F. ;his 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 Island, 34 of a mile long and 700 feet high, lies in the north ern end of the Boring Sea, near where Boring Strait connects the Pacific and Arctic Oceans. It's population is 175 lives in huts that are built on stilts, so presipitously 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 s15,- 900. This money they spent in Nome for supplies, largely flour, 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 CTS are usually we'll 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,O00 in an archipelago extending westward l. 200 miles from the Alaska Peninsula to 300 miles from the Kamchatka Peninsula of Asia and dividing Ber- ing Sea from the rest of the Pacific Ocean. But white mems vices-lead- ing to white mems diseases-and in general white mems ways of living without white mems 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, $50 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 Boring Sea.
