ESKIMOS OF ALASKA
PROSPER WHILE THE
ALEUTS DETERIORATE
SEATTLE, Wn„ Nov. 17. (/^—Es
kimos inhabiting northwestern Alas
ka are prosperously advancing into
now ways of living under Uncle
Sam, but Aleuts, occupying the Aleu
tian chain of islands, seem down
ward bound to annihilation, a course
into which they set before this coun
try bought Alaska from Essian in
tt67.
This report was brought by the
cutter Bear* of the Coas’ Guard when
she reached Seattle from her 37th
annual cruise inio the Arctic Ocean.
B'dians. the other natives li/‘-g in

UOi tone-.
Eskimos o! continental A nk;i have
taken extensively to in;:-]:* foxes
and ma:k.? .ing the pe F • this
industry they resort to St. Lawrence
Island, American ground in the Ber
ing Sea, and to the 300-mile stretch
of northwestern coast North Ameri
ca on the Arctic Ocean between Pt.
Hope and Point Barrow, the north
ern tip of Alaska.
But the outstanding demonstration
of advancement among Eskimos not
ed last summer by Lieut. Comman
der William P. Wishaar, executive of
ficer of the Bear, was that of the
King Islanders.
King Islaand, % of a mile long
and 700 feet high, lies in the north
ern end of the Bering Sea, near where
Bering Strait connects the Pacific
and Arctic Oceans. Its population
is 175 lives in huts that are built
on stilts, so pVesipitously do the
sides rise from the chill waters.
The King Islanders have long been
known for the ornaments they carve
from walrus ivory and which they
maket every summer in Nome. Last
summer they found a longshoremen’s
strike on in Nome. They fell to at
that work, and for it received $15,
000. This money they spent in
Nome for supplies, largely floui', tea
and sugar. The Bear took the Is
landers home, and carried 30 tons
of their purchases, including furni
ture.
For other staples, the King Island
ers are usually well fixed. Right at
their island they take the big wal
rus, whose tusks afford ivory; the
hair seal, which affords meat, heat
and light, and the ugrook, a large
seal whose flesh is sweet and nour
ishing. Blubber—layer fat beneath
the skin—taken from the hair seal
is burned by using moss as a wick.
Before Russia sold the Territory
the Aleuts numbered 25,000 in an
archipelago extending westward 1,
200 miles from the Alaska Peninsula
to 500 miles from the Kamchatka
Peninsula of Asia and dividing Ber
ing Sea from the rest of the Pacific
Ocean. But wljite men’s vices—lead
ing to white men’s diseases—and in
general white men’s ways of living
without white men’s age-old training
—set the Aleuts into the path of
destruction.
Villages have become few in the
Aleutian Islands. In Attu, at the
western end of the Archipelago, Wis
haar counted 15 residents, and in
Atka, the next inhabited spot, 550
miles eastward, 40.
The one place at which Wishaar
found Aleut prosperity "was Unalas
ka, 150 miles from the eastern end of
the Archipelago. There live 150
Aleuts, many of whom work at the
seal rookeries of the Government on
the Pribilof Islands, St. Paul and St.
George, in the Bering Sea.
