PROSPECTIVE BIDDER
 ON GOVT. BLDG. HERE

Representing the William Me- Donald Construction Company, St. Louis, Mo, Frank L. Fuller arrived in Juneau this morning on the Alaska. He is here to obtain in- formation regarding the Govern ment Building, local conditions as far as labor and materials are con- cerned, before rendering a bid for his company. Bids are to be opened July Is and MT. Fuller said he could see no reason why con- struction should not be started within month after that date.
 The Donald Construction Company is one of the oldest and largest of it's kind in the country and makes speciality of federal and municipal buildings. There is not one state in the Union in which they have not put at least one building, MT. Fuller said
 The policy of the Macdonald company is, to use local material and labor entirely where ever it is available, MT. Fuller said.

 Father, we cannot tell you how grateful we are for your help in showing us how to negotiate the glacier. Ice work is something new to us and after seeing you handle an ice pick and hearing your comments on the way crevasses form, we feel capable of tackling anything that comes our way this summer"

GLACIER PRIEST RETURNS FROM
 ANOTHER TRIP
Father Hubbard Has h. teresting Time with
 Survey Party

As another chapter of his unique Taku River experience, the Rev Bernard R. Hubbard, s. J., and his two University of Santa Clara stu dents, Charles Bartlett and Henry Klatt, had some thrilling exper- fences in. negotiating the huge nun atak that rises between the Twin Glaciers.
 "As it is completely surrounded by ice, considerable difficulty was experienced in starting the long two-day trek necessary to reach the summit where the triangulation station was to be placed" said Father Hubbard.
 Running the boat up the rapids of Twin Glacier River, our party of eight landed on a flat iceberg not entirely detached from the par ent glacier. Twin Glacier has re- ceded so rapidly of late that barely quarter of a mile separates the junction of the two ice masses from the mountain around which they break. This quarter of a mile is badly broken and crevassed and when we crossed it swift deep glacier river dashed between them and the land mass, impossible to cross"
 It was at this juncture that Father Hubbard whose Knowledge of glaciers and their eccentricities is internationally recognized, as- stunned the lead and ice pick in hand chopped a way into the heart of the right hand lobe of the Twin Glacier, and guided his roped party along knife-like tee ridges where dizzy crevasses over 300 feet deep fell away on either side. Ice walls were surmounted and crevas- ses jumped until after an hour and-a-half the party reached a point where the river flowed under the ice and they were able to step off on to solid land.
 "The recently glaciated rock was very slippery and the going hard said Father Hubbard, A snow choked cirque was attained and sev- eral hours of snow travel engaged in. Towards evening we reached the summit of Twin Glacier Noun tain only once before climbed by

Monte Blue, starring in Warner Bros. Vitaphone talkie, The Grey Hound Limited" was given an up- roarious welcome last night at the Coliseum Theatre.

Personally. the writer finds greater
delight in Mr.. Wales exquisite pencil

are more intimate, more permeated
with the feeling for artistic expression,
more personal than the etched works

etching that these exquisite drawings

exhibition shows progress on the part

A majority of the works shown are
recent-studies made only last Summer
abroad in we'll known places such the
Villa d'Este; Cernobbia, Como; Dale
carIia: Versailles; the Villa Borghese,
Rome; Haute Savoie, Lake Geneva. TO
some extent these works follow the
modern mode. They are strong ana
bold and simple and present their mes
sage with immediate directness. The
color used is rather heavy. but the con-
trastS of light and shade are good.
What Miss Cullen lacks in style and
subtlety she makes up in decision and
strength, and her work has the air OF
professional competency which COM
