Among the many places Of resort for the
summer season in California mention
should not be omitted Of the White Sui

are located three miles east Of Santa Rosa,
the county seat of Sonoma county, which
is reached by rail from San Francisco in
about three hours travel, over region that
is Hossoming as the rose. Santa Rosa
itself is one of the most prosperous and
beautiful towns OF the State, and the con-
tiguity of the springs 10 the place makes
this resort especially favorable to business
men and the public generally. There are
at the springs hot water baths, cold shower
baths and tub bathing, q good hotel well
kept, saddle horses to command, delightful
drives and hunting and fishing at will. In
