DIIU HOME
l.nst evening about twenty-five in
vlte?T xuest.B assembled at the home
of Mr. anil Mrs O. I,. ?lck?on to
on Joy an exhibition of the recent
sketches made by the eminent artiat
i.eoimrd M!. Davia.
About seventy sketches of scenes
along the Yukon River and the W.
P. ? ^ Route, lu the Atlln district,
through Lake I*?Barge, Skagway an
Lynn canal were shown. The artist
called them sketches, but to us they
ippeared na finished pictures of the
highest type Those pictures were
made t while the artist was traveling
on train and In lake and river boats
Made In ft-om three to five minutes
each, with, nearly the rapidity, and a
thousand times more beautiful than
by photographic processes. One of
the marvelous features of the work
of Mr. Davis Is that he has discard
ed brushes entirely In the productlo
i of his paintings, but uses Instead a
! ste*?| palette knife, such as other
[ artists uiie in mixing their paints,
j With this instrument he depict* on
canvas tlie most delicate tints, and
; wonderful effects of lights and shad
ows Mountains, valleys, streams,
lakes, and all the colorings of cloud
And glacier are caught by his mas
ter hand, and not painted, but ?m
oossed with steel upon his canvas
It is a process all his own, a con
ception which must ultimately revo
lutionize modern systems of plctnre
portrayal,
As one after another of his
scenes were presented, they were
instantly recognised by those famil
iar with the district*. Many of the
pictures -they were more than sket
ches when grouped together, fur
nished hn unbroken panorama of
lakes, forests and streams, with love
lines* unsurpassed.
To Mr Davis, through fhe cour
tesy of Mr. -nd Mrs Dlckeson, the
guests of last evening feel a high
sense of appreciation of the enjoy
ment glVen them. Mr. Davi* ha*
visited Alaska and the Yukon for
many years and maintains a studio
in New York where his beautiful
productions are shown. Today he
has gont> to Denver glacier to sketch
one of the most wonderful scenic ef
fects In Alaska.

The water wu deeper and more
violent thin he had anticipated and
h#s*oon lost his balance and fell In.
Then Uie struggle or life began.
The cufrent carried him down strean
for half a mile and when nearly ex
hausted h- was thrown up against
the roots of an old snag to which he
held fast. Here he rested until re
gaining strength and finally reached
the shore. His brother in the
meantime had gone down the stream
by a round about way, expecting at
the best to find only the de?d body
of Mr. Coburn, but fortunately he
found him alive.
When he fell Into the water, Mr.
Coburn had a pack of nearly three
hundred films of photographic
scene* they had taken of the beau
ties around the Atlln country. These
were all lost including a *200 caraeat
His watch, which filled with wafer,
