One of the favorite summer resorts of the northwest is situated on
the line of the Northern Pacific, sixty-one miles east of Tacoma,
in the Cascade mountains. This is the celebrated Green River Hot
Springs, five in number, with a temperature varying from 118° to 122°
Fahrenheit, which were discovered four years ago. A comfortable hotel,
with accommodations for a large number of people, and ten cottages
have already been erected. Green river is the most beautiful mountain
stream in the west, and teems with trout and salmon. It derives its
name from the green hue of its clear, transparent waters, brilliant
in the sunlight and dark green in the shade. The mountains are full
of deer, bear, mountain sheep, grouse and other game. No shooting is
permitted within two hundred and fifty yards of the hotel, but the
hunter and angler has not far to go to find employment for his rod
and gun. Tourists will find this place the most delightful for a few
days’ rest in the whole extent of their journey through the west. This
has been recognized by hundreds, who have availed themselves of the
opportunity to enjoy the pleasure and sport here afforded. Invalids,
especially, find in the medicinal qualities of the water, the pure,
bracing atmosphere of the mountains, the wholesome food, and the sense
of rest and freedom from care, just the conditions necessary for their
restoration to health. The waters are a specific for rheumatism,
catarrh, kidney troubles, skin and blood diseases, etc., and their
virtue is attested by hundreds who have been benefited by them. A post
office and telegraph station have been established at the hotel, and
the sojourner there need not feel that he is completely isolated from
the world, while daily trains pass the hotel to carry him away in case
of urgent need. Persons desirous of securing accommodations in advance
of arrival should address, by mail or telegraph, I. G. McCain & Co.,
