Stan Mahoney who's ranching out at Gusher entertained royally roy-ally with a couple of. back-breaking back-breaking fishing trips into the lakes country north of Roosevelt, Roose-velt, and aside from coming un-glued un-glued in a couple of joints, I can report it was great fun . . . and plenty of fish, too. v AJso we were entertained at Roosevelt by Mr. and Mrs. Dave Huish and their daughter, Helen, who have the drug store there. The Huish's, a grand family, have been out in the basin for 25 years and have seen it grow from a frontier outpost to a thriving ranching and industrial indus-trial center, now on the threshold thres-hold of a first-rate boom. |
