J, the “Glacier Priest,” last night de- livered an intensely interesting and informative lecture to an audience that fairly packed the Palace The- atre, and he achieved the difficult thing of holding the undivided at tention of the crowd by his charm: ing and humorous presentation of a sclentific subject. @ Father Hubbard, who is professor or geology at Santa Clara Uni- versity, had for his theme his ex- plorations this year and last of the Alaska Peninsula. He took his aud- jence with him from the landing to the interior and back, through the world’s largest volcanoes, the Val- ley of Ten Thousand Smokes and among summits of surrounding mountains. The lecture was il- lustrated with technicolor pictures, bothumoving and still. They proved [the hardships experienced- by . the expedition, which consisted of Fath- er Hubbard and three associates, and presented the discoveries and the scenery that produced the com- pensating thrills for those who' made the trip. Motion pictures of caribou herds and ears were among those shown. e . L] AT THE HOTELS | . . Gastineau United States Deputy Marshal C. V. Brown, of Petersburg; H. Bogler of Ketchikan; A. E.
