Intemperance Among Alaska Natives

The Rev. R. W. Hill, who has been to Alaska, draws a gloomy picture of the intemperance among the natives. "The Indians will give away wife and children," he says, "to obtain liquor, and their carousals are so fierce and reckless that murders and suicides are frequent results."
