Arthur C. Jackson, pres IJent of the Alaska Geographical So ciety who spent two months during the past summer In the territory says: "The condition of the native Esquimaux in Western Alaska Is pitiful to behold. During the past year dls?oje has wronght much havoc among them, and unless some measures are token short ly, by the government, to better their condition It will only be a short time until that race of people will be num bered with the past. During our trav eit, ror my wire was with me. we saw many touching ,lghts. tome of which are never to be, forgotten. To the advance of clrllltatlon Is partly Jue their state, for It cannot be said that the Eskimo- haa yet adapted him elf to the new conditions. While : was at Cape Nome I talked with the census supervisor!. . Ift informed me that many of his enumerators, who did the work In the Koyukuk district. brought In with them stories of an ap palling nature. He said that In several of the districts, from the reports that he had received he was convinced that fully 60 per rent of the Indians had died from disease and prlvaflon since the enumeration began. In several of the sections that we visited. we found llttlo Indian huts In which there had been no fire for the enUre winter sea son. Wood was scarce; the head of the family was either dead or 111 with some one of the many diseases that have been rampant among the Indians of that section during the past season ana mere was no one lert to go on a Journey for wood. So through the long winter day and night these Impoverish ed people lived In squalid poverty with no lire to. keep the body warm or with which to prepare a meal, should the victuals be In the house with which to do It. , During a recent Interview the cap tain of a ship now lvlng at Tacoma is quoted as saying: "When the ques tion was up before congress) much was said about the protection of the sail or; but nn experience of many years at fO, both before the. mast and on the quarterdeck has , convinced me that anybody who loses any sleep over the wrongs done this class of sailors had better betow their sympathies upon some other class of laborers. ' Now, don't misunderstand me. I am not harsh In my Judgment on sailors, but upon the class of sailors who gener ally nre the ones who kick up a fuss nbout Ill-treatment, poor food and In sufficient wages. On my voyage to this one I cleared from Hull for China and Japan ports, and from there to Aus tralia for coal for 'Frisco, so that by the time I reached 'Frisco I had been nn thp way fourteen months, as I had long waits In all the ports of call. Now, my crew consisted of sixteen men be fore the mast, and every man of these sixteen had not lc than 30 pounds coming to them, and yet, you can be lieve ire or not. but before I haa been In 'Frisco four days, nil I had left of my sixteen men was four, the oth er twelve had skipped over the side, leaving 30 pounds wages due them! and 1 am willing to wager not a single one of these was shipped in even as well found a ship as the one they had deserted from; and two of them I af terwards learned had shipped In a packet that the mate was arrested for brutally beating the crew. Another thlng In this quesUon of crimping sail ors is the question of charter rates. As long as rates are ruling low. away down In the twenty shilling scale, sail ors are then getting the Identical wages they are getting now when rrelght rates have Jumped up to near the fifty shil ling mark, therefore I don't see that the ship owners have really much of kick coming if the Doarding nouse runners try and make a little extra money out of the high rates prevail ing, and If you come ciown to nara facts, the one who Is toeing 'Jobbed' Is tbe farmer who grows the grain in the eastern section of this state.
