small park. Here we came upon one
of the most beautiful sights I have
ever seen-a band Of over 100 wild
horses. Every one was a magnificent
animal, with sleek coat and head
held high. They were of every color
from jet black to purest white-with
many pintos in the herd.
These horses were as wild as any
animals I have ever seen. Glimpsing
us at a good distance away, they be-
continued to advance, they snorted
shrilly and darted away down the can

seemed only mountain sheep could GO

On the way back to our camp we
came upon another strange sight. Along
a narrow strip of sandy bank, where
there were no trees, we saw a thick
clump of bushes about two feet high.
All were without leaves and apparently
dead except that they bore. at the

ants, and all in slow movement up and

DENVER, Colo, September az
When we went down to the river ON
Wednesday morning, August %, we
found a perfect maze of fresh deer
tracks in the wet sand beside the water.
Judging by the different sizes Of
these tracks, the animals must have
been there by the dozens in the night.
Gathered on tiny Sandpit across
the river were 81 large. fine ducks.
The really ufiexplored state of this
canyon was apparent from the fact
that the ducks had no fear of us and
did not stir for hours. Guns were

Following the deer tracks down.
stream, we surprised monster beaver
at work about 80 feet up the bank.
He seemed almost as large as seal.
Apparently he never had seen human
being. for he sat still, regarding US
curiously for 80 seconds. Then he took
fright and in his haste to reach the
water, simply tumbled down the bank
Then came the blue herons. This
canyon seems to be favorite haunt
of these big birds, for we saw dozens
of them every day. Nearly every sand
spit held two or three herons We
always approached quite close. before
they flew leisurely off.
