The Eskimos in Alaska are rapidly becoming a decadent race, according to Dr. R. F. Fitch, of Valdez, who is 8 guest at the Hotel Utah. Dr. Fitch has been in Alaska for several years, where he is interested in mining de- veloIment. He came out of the North land on the last boat, arriving in Seat tie last month. Dr. Fitch plans to spend the winter in Chicago, his for mer home, and early next spring he will return to Valdez. He plans an ex- tensive development work next sum- lner inside the Artic circle.
 Before the advent of the white man, the Eskimo, dependent on fish- erman, hunter and trapper and he pro- vided we'll for his family" Dr. Fitch said. However, the same conditions now exist in Alaska as are visible in he Indian country throughout the United States the American Indian, or the greater part of them, has be- come absolutely dependent on the white man.
 "No more do you see the attractive Eskimo settlements which in years gone by dotted the coast-line of Alas ka. The villages are ill-kept and in many instances have been abandoned. The Eskimo tribes have disbanded, the members gathering together in small groups and camping near the towns and white fishing settlements where they are satisfied to gather the scraps wich are cast away. The death rate in te last few years has increased ala,mingly and the influenza epidemic which struck Alaska during the last months in 1918 and the early part ol 1919 exacted a great toll in Eskimo lives.
 Villages Wiped Out.
 "With officials of the revenue cutter service, we went from one village to another to aid in combating the spread of the disease and the sights We saM were shocking. Entire villages were completely wiped out. In several set dement's we found not . living soul and on all sides lay the bodies of men, women and children. The Eskimo has become shiftless and he is content to take what the white man leaves"
 Dr. Fitch said in October hn went nto the Carabou country and witness .he run of countless numbers of Cari.

The doctor said there were but few natives who bsgged game for their winters supply. He said that about January the natives will send out appeals for aid and that many will starve befor. summer.
 The doctor said that the run o1 Caribou into the feeding country is one of the greatest sights to be seen He said by natural instinct the Cari bou for miles around will gather int one great group and when all hav- assembled the leaders will below mighty.rqars and start for the feed ing country.

 Railroad Will Be Boon.
 The Valdez physician said the com. pletion of the government railroad now being constructed in Alaska, wi. prove to be the territory's greatest as- set, and will result in the developmen. of extensive resourcse which hav> been left untouched on account of in. adequate transportation facilities. He said when the main line of the road $ completed, branch lines will b. added and these lines will extend into the interior which is in need of trans portation. The doctor said it is al most impossible to get freight into the interior on account of the famou. Valdez, Fairbanks trail, which has been the principal trail, which as been the principal transportation ar- tery into the Interior, being wiped out in various places by glaciers. He said hat on account of the war the gov ernment is unable to attend the trail properly and that the country has sui. lered. The Guggenheims control a rail- load leading to some of their exten- sive mining properties but the freight rates charged make it virtually pro hlbltlve Tor persons to attempt to ship freight over this line.
 Dr. Fitch said the recent New York Alaska airplane flight by amy aviators was the cause of great re- .oicing throughout Alaska, as it means
 he rapid carrying of mail in the fu- ture.
 "Word from your loved ones and friends on the outside is life itself when one is in the great quiet of an Alaskan winter" Dr. Fitch said, "and wien the time comes that great planes will journey from the States to Alaska .n ( few days with mail, then the in- ''nse silence of the Arctic will be no more"

and accidentally taking too much
liquor aboard.
Thirty-one arrests of drivers of
automobiles and five drivers OF horse
drawn vehicles have been arrested
for driving while under the influence
of liquor since February /, according
to police records. but the records do
not show the extent of penalties i'm
posed in Police Court.
Maj. Gessford said he had instruct
ed members of his command to strict
ly enforce the law against driving
horses and vehicles while under the
influence of liquor. He said he be-
lieved the law is being enforced, real
izing. however, that all intoxicated
drivers are not seen by policemen.
Lieut.. Shelby asked why SO many
persons had been found driving hors-
es and vehicles while under the in
fluence of liquor. said he though II
probably was because the "hootch"
men are drinking induces a state of
intoxication much quicker than the
genuine whisky.
Driving while under the influence
of liquor is punishable under the pro-
visions of the Sheppard dry law. The
penalty prescribed is fine of not
less than $25 nor more than $500, nor
more than three months imprison-
ment being the alternative, or OF both
fine or imprisonment. 1t is probable
that the Judges Of the Police Court
will be asked to impose prison SEN
tences on all persons violating this
provision of law.
