fire. Now the woman takes hold of one end, | and her husband of 
the other, and they put the salal-berry cakes (for now their name 
is changed) || over the fire. After doing so, her husband | builds up 80 
the fire with very dry alder-wood. | The reason why they use alder- 
wood to burn underneath is because it gives no sparks | and it makes

taken them all down, the woman | takes an empty drying-frame and 
places it over the top | one which has the long strips of salal-berry 
cakes on it. Then she turns it over on the | empty one. The woman 
is careful that the salal-berry cake | is flush with the end of the 
empty drying-frame, and || that the sides are straight along its sides; 95 
for all the frames are made of the same length | and of the same 
width. As soon as | she has finished, she calls her husband to come 
and take hold | of the drying-frames that lie face to face. Then her
