. Shoshone, and other western wonders. and the wild noise of the falling river fas-cinated and exhilarated. You should see theriver gather itself together for its leap into thelower depths of the canon; should listen tothe roar it makes: should feel the earth tremblewith the shock; should watch the rising mists, ghost-like in the moonlight; should give daysto the isolated place, to know the fascinationsof Shoshone Falls. Telling one how high theFalls are, how deep the canon is, gives no ideaof the place itself, of its coloring, and of itsweirdness. The canon is a world by itself, fullof novelties and strange sights.

To meet the demands of the constantly in-creasing number of tourists visiting Shoshone, a rough wagon trail has been constructed downthe north wall of the canon to the level of theriver. The path is long and steep, and com-mands an extended view of the upper canon.At the river-side is
