Chief Tom Riggs, in charge of
he I'nited States party of Che
International boundary survey, ar
rived in Skagway on Saturday, and
left today for the south on the
Steamship Spokane.
Mr. Riggs has with him eleven
of his party, being the remainder of
the party he has had iu the field
this season.
The work of demarking Cncle
Sam's possessions north of "Fifty
four-twenty" is now complete, and
there remains but the numbering of
?. few of the monuments yet to be
done, and for all timfr to come
there can be no question as to
"which is which."
As predicted in this paper at the
time when Mr. Riggs left for the
field of action this spring that it
was his intention to take a "dip" in
to the icy waters of the Arctic
Ocean proved to be a true prognos
tication, fo-* on the 4th o' July, to
fittingly celebrate the completion of
I he longest straight line ever made
in the world. Chief Tom took a
header into the billows. When ask
ed as to how he enjoyed his cold
l>ath, lie stated that while the sen
sation was great, a little was as
good as a feast, and he preferred
the temperature of his tub just a
few degrees higher.
"While the party in the fieH
next season will not be as large as
heretofore," said Mr. Riggs, "there
will be enough pass through Skag
way to let the people know that
the 'Boundary boys have come
up.* "

magistrate was received, and acted
upon, the resignation being accept
ed. The name of H. J. Lynch was

job of looKing after the city's ca3h
and settling all disputes and con
troversies which might come before
the town magistrate.
-Mr. Britt, in resigning, gave as
his reason for so doing the fact
that his business would take him
from Skagway a considerable por
tion of the time, and he therefore
could not give the matters of t!ie
joint office of treasurer and muni
cipal magistrate the time that they
required.

DAVIS HANGS PICTURES
OF MIDNIGHT SUN
The wonderfully beautiful color
effects which distinguish the moun
tain scenery of Alaska are repro
duced in a hundred variations in
the oil paintings by Leonard M.
Davis, oil exhibition at the Arctic !
Club. Mr. Davis spent six years
in the Northern country, during
which time he produced a large
number of landscape paintings which
met with a flattering reception in
the art centers of Eastern Ameri
ca. With the exception of a few
smaller paintings, the exhibit at the
1 Arctic Clu'j is confined to moun
tain, water and sky studies. Many
of them are almost startling in
their vividness of coloring, repro
ducing effects which almost have
to be seen to be believed, says the
Seattle P.-I.
The most striking pictures in the
collection are those showing the ef
fects of the midnight sun of the
Arctic summers, and some wonder
ful contrasts in light and shadow
are presented. Another feature of
the exhibition is the peculiar foliage
of the Alaska mountain sides, re
produced very effectively in a num
ber of the paintings.
Mr. Davis was a student at the
Kcole des Beaux Arts, at Paris, ]
taking lessons under Benjamin Con
stant, Paul Laurens and other ac
table artists. He returned to New
York in 1896, exhibiting with sui'- I
cess at the Academy of Design and |
becoming recognized as a painter of |
mark. He went to Alaska in 1898,
traveling up the Yukon river. He '
remained in the North for ulx I
years and since that time has spent |
his winters in New York, exhibiting |
at the various academies. He is a
member of the lecture staff of the '
board of education, of New York |
City, and a member of the National |
Arts Club I
