NEAT OF BODIES
\
HI WARMTH IN
.... Continued from Saturday ....
In the center of the floor is
a deeper excavation about six
or eight feet square, which serves |
as the fire pit. It is only used
f! when the inmates of the kazhga j
in the luxury of a sweat bath. :
Owing to the extreme scarcity j
of wood, fires are never used to
T heat their houses. The presence
of a number of people, shut up
in these air-tight abodes is enough I
to keep the temperature]
just above freezing point which 1
is considered to be comfortable.
From the level of the firepit
a narrow ditch is dug extend
ing 12 to 15 feet. This ditch slants ]
upwards to the surface of the
ground and is covered, so it j
forms a perfect tunnel. Be
tween the firepit and the front
wall of the kazhga is a circular
shaft through the floor and con
necting with the tunnel. To en
<> ter a kazhga a person creeps
along through the dark little tun- j
nel until he reaches the shaft, s
called “pugyarak”, Here he is able j
to stand erect and by pressing
his hands on the sides of the hole
can spring up on the floor.
Around the sides of the kazhga j
extends a broad shelf made of j
split logs- This shelf which is the :
usual sleeping place, is about
three feet high. The interior of
a kazhga is always dark and
gloomy, the sides and roof are
blackened with smoke and soot
and the floor is covered with
grease and dirt.

LOSS OF
c
i
A slight error is made in another j
: column in this issue wherein an j
it em Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Boyes, (this j
is correct) were moving into the
iOrmer McConnell home. Instead,
it was later learned today that the
new Seward residents planned to
take the home just vacatel by Mrs.
Ralph A. Miller.
As was announced some weeks
ago Mr. Boyes is with the Alaska
prohibition department -and will
make Seward his headquarters for
this district of the Territory as his i
work will be confined to this area.j
Those who have already met Mr.
Boyes see in him a splendid type of j
a government officer and with his |
charming wife, it would appear,
Juneau’s loss of these residents has
been Seward’s gain.
Jack O'Connor, deputy marshal •
at Nenana and Deputy Marshal 1
Dwyer from Tanana, arrived in I
Seward Saturday with two men j
adjudged to be insane and who
are being taken to Morningside.
