Strong 1921 Hazelton, B.C. 74. Kispiox. At the crossing there is a sizable Indian village with many totem-poles along the river. According to Mr. Beins the last totem poles, according to the Indians, ever to be raised, were put up about six or seven years ago. They had elaborate ritualistic ceremonies; the young women, "Blooches" according to Beins, pulled them up gradually with much chanting. Baell is the brush he says, it is a house where they put their witch-doctors thru a three years training course. Saw a very light porcupine hung up in one garden. An old woman with a paella and two dogs likewise burdened, came by loaded down with spruce ears. There are many stripped trees along all the roads. Saw one male Purle Quibbeals?, a few rabbits, two Zapus, some rats, and one great Blue Heron. Also several Spanow Hawlis. The scenery is beautiful - large Cottonwoods, Poplars and Alders, mingled with patches of spruce and pine, beautiful rivers, and the glorious jagged peaks rising on all sides. The highest ones entirely snow covered, the others growing brown above timber line. One could read his watch at 11.15 P.M. tonight, and day light did not fade entirely till after 12. Two hours later dawn began to break. Had a cold, long, and hard ride getting in about twelve. Had tea and went to bed to let the mosquitoes and gnats eat us. Several hard showers today.
