The following description Of the
Shoshone falls we copy from western
paper:
The ShoshOne falls are situated
about seven miles from Desert station,
on the stage road from Salt Lake City
to Boise City. The river for many
miles, both above and below, posses
through q volcanic valley. It has cut
a perpendicular canon through the
layers Of lava to the depth Of about
1000 feet. Tho canon is generally
about half mile wide. At the pOinS
where the falls arc located, It Is nearly
q mile wide. Viewed from below it
appears circular, like a vast ampithea-
tre, with the falls in the center. The
different layers Of lava resemble seats
in tiers ranged one above another to q
height Of 200 feet above the head OF
the falls. In the narTOwest part the
water is 200 or 800 yards wide. About
400 yards above the main falls are five
Islands, at nearly equal interval across
the river, dividing the stream into six
parts. AS the water passes between
the islands it is precipitated . or 80
feet. Below the island the water
unites and passes in an unbrOken sheet
over the great fall; the descent is near
30 feet. The semiacircle ut the head
Of the falls is apparently perfect, and
the leap as clear as that Of Niagara.
Enormous clouds Of mist and spray
arise, variegated with rainbOWs. At
the foot are rushing showers Of spray.
from under which the water, beaten
into foam, dashes furiOusly away. Oe-
casiOnally can be seen, through the
flying mists, the immense sheet Of wa
ter standing out i'm bold relief from the
rocks, showing that with proper ap-
pliances it is practicable to 90 behind,
as at Niagara. A few hundred yards
further down, the water swings slow
ly around in q huge whirlpool, and
then disappears in the black canon be-
low The delicate prismatic eOiors OF
the rainbow and the graceful eyanec-
ent forms Of the mist contrast strange
IL with the irOn-black surface, hard
outlines, and awful forms Of the over
hanging basalt. The sound Of the
rushing waters resembles that Of an
orchestra, the small falls giving the
high notes and the great falls the bass,
producing a combination not possible
to obtain from a single cataract. At
Rock creek station, % miles distant,
il can be heard distinctly-DOt eOntin-
uously, but at intervals, like the surf.
When the notes strike in unison they
can be heard at q great distance. In
the winter this mist rises like the
smoke from a vOicanOe. A few dimin-
utiTe pines grow among the rocky de-
clivities of the canon. The plain pro-
duces only sage brush. The hostility
Of the Indians renders a visit
to this interesting region somewhat
hazardous, unless with a party Of six
or eight men, well armed and on the
alert.

Why Not Advertise in Dull Times.

Since the very nature of an advertisement
Is to secure more business and greater re-
turns, it would seem as the above questi,
was practically unnecessary, yet our expe-
rience thus far proves the opposite. There
is large class of advert isers who, when
dull times approach, instead of exercising
the usual sagacity exhibited at other sea-
sons, tie sn additional knot in their purse
strings, withdraw their names from before
the public, and then sit down to lament
going on" We have often endeavored to
expose the fallacy of such a course, and
point out its ruinous consequences, yet
neither tbs example of the wise and prudent
who heed not dull times and consequently
are not afflicted with them like others. nor
their own i'll success, has as yet convinced
them of their error.
It may be laid down as an indisputsble
fact, that in good times it is necessary to
advertise to secure business, in dull times,
it is all the more SO. And why? Simply
because the fact of advertising at all is proof
conclusive that such course will and does
bring business hence the more one pa
tronizss the press the greater will be his
revenue, and the more certain his success.
Many men are dependent entirely upon adj
vertisiDg for success. Suppose they were
to refuse to advsatise at all !? "Dull times"
would be the inevitable result, and no one
would wonder at their failure.
Of course some seasons of the year are
better adapted to particular classes of adj
Verlising than others. yet the general adj
vertiser can never afford to withdraw him
self from the public, even for Jingle day
and the judicious one never will. Persisten-
cy ard energy are always requisite. and
their fruits can be gathered By no other in
oentives, much less by inactiou and lamen-
tation. II. then, you find that business is
dull or profits are growing beautifully less,
instead of thrusting all the blame upon the
poor public. look closely to see if il is not
rather in your own self, and if convinced of
this. act as you would at any other time
aud obviate the cause by advertising. Es-
change.

NE. DELANo,s REPoRT.

The report of the Commissioners OF
Internal Revenue has found its way in
to the newspapers in advance of it's
transmission to Congress. The free
dom with which many of the Bureau
reports through the country, and have
given correspondents access to them
in advance, is in marked contrast with
the reticence of the President, whose
message has been obtained only by a
heavy expenditure to the Telegraph
Companies.
The total amount of Internal Reve-
nue. receipts for the last fiscal year was
SI60, ,O39, ,344 %. There was a gain dur
ing the first SIX months of 81, ,1S6, 1888
compared with the same period of the
previous year, and of $26, ,062, ,S12, or 40
per cent, over the last six months of
the year. These gains were chiefly on
spirits, tobacco, sales and incomes. On
legacies, SUGGESTIONS and penalties
there was a loss of $500, ,732. The re-
ceipts of the current year are estimat-
ed at S175, 900, 600. So far from recon-
mending an increase of the whisky
tax, as we have been told he would do,
Mr.. DelanO says: referring to the
gains on spirits and tobacco for these
periods, it seems proper to say that
there is every cause for congratulation
that the law of July 20, 1868, taxing
these articles, was enacted" The fol-
lowing statement shows the amounts
received from the principal sources of
Internal Revenue during the last two
years:
