NEW WESTERN PACIFIC INN
Ii FEATHER RIVER CANON

Long has the Feather River country,
the sportsman s elysium, been famous
as one of the most magnificent of ma
ture's Fairgrounds. The only mode Of
ingress, however, was by pack train
journey occupying the greater part of
week. As a result, none but the most
vonturesome braved the trip. Today,
what with automobile roads and the
advent of the Western Pacific railway,
it has become one of the most popular
vacation spots in California or the
! West
What wonderland it isl There is no
demand of the summer seeker that it
does not satisfy. Myriad miniature
oceans surrounded by arrogant ridges
Iplumed in lofty pines, are scattered
with a prodigal hand over the top of
the world. Rock -thwarted streams rage
and roar over deep-hued cliffs, or where
the earth spirit is milder, silent shall
lows are pooled within dreamy dells,
where spread out dewy pastures,
clothed in radiant garments of many
hued blossoms.
This year, more than ever before,
has the tired city dweller an opportu-
nifty to visit the Feather River re-
gion and view its wondrous beauty. At
a cost of $3.50, 900 there has been erect
ed in a grove on the edge of the Mo-
hawk valley, with Feather river sweep
ing along just below it, beautiful
Feather River Inn, which is easily to
be one of California IS foremost resorts.

ar outing really attractive. The Inn is

phere with an np-to-dateness that will

at each.-San Francisco Chronicle.
