They say Father Hub bard is just as enthusiastic about the surroundings of Juneau now as he was when he was here prosecuting his work. Dr. ani Mrs. Pigg returned from the south this week.
 He. has been doing tremend- ous amount of advertising for this section, particularly in places where it will attract the atten- tion of travellers and those inter- ested in mountain and glacial scenery. He not only uses the great collection of pictures he made in this region in his class ss, Che is professor of geology at Santa Clara College), but he has turned copies of all the pictures over to the P. and A. syndicate which is getting them in roto graveur sections of newspapers and magazines all over the world Father Hubbard recently sold profusely illustrated article on his Alpine experiences to the Ma tional Geographical Magazine, which will appear in an early is- sue of that publication, and he has accepted a commission to pre- pare an article on Alaska glaciers in this vicinity, based on his trips and investigation here in which his pictures will be used.
 He has delivered a number of lectures outside of his school In California. using his pictures as lantern slides to illustrate them. Mrs. Pigg attended lecture he delivered to 800 people at the State College of Teachers at San Jose, and says it made a tra- mendous hit. He told his auditors that Juneau should become the center for glacier and mountain climbing because there is no sec tion of the world that offers greater interest or more acces- sible opportunities. He said that the Mendenhall Glacier presents all the interesting features, adapt able to every degree of ice tech nique, that may be found in any glacial section. and offers addi- tional attractions with it's i'm pounded lakes, pre-glacial forest, Mendenhall River cavern, ice. falls and other attractions.
 Tribute to Alaskans
 Father Hubbard told Dr. and Mrs. Pigg that he wants to de- vote some time next summer to exploring the country between Taku and Lake Atlin with Capt. William, Strong and to climb the boundary mountains, the Bears Paws, and other peaks with Jack Koby. He said that he would walk to the North Pole with Jack Koby; consider him one of the finest and bravest men ever met; Juneau cannot be grate- full enough to men of the type or Capt. Strong and Jack Koby. By dint of hard work, hardship and sacrifice they are opening up country which eventually is bound to become known to the outside world"
