RANCH REFLECTIONS The Brown Shasta ranch, valued at a million and a half dol

be open to tourists when the present ownor completes construction of camp sites and
a trailer court on the old race track. Texas on the property have made a commercial

name of the town changed, the
name of the railway slation even
became Mount Shasla. 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

which of two propositions should

choice of beauty sxts icmains.
One dream the masl-r of Brown
Shasta had, he never saw come
true. That was a road lo tlie sum

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.

otes, not wolves.
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.
