Mills on the Wilderness

Many of the experiences of a very
unusual life are to be found in Wait
| ing in the Wilderness" written by
Enos A. Mills, who. when boy. OF
| sixteen. left his home in Kansas and
went to a cabin on Longs Peak, Colo
RADIO. From this time his one aim was
to learn "how plant or animal came TO
be what it is and where it is" Soon
he became a nature guide to parties
visiting the Rockies, and this book is
the eleventh which he has published
descriptive of his experiences in this
capacity, as well as what he has
learned in his careful study of this
wonderland. The animals to whom he
pays the most attention are the grizzly
bears and the beavers, while a chap
ter is devoted to an account of the
ground hog, or wood chuck, in which
he dwclls especially on the part he is
supposed to play as a weather prophet
on February second. Vivid descriptions
Of adventures with the ranch men Of
that region are given, as for instance
the breaking in of n wild thoroughbred, ,
and following the concealed trail OF a
bank robber with a posse of cowboys.
Information in regard to the prehistoric
animals of this region is to be found in
his brief account of his work with n
party of scientists digging out fossils
in the canons. They told him that lat
one time thousands Of tiny horses,
hardly knee high to a man, roamed over
Oregon The oldest discovered fossil
of horse, he was informed, "belongs
to the Eocene Epoch, perhaps four
million years ago"
