C., the property of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt. { The first canves, depicting Mount McKinley were sent by Beymer to! Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond after alighting at Alameda from a 3,387 world’s non-stop record for seaplanes. The big craft, commanded by and carrying a crew of five others, made the flight in 34 hours and 51 minutes.

Another picture of Mount McKin- lley was taken to the Smithsonian Institution this summer by Federal Mediator John N. Carmody, who was also in Cordova. Carmody purchased for himself a smaller canvas depict- ing the same scene. Rugged and Bcautiful Beymer travelled west from Tal- keetna by pack train last August to Cache Creek and Peters Creek, in order to paint Mount McKinley from the South. From that direction the famous peak is “rugged and differ- :nt and beautiful,” he said. He stat- 3d that the Alaska Road Commis- don has constructed 24 miles of highway straight west from Tal- keetna and it is only a question of fime until tourists will be able to view Mount McKinley from that an- sle. “Mount McKinley Park is the randest national park on earth,” 3aymer stated. . While in the Peters Creek hills, Seymer renewed his sketches and 1pon his return to Anchorage in 3eptember finished a large canvas—— V'by 10 feet—which was left in An- horage. That picture will some ay, perhaps, be hunz in the Na- fonal Capitol Building at Washing- on, D. C. During the fall of 1932, Beymer ketched Mendenhall and Taku Gla- iers and the Tulsequah river dis- rict.

In Canada Beymer met the English artist Collins, who had been commissioned by London art dealers to paint Canadian subjects. After | working with Collins all summer, Beymer went to London with him| and studied for a year at the Royal Art Academy. In 193¢ Beymer won eight prizes in a London art exhibit. Canvasses by Beymer are hung in “he homes of many Alaskans, includ- ing Gov. John W. Troy, B. M. Beh- rends, and E. A. Rasmussen of Skagway. A picture of Mount Black-, burn in the St. Elias Range is the property of Dr. Bateman of Harvard University. To Paint Mt. Logan Beymer has taen commissioned by | Guy Lambert of the Canadian Geo- detic Survey, to paint a picture of Mount Logan to be hung in the Cap- itol Building at Ottowa. After a visit in Juneau of about two weeks, Beymer expects to sail for the States where he will attend the San Diego Exposition.
