Illustrations

The Pacific Monthly will remain as before the most profusely illustrated magazine in America. It will publish the distinctive work of prominent Western artists, both in colors and in black and white, and its photographic illustrations of special articles will present with the utmost completeness all the aspects of the scenic West. Among the artists whose work will reproduce in color the most dramatic features of mountain, plain and coast are Xavier Martinez, Sidney H. Riesenberg, MacM. Pease, Maynard Dixon, Lute Pease and Paul De Longpre. Among the series of remarkable photographs will be those of Mr. F. H. Kiser, illustrating mountain climbing among the higher peaks of the Northwest, Mr. Herbert T. Bohlman's studies of bird life and Mr. Leon Dawson's remarkable pictures of one of the most difficult and dangerous coasts in the world. Wild animal life in Alaska as seen and photographed by Percival Nash will also be among the features of the year.

The Western Poets

The Pacific Monthly had the pleasure of introducing to the American public the singing verses of Chas. B. Clark, Jr., the author of "In Arizony" and "Bacon." Mr. Clark will write exclusively for The Pacific Monthly and every issue will have one of his poems, equal to any that have ever described the life and spirit of the Western American.

Other Western poets whose work will appear in the magazine are Grace G. Bostwic, Edwin L. Sabin, Porter Garnett, Wex Jones, Ernest Bross and Adelaide Wilson.
