They live by hunting and trapping and m'mse find caribou meat provides Iheir chief food. They are peaceable but are very jealous for their hunting grounds. An Indian lne not invade Ihe trapping ground of his neighbor and he iloes not. like a white man to invade, his. In other respects he is very friendly and weleone anyone who wishes to farm or mine. v At l'ort 0 rah am (be cost of living is high because jt costs ii cents a pound to lake supplies in there and this cost has lo be added to the price paid for all food and supplies. Sometimes the food is not of Ihe very best iiualily. The bishop told of some beans they bought that were so hard it was almost impossible to cook them. 'I he country in Ihere is in the ame state that it was when Sir Alexander Mackenzie and Simon I'raser first arrived. Fraser established Fori Mcl.eod in 1H05 and it had been open continuously since that time. St. James was established Ihe. following year. II was the capital of British Columbia for several years when Hie country was known as New Caledonia. It had the largest group of whiles in (he country. The bishop told of (he gardens he had seen at the small set lle- , menta where potatoes, cabbages and other produce grew well and ! grains ripened. XVIiile the sea was short the days were long ' and growth was very rapid. Names of Tribes 'Ihe reason why the Harriers were so named wns given by the speaker. The widows carried 'llic hones of their dead husbands ion their backs after the process of incineration which was practised. They were kept until a iMifficienl supply of furs and ! other goods could be gathered for a pottalcli. The Undines were named by the courcurs de hois, the name! being given Iheni because of the practise of Ihe young girls on reaching womanhood of carrying a bone or piece of hardwood between the teeth and lower lip. iHabino was slang word for "big lip" in French. Each of the four nations is anxious lo dominate in numbers, and influence and for that reason they object lo girls of the tribe l.'aving and intermarrying with others. Influence of Shaman The most difficult matter with which the missionaries had l; contend- was the influence of the shaman or medicine man., The Indians believed in super.; natural powers, a future life and good and evil spirits. 'tlie; shaman claimed Ihe powtT loj propitiate Ihe evil spirits and loj control Ihe good ones, hence he had much influence in the tribe, especially during a limp of sickness, It look long hard work In rid Ihe tribes of the influence of Iheso men who were mostly fakirs. One medicine man, when converted, (old of a time when he showed the peoplo lhat he could eat fire and had badly burned his longue so lhat it still showed the scars, "Urilish Columbia is an empire in itseir," declared the bishop and Ibis U realized best when people travel into remote parts by canoe or horseback as jie had done.
