Sourdough Artist Compares St. Elias Range with
 Swiss Alps

George Don Beymer, famous sour dough artist, who has spent the summer in Canada with the Wood Yukon Exposition, is in Juneau now planning to soon go south to Seattle.
 Coming north B years ago, MT Beymer, who studied in European art centers, was the first artist to mush in over the Broad Pass country and sketch Mount McKin- ley from the North.
 He has since painted most of AL aska's inspiring peaks, his work this summer being at Mount Nat azhat and Mt. Logan. MT Bey- mer was commissioned to paint the latter mountain by Guy Lambert of the Canadian Geodetic Survey and the painting is to hang in Ot- iowa. Earlier this summer. the AL askan artist, in a special letter to The Empire, told of the beauty of Mount Natazhat, comparing its peak to that of the Materhorn in Switzerland.
 Unsurpassed Scenery
 Filled with enthusiasm for the Elias Range Alpine country" which he declares, is absolutely unsur- passed in scenery, he nevertheless found travelling in this unpopulated country extremely difficult. To reach the Wood Expedition base camp at Teepee Lake from White horse Beymer was obliged to use three mediums, truck, lake steamer and pack horse.
 Flights in the expedition plane helped the artist greatly in obtain ing sketches of the Canadian coun- try beyond the Alaskan border, and MT. Beymer reports having obtained a full quota of oil paintings of she district, which was entirely new to him previous to this summer.
 During his stay iii Juneau. MT Beymer is stopping at the Gas tineau Hotel.

Philippine Army Is Plan- ming Three Strategic
 CenterS

MANILA, P l., Sept. 12-Philip- pine national army officials con- template the establishment of three strategic centers in the archipelago, each with 1000 soldiers ond the necessary number of officers. Other centers will be opened as they are needed.
 The first three stations will be located at Camp Murphy, Risal Province, near Manila; at Cebu, and at Parang, in the Province of Cotabato.
 Camp Murphy is sufficiently close to Manila so that soldiers could be rushed into the city, if need be, in a short time. Cebu is a center of population in the Visayas, while Parang is the center of Mindanao provinces. The latter center will be of great strategic military value in covering the southernmost islands.

BOWLING MATCHES TONIGHT PUT OFF
WASHINGTON HILL

Activities of fraternal and social organizations of Washington Hill were curtailed for the past few nights, mainly because of the nu- merous rallies which were staged in preparation for the elections, and secondly due to the untimely and accidental death of member of numerous organizations, Miss Mary K. Coughlin.
 Bowlers of the Washington Park Community Club Girls league sus- pended their schedule last night to pay their last respects to their late member, Miss Coughlin, who was buried this morning. She was killed in an auto crash Saturday night.
 St. Francis Xavier parish hall was deserted last night as the usual frequenters attended the democratic rally which was held at the home of Thomas Grady of Baldwin street. Streets of the district were bril- liantly lighted by red flares, and music of the band added a touch which distinctly denoted that the occasion was the eve of election. Usually the rally is held at the Coughlin home on South street but the sad circumstances of untimely death caused 1t to be transferred.
 The Holy Name Society cancelled it's usual Monday night "45" games last night to take part in the rally. Even the usually well attended Community House was desolate last night and no doubt will be again tonight as the Community Club Mems League of bowlers have can celled their schedule. After tonight the regular schedule of occurrences will be in sway again.
