MOON CRATERS | LOOK JUST LIKE ANIAKCHAK'S Hubbard Pictures Show Great Holes on Satel- lite and on Earth Considerable interest has been aroused in the scientific world by the recent explorations of Alaska’s Glacier Priest, the Rev. B. R. Hubbard, S. J, who will lecture Friday evening in the Oatholic Parish Hall here on “The Volecanic Wnders of the Alaska Peninsula.” It has long been a subject of controversy as to whether the large spots visible with an ordinary tele- scope on the neighboring satellite, the moon, are craters made by, the impact of bodies in space OF of volcanic origin like the craters on this aerth. Father Hubbard, who is at home in general science as well as in his specialty, geologly, has compar- ed several craters of the moon with the Aniakchak crateg on the Alaska Peninsula and has found such a remarkable similarity to cause him to lean toward the theory that the huge moon craters, some of- which exceed 75 miles in diam-| eter, were made by volcanic agen-| cies, rather than by impact of bodies in space. | A remarkable motion picture of the craters of the moon will be shown during the course of Fath- er Hubbard’s lecture Friday even- ing. During his talk, scientific interest will be blended with thrill- | ing adventure in portrayal of the, explorations of himself and his| {little student band on the Alaska' !

Powerful | apparatus will be installed here so that reliable contact under all con- ditions with Ketchikarf and thence, to Seattle, and also between Ju-! neau and the control station at Anchorage will be assured. i “Upon completion of the Federal bullding at Juneau” he wrote, “tests will be made thereat to de- termine the quality of radio recep- tion and the possibilities of receiv- ing as well as controlling trans- mitters from that building. Should reception prove unsatisfactory, it will be necessary to establish the receiving station outside of the city and at least five miles from the transmitter station. “The possibilities of installing the receiving station on Douglas Island near the city of Douglas have been considered and it is possible that such location might prove satisfactory. In the location of stations outside the city of Ju- neau, it would be desirable that the stations be located conveni- ently with respect to existing power lines.” The local transmitter will beé of 50 kilowatt capacity, if the control station is located at Ketchikan. If it is located here it will be of 125 kilowatts. It is possible that a fair- ly complete radio survey of Ju- neau and vicinity will be made by an engineer of the Signal Corps early next Spring,” he concluded. Air Mail Resolution The Chamber today adopted a resolution urging the early estab- lishment of air mail service be- tween Southeast Alaska and Se- attle.

A letter was received from the Seattle branch of the American Osteopaths Association announcing that organization would hold its annual convention in Seattle next summer. A special tour to Alaska is planned and information about local points of industry was de- sired. The excursion will reach here August 13. The Chamber was requested by the Christian -Science Monitor to furnish pictures of local industries and scenery.

To this club was turned over the matter of improvements to the Capitol grounds. It will take a year or more to present this sub- ject and longer than that to ob- tain action. As the club is a con- tinuing body, it was believed it could handle the subject better than a committee subject to an- | nual re-organization. During the past week, the Sec- retary's office has received and answered 86 requests for informa- tion about Alaska. Most of them desired data on homesteading op- portunities, Secretary Walmsley re- ported. ——————— The biennial legislative banquet F. G. Betts is at the Gastineau.
