caption_attribution_description: English: The label from a bottle of water from the soda springs at Wilhoit Springs Resort (1882-1928). For some time, resort owner Frank McLeran marketed the water in bottles bearing this label in Molalla and in Portland.
context_page_description: Wilhoit Springs is a county park located in Clackamas County, Oregon, deep in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, roughly 8 miles southeast of Molalla. Around the turn of the 20th century, the spa and resort there was one of Clackamas County's most popular tourist destinations. However, in the first few decades of the 20th century the facility lost popularity and, in 1928, closed down.
context_section_description: Wilhoit Springs boasts two different springs; a soda spring, located in the foundation of the old bathhouse, and a mineral spring. In the soda spring, the water bubbles out of the ground very cold and powerfully charged with carbon dioxide; at the mineral spring, it is heavier, less effervescent and seems noticeably thickened by its mineral load.
caption: For many years, Wilhoit Springs Resort marketed its water in bottles bearing this label in local markets and as far away as Portland.
