#¥ THE FUR SEAL ISLANDS Corner of the United States that Knows No Poverty, TEF MILLION SEAL Alents Up In the Arctie Well Housed, Well € New Lease of the 1 nlinto. / HERD WASHINGTON. Nov. 13—~The secretary of commerce and labor Is now engaged In ‘preparing an invitation to American companies and fndividuals to submit bids for the leasing of one of the most valuable and at the same time most troublesome, possessions of the United States, the Pribllof group, better known as the Fur Seal islands. The term of ten years of the present lessee, thes North American Commerefal company of San Francisco, expires on April 3, 1910. The lease allows the holder to kill about 15,000 fur seals anmually, and these sell in the London market for not less than $465,000 The islands were acquired from along with the rest of Alaska, In 1867, and in 1870 they were first leased, the Alaska Commercial company belng the lessee. In 1890 the North Amerfcan Commercial com- pany made a better hid and secured the privilege of taking seals for the succeeding ten years. Tt Is belleved that the Alaska Commercial company, which has again be- come an aggressive competitor in the fur buying industry In Alaska, will bid for the lease. Under the present contract the lessee pays at the rate of $10.22% for each skin taken. The secretary of commerce and Iabor determines the kind and number bf scals to be taken each year and the method of killing. Under the regulations the ant mals are killed with clubs, and the kill i restricted to ‘‘bachelors years old. The age Is fixed by the welght of the skin, none welghing less than elght and & half pounds belng legal. As the bachelors herd by themselves most of the killing season, It is an easy matter to see that only male seals are killed, although at the end of the mating season more care must be exercised. Natives Well Furnished. In addition to the sum paid the govern- ment for each skin the company furnishes free to the natives on the islands dried salmon and salt and salt barrels for pre- serving a supply of meat, elghty tons of coal annually, comfortable dwellings and necessary school houses,, which it keeps in repalr, competent teachers and a free school for the education of the children elght months of the year, competent phy- siclans, medicines and medical supplies, and the necessaries of life for the widows and orphans and aged and Infirm inhab- {tents of the islands unable to provide for themselves. The company also employs the natives to perform such work on the islands as they are fitted to perform at a compensation fixed by the secretary of commerce and labor. On its slde the government employs an agent, Walter I. Lembkey, and three assist- ant agents to look after its interest upon the islands, and also furnishes revenue cutters and naval vessels to protect the islands from raids by marauding pelagic wealers. The Pribilof islands, which are the breed- ing grounds of major Herd of the P cific fur seals, were discovered in 1786 by Gerasgim Pribllof, a navigator in the em- ploy of one of the Russian trading com- panles. They are situated in Bering sea, about 2000 miles from Seattle, Wash. The group consists of St. Paul, 8t. George, Wal- rus and Otter islands and Sea Lion Rock. They are completely isolated from other Russia | of 2 and 3/ walrue, sea in almost llons and foxes were found unlimited numbers. The killing of all these species of animals proceeded with wonton prodigality from 1788 until 1835, when the fur seal herd was redyced to Mes than 20000 A closed season was [ established tslands from 1835 to | 1945-80, Auring which period only such Isenls were killed as were necessary to furnish food and eclothing for the natives, | | while the killing of females was prohibited entirely As A the result of these drastic herd was gradually measures | rehabilitated, and possession 100,000 young male seals w | Killed annually for commercial purposes From 178 to 1900, both Inclusive, there have been killed in the islands, abont 5,100,500 seals.

They are Aleuts, being members of the race living upon the Aleutian ehain, from which they were brought originally by the Russians to aid In killing the seals, They are a simple, kindly people, with whom the whites have nev. had any trouble.

Their | samovars and tea kettles of American make, are bubbling and boiling from the moment the housewife stirs herself at daybreak until the fire goes out when they sleep. They are practically all members of the Russian church and both St. Paul and St. George have churches of this faith and resident priests. Every year or so they are visited by Bishop Innocent, the Russian bishop of Alaska, and during his visit but little work is done, all being busy feasting and attending services in the church or having processions along the ane street each village boasts, In these processions the priests, acolytes and sing- ers are all dressed in handsome robes and all earry crosses, lcons and banners. Weddings and chrietenings are occasions of especial significance in the church life and are also celebrated with feasting and merrymaking in the homes after the church portion is over with THE WOMAN AT THE PHONE Wasn't Communicative and the Company Profited ' Thereby. “Occaslonally,” said the man 'as he left the ‘telephone booth red-faced and angry, “folks do things out of a perversity that cannot be explained.

