SHUSWAP PEOPLE OF BEITISH COLUMBIA. 29 lu the remotest antiquity, the country was peopled by Indians, bnt they were poor, because the salmon could not ascend the Fraser ou account of a dam, which two old hags or witches had made where Hell-Grate Canon now is. Skil-ap' told the people that he would go down 'the river and break the dam, so that the salmon might come up. He instructed them to watch for a great smoke... which he would make to show them when he had set out on his return. He then transformed himself into a smooth flat piece of wood, well shaped, and floated down the river till he lodged against the dam at Hell-Gate Caiion. Soon the women came to the dam to get salmou, and seeing the piece of wood said, " We will make a plate of this. " They took the wood and three times put salmon upon it, but each time the fish disappeared, for Skil-ap' ate it. They then became suspicious and threw the wood upon the fire, but no sooner had they done so than it began to cry like a child, and apparently turned into a man child, for they snatched it from the lire, and having washed and dressed it, proceeded to care for it.
