painter, when he paints | the front of a house, takes rubbed cedar- 18 
bark and | puts it into his mouth, and he takes dried salmon-spawn 
and || he bites a piece off from it, and he chews it with the cedar- 20 
bark; | and assoon as his mouth is full of that which is just like gum 
and milk, | he spits it into his paint-dish, and he does not stop until 
the paint-dish is nearly | full. Then he takes out of his mouth what 
has been chewed | and puts it into his brush-box; then he takes a || 
piece of coal and rubs it in the liquid that he spit out; | and he - 
only stops when his paint is really black. | That is all about this. | 
Sticky Salmon-Spawn.—As soon as spring comes, then | the bladder 
with salmon-spawn is taken down from where it hangs, and itis broken 
open at the side. || Then a piece of sticky spawn is taken out when | 30 
the salmon-sprouts are brought into the house. They peel them, 
and eat the sticky spawn with the | salmon-berry sprouts when they

have no sticky spawn, dip salmon-berry sprouts into || oil, and also 35

When | the women go to dig fern-root, they | come home when they 
get agreat many. Immediately they sit down by the fire and | roast 
the fern-roots under the fire in the house. As soon as || the bark is 40 
blackened all over, it is done. Then she takes a piece of fire-wood
