The Sodayille Mineral SPRINGS.

seek a quiet and healthful retreat for
few weeks outing.
The SodaYille Mineral Springs.
were discovered by Reuben Coyle in-
the summer of 1s4S while riding oil
the range for cattle. Becoming thirsty
he alighted at spring that showed
itself above the ground End where
stock, for many miles around had
been coming for water, as was after
ward ascertained. When Mr.. Coyle
first drank of the water, lie thought
himself poisoned, as the water tasted
very qlrer.'' but j ,clarei it tt be a
very wholesome beverage. The des-
cription of the "eurious spring" dis
covered by Mr.. Coyle, at once, created
universal interest, and many people
fioeked to the new TABLED fountain of
immortal youth" only to find that his
words were true. He had discovered,
instead of ia poison spring. a water
that has since proven itself to lie the
best on the Pacific slope for health
giving properties.
Bnt little was done for many years,
in the way of permanent Improvement
but suffice to say that now, it finds
itself IN the center of a block wholly
dedicated to its purpose, which is
located exactly in the center of the
town of Sodaville. The block has
been improved at AN expense of several
hundred dollars. The spring is now
under roof, in a well and solidly
built cemented brick tank, surround
ed by a brick wall and well supplied
There are many fir and maple trees in
the park which furnish beautiful
shades for the thousands of health aud
recreation seekers whe are daily arriv-
ing at these springs. Provisions can
be had cheap here and fine camping
grounds are always open to the public,
free of charge, as is also the water.
The Water
is a clear, cold, sparkling fluid strong
and extremely pleasant to the taste,
and the same story is told by all who
drink of it, that ''you cannot drink
enough to hurt you" The benefit,
especially derived by the use of this
water is the absolute cure of stomach
and kidney tropbles. 1t is indeed
Natures own remedy. The citizens
of Sodaville are mainly made up of
people who once came here with badly
stomach or kidneys, and
who, having been completely restored,
will not now leave the springs. People
from nearly every state III the union,
can testify to the superiority OF the
water, while all the Pacific states
furnish hundred of visitors to these
wonderful springs.
A volume might be written in des-
cribing this water, but want of space
we would say, if you ire afflicted with
kidney, stomach or liver troubles, let
us cordially invite you to come and
see for your self, and you will add one
to the thousands of living witnesses
that are now ready with their hearty
testimony in its favor.
Hardman's Hotel
In 1890, Mr.. w. r. Hardman built a
fine large hotel for the accommodation
of the public, which furnishes a pleas
ant home for fifty guests. This build
ing is large, neat, new. and commo-
dious, and Mr.. and Mrs. Hardman
make AL, whose good luck it is to stop
with them, to feel at home. This hotel
was built and furnished at a cost of
$1,000 1t was built because the numer
ous people, who throng here, imper-
atively demanded it. Being situated
near the spring, 1t is very convenient
for those whose health does not permit
them to walk far to visit the springs
as often as is desired. The distance is
about ninety yards. Mr.. Hardman
will in the near future put in some
baths for mineral water bathing. The