RESULTS OF AN INVESTIGATION Recent Origin of Tubercnlosi Various Tribes, the Cause Care—Preventive Meas- ures Needed. ON - (pecial.) The Very great activity that has prevafled | dur recent years in the study of pre ven disenses and especially of tuber- | culosis, has been very widespread.

This subject | is natarally of very great srtance and | calls for attempts to lMmit the | spread of the inféction, unless we are will ing that the red man shall follow the| bison and other aboriginal forms to termination Dr. Ales Hrdlicka of the sclentific of the United States Natioual Museu dertook during the of 1908, the jolut auspices of the Office of Indlan Affairs and the Smithsonian institution study of the conditions with regard to tuberculosis among flve selected tribes | of Indians In the United States. He made an exhibit and presented a preliminary ac- | count of his studies before the Sixth In- ternational Tuberculosis congress that was | held in Washington during September and October of 108. This preliminary extended by the insertion of his report and with numerous {llustrations has just been published with the title of “Tuberculosis Among Certain Indian Tribes of the United States,” hs bulletin forty-two of the Bureau of American Ethnology of the Smithsonfan institution Susceptibility of the Race. A brief summary of the bulletin can ‘not but be of Intcrest to the general public as well as to the specialist. In his Introduc- tlon, Dr. Hrdlicka discusses the history of the development of the disease among the Indians, and he finds while there is no reference made to it by writers who re- | ported on the period of the earilest con- | tact of the whites with the varfous tribes still at the present time the Indfans show a greater susceptibility to the disease than the white man, thus clearly indicating n lesser immunization of his svstem which {mplies the more recent introduction of the infection Into his race. Dr. Hrdlicka cor- | rectly assumes ‘that the diseaso must have been m less frequent among the Indians in former times when they lived a more natural and active life, were better inured to hardshipe, and, with the excep- | tion of particular localities and periods, were better provided with suitable food.” Caretully prepared tables on the mor- | bidity and mortality of tuberculosis among | the Indians are presented by Dr. Hrdlicka, compiled from the census reports, from statistics colldcted by physicians in the Indian service in 1904, and from statistics | on mortality gathered by the Indian of- fice during 1%8. In a general way this| data may be summarized as showing that among’ 1,000 Indians there are 9.7 per cent cases of pulmonary tuberoulosis; 195 per cent of tuberculosis of bones and joints, and 15 per cent of cases of glandular tub culosis.

After some waiting the same woman got on the wire again. Again she told me T had the wrong number and at once rang off. ‘That made 10 cents to the bad. “Once more 1 got central and this time I went after her strong. She sald she cer- teloly had given me the number I asked for, and 1 was just as sure that she hadn't Well, anyway, she promised to get it for me this time if it could be got “Much to my surprise, when I heard a voice at the other end next time It was that of the woman I had had twice before.

The physical condition of these var- fous tribes of Indians are contrasted and the influence of civilization upon them “for better or for worse” clearly shown. Most Interesting is his discussion of the Etiology of tuberculosis among the Indlans. He finds that the most potent of all factors is the facility of infection, particularly during the cold or ralny season. Almost as serious s the frequent hereditary taint among the young. He says: “In a tribe such as the Sloux it would be very dif- ticult, if not impossible, to find a family in which there have not been tuberculosis individuale, some of whose progeny are congenitally pyedisposed to the disease.” Among other ‘causes cited are “the greater “the pregence of ractal susceptibility tuberculosis glands or other tuberculosls processes in individuals”; and “the influ- ence of diseases other than those of the respiratory tract.”” He cglls attention to the fact that “dissipatlon, indolence, and all other weakening conditions contribute, doubtless, as much to the susceptibility of the Indian to tuberculosis infection as they do among the whites.” “Want and con- sequent debilitation” are cited as respon- sible for a falr proportion of the cases of pulmonary tuberculosis among the In- dians. Under the heading Hrdlicka discusses treatment.

The author wisely urged that “all alco- holism should be repressed.’ In bringing his report to an end Dr. Hrdlicka rightly says “whatever is done for the Indian in preventing and curing tuberculosis will be of potential civilizing influence for the race and will mean also an advance in the campalgn against the other pathological conditions to which he 18 subject.” The lllusirations which are helf-tone réproductions of photographs taken by the author from actual places visited serve most admirably to elucidate the text and also show conditions of the home life of the tribes of Indians which came under Woman’s Work Activitien of the Organized dies Along the Lines of Us. dertaking of Concern to Women.
