The most important mountain peaks
back Of Skagway and along the range
which marks the international boundary
line have oeen named in honor of distn-
guished public men of the United States

and opposite the point where the incom-
ing vessels swing around and give to the
tourist "a full view of Skagway has been
named Carter mountain, in honor of Sem

AZ the head of the American side of the
high joint commission, charged with set
Ting the boundary dispute.
Next comes Gnome mountain as IL

the human profile of Titanic proportions
which forms Its crest. The new name
chosen is the Sphinx. and with this dis
tinctiye name TO call attention to its pecu-
liar form, It may become as famous as
any mountain natural feature in the
world

way harbor is Mount Dewey, a towering
peak. 1t was named in honor of tho hero
