Though Mr.Gilmore has long since passed on, having died in Placerville, Calif., in the year 1898, Glen Alpine Springs is still in the ownership of his family, and its management and direction is entirely in their hands.
As in the beginning they have ever sought to preserve its character of simplicity.

It is their aim that everything should be as primitive as possible, consonant with healthfulness, privacy and comfort.

While no sanitary precautions are neglected, and water, hot and cold, is extravagantly provided, with free shower baths, there are none of the frills and furbelows that generally convert these--what should be--simple nature resorts into bad imitations of the luxurious hotels of the city.

There are positively no dress events.

Men and women are urged to bring their old clothes and wear them out here, or provide only khaki or corduroy, with short skirts, bloomers and leggings for the fair sex.
