maximum width of four or five feet. These shelters are for the accom-

saplings are set firmly into the ground, so as to form a slightly curved 
inclosure with convex side toward the south. Cottonwood and willow 
boughs in foliage, grease-wood, sage brush, and rabbit brush are laid

6 or 7 feet. This light material is held in place by bands of small cot- 
tonwood branches laid in continuous horizontal lines around the out- 
side of the shelter and these are attached to the upright saplings with 
cottonwood and willow twigs.
