REV. B. R. HUBBARD, S. J., OF THE UNIVERSITY
OF SANTA CLARA, CALIF., WILL PERSONAL
LY DESCRIBE HIS WESTWARD EXPLORA
TION WORK, ACCOMPANYING SIX REELS OF
MAGNIFICENT MOVING PICTURES AND TWO
HUNDRED COLORED SLIDES, OF ALASKA’S
FAMOUS VALLEY OF 10,000 SMOKES.
At the last moment today, just prior to press time.
Father Hubbard, “The Glacier Priest,’’upon request of
I-cal friends, decided to show his moving: pictures of the
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes which h? personally ob
tained last year. He had thought that time would not
permit him as he arrived this morning from the West
ward where he continued, over a period of three
months, geological studies of the previous year. Father
Hubbard’s picture and lecture this evening, at 8 o'clock
in the Liberty Theater will be far above the ordinary,
it is a certainty, for he not only is a national figure, but
internationally, as well. He lectures in Europe next win
ter.
His services as a lecturer are constantly in demand
throughout the states and his articles and photographs—
in recent years devoted to Alaska— have appeared in
the leading periodicals of Europe and the United
States. It is doubtful if many have ever viewed moving
pictures of this eighth wonder of the world for very few
photographers have visited the isolated region.
The usual admission prices will prevail this evening.

ties like Great Britain and Amer

have brought forth such a doeu- ,
ment, he stated.
The British Admirality always ]
i favored the treaty, he added^ but ]
that the American general board j
Uthe navy) was overwhelmingly \}
! opposed that our government and j
our intrnationalists should em
brace the British Admirality’s de- <
| mand, now a hollowmess and j
