ALEUTIAN INDIANS
ARE RAPIDLY DYING
Native Population of the Chain of
Islands May Soon Become
Extinct.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press


Washington. oct 7.--Thc rapid de-
cline of the native population of the
Alcutian chain of islands is told in a
report just received by the marine
hospital service from +. j. Thornbury,
its assistant surgeon at Dutch Harbor,
Alaska. The report says that formerly
there We're 40 villages on the islands
with a native population variously es-
tlmated at from 1900 to $500. Now
in the same district there are only ten
villages and 1900 inhabitants, exclusive
of whites. of whom 400 are Creolcs
mixed breeds with Russians and other
nationalties) and 700 Aleutes.
The report says:
Last year Unalaska had $50 inhabi-
tants, 116 or nearly one-third of whom
died. According to data obtained from
the Russia priest of the Greek Catho-
lie church Rev. b. p. Kashcreroff who
has the only mortality records kept in
the village there being no health Off
CT or even physician, thirty deaths
were ascrihed to cold twenty-four to
consumption. thirty-three to measles
and seven TO old age; five We're
drowned.
The remarkable mortality from mea-
sizes among lne llallNeS Ol NlaSka our
ing the past year appears ascriba BILE
largely to the bad sanitary environ
ment and lack of precaution against
exposure.
"On the KuSkowim and in other Sec
tIons on the mainland. from one half
to tWo-thirdS of the natives died and
many were left unburied in the mad
houses where they lived, surviving
members Immediately deserving the
huts, which latter often contain from
one TO two dozen natives living regard
less of family relations.
AS many as half dozen dead bod
les have been seen by prospcctors in
Il single hovel and numerous dead bod
les were seen lying about on the ground
partly eaten by the foxes.
There are numerous Instances of
whole villages being deserted the few
surviving natives having IA supersti-
tuition about staying where So many of
their number had died.
