POPULAR SUMMER RESORT

POPULAR SUMMER RESORT.
This is the fourth year of the exist
ence of Iron Springs as Il summer reSOI;
and it may safely be said that it is
growing in popularity every year. 1t
may be called Little Phoenix, for none
! hut Phoenix people resort there with
the exception of Il few southsiders. 1t
| is q great convenience to business men
for they can establish their families
there for the summer and have an OPP
rortunity to visit them once ii week.
| The people Wh0 are stopping there for
! the summer say that they have as good
a time as they would have on coast
and enjoy it much better. All the peo-
pie residing here are acquainted with
each other and there is Il constant eX-
change of social gatherings.
The climate at the springs is all that
could be desired. 1t is cool enough so
that person is not constantly remind
ed of the readings CT the thermometer.
The smell from the pines is fragrant
and there is always a gentle breeze
blowing. and person is hard to please
who finds either the climate too severe
or society dull.
Several new cottages nave been con-
y
course of construction. The place al
ready resembles d city of Importance.
The Iron Springs Outing club have fur
nished everything that is necessary to
make life here a continual round or en-
joyment.
Dances are given Tuesdays, Thurs
days and Saturdays of each week in
the large pavilion, but the younger peo-
ple manage tC have an informal dance
every evening.
The club rooms furnish. reading mat
ter and the club has made the welcome
addition of a ping pong table, which
is well patronized.
Hardly an evening passes but that
some resident OF the place does not
give a party.
Living is as Cheap in the springs as
it is in the city. Moreover it Keeps
thousands of dollars in the territory
which otherwise would so tC Los An
seles or other summer resorts.
The first cost of becoming a member
of the club is the payment of $25, fol-
lowed each succeeding year by pay
ment OF so. This money is expended
on the general Improvement of the
place. The entrance money entities Il
person to choose Il lot and he ma y
build a cottage thereon. 1t only costs
Il little over a hundred dollars to buil,!
a sInall-sized cottage capable of ac-
cClnmcdating q family of several per-
sons.
There is d store in the springs presid-
cd over by Ben Doris and which Is
owned by J. w. Doris. Everything
that the residents of the springs can de-
sire can be had at the store.
The greatest drawback Is the poor
postal facilities. No postmaster has
been appointed fer the springs and The
mail from Phoenix is left at Kirkland
= TO be taken later in the day to The
springs by the northbound freight.

vicinity who ar" stopping at the spring.
