the villages for the summer. How were the houses
to be built?
WOMEN BUILT HOUSES.
In this crisis the women came to the rescue.
With the few old left in the villages they
built these houses They hauled the logs for
miles with the aid of two little wooden wheels,
like a ch1ld's gocart. They carried dirt for the
mortar on their backs in baskets woven from
willow They brought the water in buckets hewn
out of logs. They chopped the hay and grass to
mix with the mortar and, having no implements
for the mixing of the latter. they trod it smooth
with their feet In those northern forests they did
not always find logs large enough to use in
house and they supplied the lack by weaving logs
of coarse willow branches They made the roof Of
two layers of sod, cut from the prairie. They had
no trowels. and they laid the mortar with their
hands. And sometimes they had no nails, and then
their carpenter work a marvel OF ingenuity.
