THE TAVERN OF CASTLE CRAC

The Tavern of Castle Crag was built
the foot of Mount Shasta, and amid
the most picturesque mountain scenery
accessible to the tourist. The eligibil-
ity of the place selected was due to
rare combination of flowing water, in
spring mountain scenery and inviting
forests.
The Tavern of Castle Crag, with its
splendid environment, it was believed
would appeal chiefly to those who seek
sumemr resort for health. recreation.
outdoor sports, sympathy with nature
and informal sociability. To empha
size this intention and signify the kind
of invitation extended, the name TAV-
ERN of Castle Crag was chosen.
To avoid all implication of sumptuous
accommodations or the tyranny of So
cial Journalism, and to realize this orig
inal conception. the management has
decided to make the Tavern of Castle
Crag distinctively family resort; and
especially attractive to those to whom
health, recreation and sympathy with
nature are paramount considerations.
To this end rooms on the first and sec
ond floors of this splendid taxern with
board will be furnished at a monthly
rate of 500 a person; and rooms on the
third floor with board at a monthly
rate of $50 a person.
The accommodations OF the Tavern
are first class in every particular It's
parlors and halls are elegant and spac-
iouS. Its verandas are cool and invit-
ing, placing the guest always in the
presence of the most attractive noun
tain scenery to be enjoyed from the
balcony of any tavern in the world.
The opportunity for outdoor sports
embraces hunting, fishing riding. BIZ
cycling, walking on mountain paths
and driving on picturesque roads. TIE
Tavern is located Immediately on the
main trunk line of the California &
Oregon Railroad, and is fourteen hours
ride from San Francisco, twelve hours
from Stockton, ten hours from Sacra-
mento, thirty hours from Los Angeles
and twenty-three hours from Portland.
The Tavern of Castle Crag is reached
from San Francisco and Sacramento
without loss of time. The train leaves
San Francisco at s o'clock D. m.. arriv-
ing early the following morning for
breakfast, which is always ready upon
the arrival of the train. Returning. the
train time affords equal accommoda-
ton. Thus both in going and in com
ing the comforts of the passenger and
the economy of his time have been
studied In brief, the Tavern of Castle
Crag realizes to it's guests the perfect
ideal of that spring time in the high al
titudes of the Sierras which never be-
comes high summer, and is the COM
Portable home of pleasing recreation
and restful repose.

affairs committee of the senate, called
at the white house yesterday and had
a long interview with the president in
regard to the Cuban question. The
conference was one Of great moment.
President Mckinley informed the sen.
ators in SO many words that he would
allow the senate to determine what
the action of this country should be
with regard to Cuba. The president said
he had decided to make the foreign af-
fairs committee of the senate the vir-
tual arbiter Of the position which the
United States would assume toward the
Cuban insurgents. He purposed giving
this committee all the information,
Of whatever character, which had
been received by the state department
or the chief executive on the condi-
tions existing in Cuba and with this
full information the senate and house
could act, and he would see that the
wish of the people Of the country as
expressed in the action of their repre-.
sentatives was carried out in q manner
BETTING the dignity of the United
States. Much Of this information, the
president said, was of a nature which
might render 1t unwise to make pub.
lie, but the responsibility Of guarding
1t he would transfer to the foreign
affairs committee of the senate.
