Enclosures protected from the wind by
grass mats fastened to stakes and with
Y FIRE in the middle.
One popularity Of these Indians. who,
by the way, are such formidable war
riors that even the Apaches are afraid
of them. Is that they elevate many
things upon stills. Their mail boxes
are on stills, to keep them out of the
reach Of the coyotes. which will eat

annual floods. 1t rains in that region
only about once year, but then-how
it does pour! The heavens seem ac-

temporarily converted into lakes.
To keep them out Of the reach OF
the floods and the coyotes mot to men,

twenty feet-and at night. when 1t is
