Summary:"Glacier Priest" Will Hunt Tracks. "Glacier Priest" Will Hunt Tracks Seattle, June 27.—UP)—Father Bernard R. Hubbard, the "glacier priest," faced toward the far northern wilderness today in search of dinosaur tracks. An Indian legend of huge tracks left in the rock by a prehistoric bear, "the largest that ever lived," lured the Santa Clara, Cal., univer-, sity priest on his tenth expedition into Interior Alaska and the Northwest Territories. Father Hubbard explained that if the tracks were found "somewhere in the region of the Inktin river and eastward" he believed they would prove to be those made by giant reptiles in forgotten ages.
