing grasses at the north end of tlie lake and then pushed on to another high ridge at Ihe western boundary of the wilderness. Meanwhile, a chunkv spike buck bolted from a clearing into the brush the first deer we observed during the two days in the wilderness. At Ihe ridge, slides of slag spilled downward Irom sleep slopes; far to the west Lake of the Woods was in the form of a steel blue ribbon as Mt. Mc- Loughlin towered high above it. Nearly a half mile farther norlh the trail turned from the western to the eastern slope of the ridge and we started down a steep slide of shale. If there were a time duriiij the trip when one would trust his life and limb to the sure footedness of a horse, this was it. Void ot vegetation, tlie slope falls away sharply to the base ol Ihe hill several hundred feet be low. A mis-tep would send horse and rider bouncing along jagged rocks to tlie brushy bottom of the slope. The trail completes its circuit about a mile farther east, near Eb and Zeb iakes ifi.soni, twin bkes on cither side of the trail. The area was set aside as the Mountain Lakes Wild Area by the Department of Agriculture. July 10, 10-10. The act creating the dedicated township was signed by C. M.
