EL PADRE DEL NIEVE
Bernard R. Hubbard, S. J., has won the merited title of “Father
of the Snows” in his years of Alaska travel and famous exploratioins of
glaciers and volcanoes. As usual, throughout the winter months, he
has been delivering lectures in the larger cities of the United States
which are of inestimable value in their presentation of the marvels and
scenic wonders of Alaska. Possibly no theme has so gripped and held
the attention of the public than the volcanic chain on the Alaska Pen
insula. With motion pictures, Father Hubbard has brought to his
audiences, things for which millions crave but of which few are able
to avail themselves.
His return at this time when his favorite volcanoes out Westward
have a rival in Mount Shishaldin, warns us that we are in for another
series of entertaining thrills as well as a fund of inestimable knowledge
of Vulcan when his forge is casting sparks.
It is fortunate that the nation possesses such men as Father Hub
bard. It was through his prototypes of history that the portals of
.earning were thrown open to the world and civilization was enriched
with knowledge which has been the stepping stone to the pinnacle of
world enlightenment casting its glow over mankind.
WHERE IS THIS PUBLIC SERVANT?
Out Westward, where men are men and most women don’t care,
there is a capable Bureau of Indian Affairs man by the name of Hun
nicutt. For years past, we have heard of Hunnicutt’s many activities
in building school houses at various points in Alaska, but for several
months he seems to have dropped out of sight
Perhaps Hunnicutt is up to his eyebrows economically building more
school houses for Uncle Samuel. We are inquisitive as to his where
abouts and activities for one reason only: we desire to continue to fol
low his interesting Alaska career and progress.
Up to approximately 50 years ago, a college graduate who had fol
lowed his calling long enough, could get his Master’s degree by asking
Iot it, at the expense of a postage stamp. Probably many who got the
degree in that way, and many who have received it since by more la
borious methods, are willing to admit by this time that being a Master
of Arts, or a Master of something else, has a practical value of about
two cents.

PRIMITIVE ESKIMOS
FOUND Bl WOMIN
WEIFORE WORKER
An Eskimo tribe which still lives
in the "stone age” and with a "cul
ture” more primitive than even tho
natives on St. Lawrence Island, in
the Bering Sea, has been discovered
by Miss Marjory B. Major.
Miss Major, a nurse and specialist
in child health and welfare of the j
medical service of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs, said she encoun
tered the tribe in Southwestern Al
aska while on a "mission of mercy”
to influenza-stricken natives.
Accompanied by Dr. W. A. Bor
land and a guide, she visited five
villages and came upon the Tik
chik tribe, which had left its cus- ,
tomary mountain haunt in an ef
fort to shake off the influenza and
had settled in a temporary village
on the Tikchik River.
Every member had suffered
greatly from the disease, she said,
and a limited amount of dried
moose meat was the only food in
camp. They were so ill they could
not gather wood for fires or lift
their nets for fish.
Miss Major believes she is the
first white woman these natives
had seen, and until she convinced
them, through a 12-year-old inter
preter, that she was a human being,
differing mainly in pigmentation
from their women, she was not able j
to approach them.
The nurse described the Tikchiks I
as a hale and hearty tribe.
Their skin garments were sewed
with fibre. Their flint knives had
bone handles, and their dishes were
of wood, Miss Major reported.
Following a devastating service,
last week’s gruelling ping-pong
tournament was won by Don Shell
horn, the sports reporter has
learned.

RETURNS FROM BRISTOL BAY
Pilot Frank Dorbandt, of the Pa
cific International Airways, re
turned to Anchorage Saturday, ac
cording to word reaching Seward.
Pilot Dorbandt returned from a fur
buying trip into the Bristol Bay
country and while he was out in
that direction he took the oppor
tunity of taking a swing over to
Unimak Island and making an aer
ial survey of the active volcano.
Dorbandt said that the flight to!
Unimak Island was quite hazard- j
ous in that landing places for a I
ski-equipped plane in that area j
were few. The scarcity of snow'
in that area made landing places '
few and far between.
BARNHILL ARRIVES
Pilot H. W. Barnhill, of the Barn
hill & McGee Airways, flew into
Seward this forenoon from An
chorage with two passengers, Capt. j
Heinie Berger and Douglas Corliss, |
of Nenana. Barnhill took off from j
the Seward field again at 1 o’clock i
for Anchorage. No passengers ac- J
companied the aviator on the re- I
turn trip.
