the salal-berry cakes. | Those are not the best salal-berries that are 
mixed with || elderberries; for they make them in a (cheap) way to sell 
them, and also for her | husband to give a feast of salal-berry cakes. 
They do the same with the | salal-berries as they do with the elder- 
berries when a feast is given. | The only difference is that the dishes 
are called | ‘‘salal-berry-cake dishes.’ That is all about the one 
way of doing this. | 
Salal-Berries and Elderberries mixed—(Strips of caked salal- 
berries). | In this! (box) salal-berries mixed with elderberries are 
pounded before they are ripe. | This is what I talked about first, for 
they are made as cheaply as possible, because they are for sale | or 
given at a feast to different tribes. Therefore the salal-berries are 
not pure; || and they put in the elderberries so that they will show 
up better and | that the salal-berry cakes will dry more quickly, when 
elderberries | are mixed with them, for this is sold cheaply. | 
Now I will talk about the salal-berry cakes, which are made care- 
fully by the | women for their own food and for their husbands, their 
children, and their || relatives. When (the woman) makes the salal- 
berry | cakes mixed with elderberries, she does not pick the largest 
salal-berries seen by her, those which grow well, | she keeps these to 
be picked when they are | ripe. When they are quite ripe, she 
takes her three | baskets, the same ones that were used before,
