tains, and the Indians have no par
ticular cause to 60 there.
II am convinced there is some
truth in the story Of the tracks. In
this was borne out by an Oxford
graduate I encountered on one Of my
trips to the interior.
HE had settled as far from civiliza-
ton as possible because he liked the
solitude. He said he had learned
the Indian legends Of the country
were almost all based on some fact"
Boat to Be Unsinkable.
The boat which Father Hubbard
will use next Spring will be 80 feet
long of a stainless steel six times
the tensile strength of ordinary steel.
The seams will be welded and the
double bottom is to be equipped with
many compartments to make the
boat unsuitable. Father Hubbard
has been testing various types Of
metal for years.
The dogs will be taken along to
carry their 50-pound packs. Over
rough country, where sleds are out
of the question, the dogs are equipped
with saddle packs and carry half as
much weight as their masters.
Father Hubbard Is following q
strenuous speaking program in an
effort to keep up with last years rec
ord, which he believes breaks all pre-
vious marks. Last year Father Hub
bard addressed 286,000 persons in
258 lectures during 237 consecutive
days He hopes to tie this record
again this year, before leaving for a
breathing spell in Europe in April.

An Indian legend Of line Of great
tracks" which some prehistoric mon
ster left in the stone Of the Barrier
Mountains will lure Father Bernard
H. Hubbard back to his favortte
glacier country when Spring breaks
up the ice in Alaskas inland water
ways.
The glacier priest" said yesterday
that from year to year, in various
sections of the mountains, he has
heard the Indians refer to the tracks,
regularly spaced, printed with claw
marks and extending hundred years
across the ice and rock-capped sum-
init of mountain near the Canadian
border.
In Father Hubbards party of four
veterans of many previous exploring
trips to Alaska will be new addi-
ton this year-17-year-old John
(Bud) Dimond, student at st. Johns
Military Academy and son of Anthony
j. Dimond, Alaskan Delegate to Con-
gress.
Father Hubbard, who lectured here
yesterday at Gonzaga Theater, 49 I
street, today asked young Dimond's
father If his son could make the trip.
Can ile," replied Dimond. well.
I'd like to see you keep that boy from
1t, now that you've invited him"
Young Dimond, a native of Alaska,
is no greenhorn, although this will
be his first trip with the glacier
priest"
To Use Steel Launch.
Father Hubbard will seek to find
the source of the persistent legend
when he goes up the Taku River in
q steel "fool-proof" launch with his
companions and his four husky dogs.
The tracks. evidently those of a
dinosaur, or some prehistoric type of
elephant, are said to lie near the ice
cap in a section rarely visited by In
dians because of the danger and the
evil reputation which haunts the
place. The Indians call it "Sith
Klummu Gutta," or THE Spirits
Home" and, according to their stories,
mo man can cross it alive"
'The Indians, however" Father
Hubbard smiled, ''are not equipped
as we are for mountain climbing on
icy slopes. We wear shoes with spikes
an inch and half long, and we've
had experience in Alpine work. There
is no game that high on the noun

Soon we thought we could see
 telephone poles along the shore
 and some cabins. After a time
 we were sure about the poles and then we began to speculate as to
 where we might be. 1 know l said we were down the coast be- low Bluff, near Chinik. Now 1 knew that the telephone poles did not go below Bluff, and yet
 somehow, 1 was sure that they did. As we got closer in to the shore l was sure that we must be near a deserted Indian village. because if it was a town where were the white men they would see us and come to help. But no one came near us, and after a while we succeeded in getting clear of the lead to shore. The sweetest sound ever heard was that dory crunching on the grav- el. We sent the captain and en- gineer up toward the cabin While tying up the boat a flood of light came over me and I knew where I was as well as if I were standing on Mosier's corner. l turned to Greenwood and said, This is Solomon, and we are on the east side of the river and can't see the town We had tied the dory to the railroad track and hadn't seen it. He said, Yes I guess so.' Had I said it was New Orleans and ov- CT there is the Statue of Liberty in Lincoln Park, by the Eads bridge l would have had the same response
 We had been talking about natives helping us when we got on shore and with that in mind the captain and engineer started up the railroad track. Gordon Shea was keeping a roadhouse then in Solomon, and he had been watching us in the boat for some time through field glasses, and had concluded we were h. dians, as we were black as neg roes. He came over to us to see if they had heard any news of us and when he met Captain Storey he did not know him. He spoke to Storey and asked him where he was going and Storey said l am looking for a native village I am all froze up and hungry and I want them to take care of me- Wont a white man do?
