Whites’ Food Kills Eskimos.

Chicago.—The Eskimos of Alaska are fast becoming extinct, according to David Johnson Elliott, former government educator, who has spent the last twenty years in Alaska educating that race and investigating gold mining companies.

“The natives are passing away rapidly," he said in an address before the Hawkeye Fellowship club. "They can’t live on the white man’s food, chiefly because they cannot cook it. The children die of Indigestion.” Mr. Elliott claims the honor of being the first white man to -nd gold in Anvil creek, near Nome.
