CAPTAIN HUBR|CK TALKS OF CAME
 IN THE EAST

Among the visitors to Rochester last week was Captain J. P. Hubrick. of Mccarthy, Alaska. This town is 200 miles in the interior of Alaska, at the head of Copper river. Three of the richest copper mines in the world are said to be in this region.
 Captain Hubrick is a guide and hunter in Alaska He is known to practically every hunter of big game of the west. He is a contributor to the magazine Outdoor Life. Although Captain Hubrick is a hunter and guide he endeavors to preserve the animal life. He loves the animals. no mat ter how small or how big. This is not to be wondered at when it is said that he has lived outdoors the great CT part of his life. He knows the habits of the birds as well as the bears, on which he is considered an authority. Some of his specimens of bears are on exhibition at the Smith sonian Institute in Washington. He keeps in close touch with that institu- tion' and furnishes it with much ;n- formation as well as specimens.
 Hunts with Camera.
 One of the things that plays an inn portant part in the routine of Captain Hubrick is the camera. He takes many photographs of bears, moose, Alaskan mountain sheep and goats, caribou, black porcupines, and other animals that inhabit that region. No one knows

the land in that vicinity better than Captain Hubrick. He has a large col lection of souvenirs and photographs of many an interesting hunting expe- dition.
 In his photographic work, Captain Hubrick got to the point where scien- tific photography is a necessity, and having written to the Eastman NO. dak company about some of the techni- calities, was told that if he came to Rochester he would be shown any thing he wanted to know about taking and finishing pictures The interest that Captain Hubrick has taken in photography is manifested in his state ment that he came all the way from Mccarthy, Alaska, to spend q few days with the Eastman Kodak com pany in his endeavor to learn more about snapping and developing Of pie lures. Rochester is the furthest east that Captain Hubrick has ever been.
 Brown Bear Protected.
 Captain Hubrick lived for a time in Colorado, where he was brought up He said that Outdoor Life is helping him to great extent to protect the wild life of Alaska The Alaskans have a great brown bear that Cap tain Hubrick says is an over-grown grizzly. He said that although this bear is feroctous, and it's meat not good to eat, it is protected, whereas the harmless black bear has no pro lection He claimed that in the last eight years five men have been kill ed and eight men injured by the brown bear. He said that there is an open and closed season in Alaska and that strict rules governing the taking of game are in observance.
 Captain Hubrick said that on an American license a person may take one moose, three sheep, two caribou,

Alaska Full of Game.

The Alaskan hunter and guide was too modest to speak of his experiences, but said that he never had bear chase him He declared that to know what hunting expedition for big game was like one must go through the ac- tual experience He said that at the present time there was all the game in Alaska that one could wish for. He had with him huge moose and cari- bou hoofs that had been taken from animals brought down by him.
 Captain Hubrick has guided large number of prominent men on success full hunting trips.

In cooperation with the War De-
partment, the leather and paper lab
oratory of the Bureau of Chemistry
has arranged for wearing tests of
shoe leather to be made by regi-
ment or less number of soldiers in

shoes manufactured, and they are to
be issued to regiment that is to be
designated by the War Department.

kinds of sole leather, sole-leather sub
stitutes, and materials for uppers
are to be tested. 1t is expected that
the wearing test will last six months.
