THE SUMMIT SODA SPRINGS.
LIFE AT THE HIGHEST OF ALL
THE RESORTS.
A Veritab1e Summer Paradise IN
the Very Heart Of the Sierra
Nevada.

Union," writing from the Summit Soda
Springs, says:
This delightful resort, in the very
heart of the Sierra Nevadas, is again
the scene Of large gathering Of health
and pleasure seekers from the cities
and valleys who have come here to es-
cape the heat of summer, drink the
health giving mineral waters and by
rational recreation counteract the ef-
fects of a long season of close appli-
cation to business or the demands of
society.
THE weather here is simply per-
feet, and the guests are enjoying life
as it can only be enjoyed in a delight
full retreat like the Summit Soda
Springs, at an elevation of many thou
sand feet above the valley.
I'm no former year have the arrange
nlents for the accommodation and COM
fort of guests been better than they
are this season, and somehow the peo-
pie that come to this Alpine paradise
seem to get along better with one an
other than is usually the case at sum-
mer resorts. A sort of fellow-feeling
seems to animate all the guests. EV-
cry one enjoys himself individually,
and all enjoy themselves together.
THE fishing is excellent, and many
we'll filled creelS are brought in daily
by the devotees of the rod. Every day
parties are formed to go fishing down
the picturesque stream that dasheS ana
splashes past the hotel and through the
pine-covered mountains to the gorge,
some miles below, where the biggest
and sauciest Of the trout are found
Other parties go mountain climbing,
and old bald-headed 'Tinker's Knob is
frequently visited.
"These daily outings, with lunches in
the woods, and never care about buSl-
ness or other sordid considerations, are
better than poppy or mandragora or
all the drowsy syrups Of this world to
bring health and buoyancy of spirit to
those whose energies have become i'm
paired in the long chase after the nim-
BILE and elusive dollar. There is none
of that tired feeling here.
Then there are all sorts of outdoor
pastimes for those who are not able
to climb mountains or go a-fishing, so
that never a day nor an hour drags.
Many of the guests drive back and
forth between the springs and the
Summit Hotel, twelve miles distant,
and others still engage saddle horses
and explore the regions for miles about.
