GLACIER PRIEST HELPS
ARMY IN ALASKA PLANS
SANTA CLARA, Calif. f/P) —
■ equipment d veloped by the Rev.
Bernard R. Hubbard, S. J., in
j many years of exploring the Far
North —such as packs for dogsj
that enable the animals to carry!
j sixty-five pounds all day “and I
j still wag their tails”—has caught,
the eye of the Army.
T!ie famed Alaska explor .r has!
offered the Army his specially j
bred pack dogs and new light j
weight equipment for use in de
fense of the Far Northern front
i r, and Army officers are show-j
ing keen interest.
65-Pound Load for Dog
The dog pack was developed
on the “Glacier Priest’s” last ex
pedition. The paok is slung across
the dog’s back and is cinched
with breast and belly straps. A
load of 65 pounds—equivalent of
a soldier's full pack—can be div
ided into bags on each side.
“A dog can carry 65 pounds
comfortably all day and still wag
his tail,” the Santa Clara Univer
sity geologist said.
On Father Hubbard’s Alaska ;
trips each of his six or seven i
dogs carries 2,000 feet or so of1
| motion picture film.
' Army officers, among them Col. |
H. L. Whit;, of the Ninth Corps I
Area headquarters and several!
from the Quartermaster Corps. |
were advised by Father Hub- ’
bard to use pack dogs exclusive-1
; ly in Alaska in place of sleds.
"A dog can swim and climb,”
i he point d. “Any place a man can
i go. a dog will follow. But you’re
I stuck with a sled when the going
gets rough.”
Father Hubbard has developed
a blue-:yed pack dog which has
strains of bull-dog, wolf and New
foundland. They’re raised in a
ranch near Chico, Calif., by the
xplorer’s brother, Capt. John
Hubbard, U. S. A., retired. The
priest has offered these to the
: Army for Arctic work.
| Among other equipment devel
1 oped by the “Glacier Priest” ar:
alpaca-lined jackets of a light,
weatherproof fabric for use by
United States soldiers, trousers
of waterproof linen lined with
kapok, fawnskin boots and a
stormproof tent that sleeps eight
and weighs but nine pounds.
The ensemble emphasizes
warmth, strength and lightness.

SAILING IS OFF
Finding that damage to the
steamship Mount McKinley,
which ran aground April 19 in !
Wrangell Narrows, was more ex- i
tensive than had at first been .s-'
timated, the Alaska Steamship
Company cancelled the ship’s
scheduled May 15 northward sail
ing.
Since all available vessels of
the line’s fl -et are in service, no |
substitution will be made, officers
of the company said.
The Mount McKinley now is
at the Todd Drydocks, where she
must remain for twenty-five days
for extensive r pairs to her hull,
including the replacement of
steel plates. Officers of the com
pany said it will require twenty
two working days to complete
the work.
The vessel stranded on shoals
in Wrangell Narrows the night of
April 19 with 200 passengers
aboard, and was pulled off the
following day by the Coast
lock, th n proceeded to Juneau
and returned to Seattle.
Proof of Labor Blanks can now
be had at. the Nome Nugget office
Father Hubbard considers Al
aska America's most easily defen
siblc frontier because of its vio
lent weather, rugged terrain and
other hazards to invasion. He
plans to return to Alaska next
month to check on Army and sub
marine bases for the government.
