No, 23. The name of this informant was evidently not obtained. 
She was of Coldwater affiliation; her parents came from there and 
relatives in the family were Coldwater, Upper Uta’mqt and Thomp- 
son. The informant had spent part of her 32 years among the Cold- 
water and had made baskets since she was very young, a number of 
shapes, but mostly medium-sized burden baskets, of which she was 
making one or two nearly every year. The designs with which she 
ornamented these are given in Sketches 14, 43, 74, 88, 179, 186, 187, 
197, 212, 223(2), 225-227, 245, 252, 257, 303, 315, nearly like 330, 
365, 435, 445, 479, 520, 547, 584, nearly like 715, 785, 790, 845. 
No. 24. Mrs. Louis was raised among the Upper Uta’mqt and 
belonged to that band. Her parents came from North Bend and 
Boston Bar bands. At 45 Mrs. Louis was still making four or five 
baskets every year and said that she had been engaged in the work 
since childhood. Although she had not pretended to specialiaze in 
any particular kind and had tried her hand at all of them, she had 
made a great many fancy baskets, which she had adorned with the 
designs seen in Sketches 14, 74, 79, 82, 87, nearly like 103, 108, 111, 
198, nearly like 208, 222, 225, 232, 244, 245, 247, 248, 257, 265, 274, 
278, 298, 332, 365, 380, 435, 488, 489, 504, 521, 525, 528, 537, 584, 
585, nearly like 639, 704, 717, nearly like 746, 747, 748, 798. 
No. 25. Mrs. Paul was a member of the Spuzzum Band of the 
Lower Uta’mqt division. Her parents were from the same locality 
and Mrs. Paul was raised there. She was at least 67 years old when 
interviewed and since she had begun making baskets when a mere 
child’ and was still making three or four every year, during her life 
she had completed a great many. In her earlier years her rate of 
production was much higher but she said she was not able to do as 
good work as formerly. She had made all of the old shapes and even 
a few of the new ones, but most of her baskets had been burden 
baskets. Some of the .stlik and burden shapes she had made had 
been of very large size. Some of the designs which Mrs. Paul had 
executed are to be seen in Sketches 79-81, 197, 198, 208, 240, 241, 
257, 292, 308, 382, 399, 400, 402, 518, 806, and a number of others 
not in the sketches.
