AS to the moving mountain, that is no
figure of speech. One of the spurs of the
Cascade range is moving, at snail pace,
it is true, yet not so slowly but that there
are many evidences to mark its progress.
1t is an irregu ar, low, fir-clad spur from
the main range, about mile west of the
great canal III course of construction at
Cascade locks on the Columbia river. It
lies little east or up the river from where
the backbone of the Cascades is severed
| by the mighty stream, and debouches on
the river in series of terrace-like steps
ending at the waters edge in an almost
perpendicular escarpment.
On each side of the face of the cliff the
ascent to the mountains south is more
gradual. almost valley like. 1t is this
whole region, with more than a mile of
frontage and unknown depth south, that

INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS.
Commissioner Miller on the Past and
Coming Year.

Washington. Nov. 2i.-The report of Jo-
seph 8 Miller Of West Virginia. commIs-
stoner Of internal revenue. made public
to-day, states that the receipts for the
fiscal year had fallen below his esu-
mates $27,753.000. This he attributes to
the decision of the supreme court declar-
ing the income tax unconstitutional after
only $1,000 had been collected. His esu-
mate for the year was $lU. 100000. The
actual receipts were sli32i6.000.
In regard TO next year. the commissioner
says After careful comparison OF the
receipts from all sources OF internal reve-
nue. for the months OF July. August ana
September, 1885, with the collections for
the same months in the previous fscai
years, and giving due weight TO the im-
proved business conditions manifested
throughout The country In the peculiar
lines touched 10y internal taxation, I esll-
mate mat the receipts from an sources or
internal revenue for the current fiscal
year viii aggregate Sl65,000 coo.
Ihe receipts Tor the 'urst three months
OF the present fiscal year show a decrease
Of &l,&20oo in the taxes collected on dis
titled spirits as compared with the cor
responding months of last year. when
there was rush to take spirits out of
bond IN order To- escape the oNpected in
crease Of duty under the new tariff law.
There has been an increase of St60,6l0 in
the revenue from tobacco and cigars: an

Of $4,000 from oieomargarine and de-
crease Of $4,000 from miscellaneous
sources
The preliminary work OF attempting to
enforce the Income tax law cost the gov
ernment $1,000, as against $1,000 income
tax collected and now In process OF be-
ing refunded. The commissioner closes
his report by recommending a number Of
amendments 20 existing laws, and the re-
peal Of the free alcohol in the arts pro-
vision of the late tariff law
Among the amendments recommended
is this. Amend section 1855 so as TO al
low the use of fruits other than apples,
peaches and grapes FOR distllation,"
This is desired Ia order To afford brandy
distillers the privilege Of distillng pears,
prunes, apricOts, oranges ana other fruits
1T for making brandy when they desire
to do so. Great complaint reached this
Office during last season, when the early
frost destroyed the orange crop in the
state of Florida, and Il was made clear
that II the people had had this privilege
of distilling this fruit, they would have
realized a considerable amount upon the
crop. which was rendered entirely useless
for any other purpose. There seems to be
no good reason why the law should not
be modified so as to meet this most rea-
sOnable demand.
