For some time there has been rumor afloat that an artistically illus trated weekly journal is to be publish ed ou the Pacific coast, and now, to our great surprise, it takes definite form In .n announcement by the publisher of tint West Shore that he will issue the rrst number of such a journal on the J i:h of September. Fifteen years ago Mr. Baniucl began the publication in ! or'.lanu of a teeoic monthly paper vbioh has steadily grown until it has reached the proportions of the hand some West Shore Magazine as we know it to-day, and now he takes a bold.step forward and establishes a weekly journ al which Mill be maintained at the the country. It will require the ex- iiditure of much money and labor to nider the venture successful; but tho ft'ct Shore, with its splendid cquip- incut, long experience and established position, will be able to succeed where moot others would fail. Special atten tion will be given to graphic illustra tions of events happeningou the Pacllic coast, and thu topics of special interest to our people. Its numerous and ex cellent illustrations will bo its chief feature, and these will increase iu number as the journal becomes settled ia its groove. Such an undertaking certainly recommends itself very high- ly to every citizen, and its success will lj a direct benefit to every section of ,'tlio west. The price will be 10 cents a eopj or $4 00 a year.

Monta- Some Experiences of a Surveying Party Nineteen Lost Timber-Orab-ber A Large Couger, We left Whlteomb, a new place about two and one-half miles up in Big Bot tom, Wednesday, Aug. 28, and pro ceeded dowM the trail until we struck a spur or backbone that extends from Green Peter to tho South Santium river in a north-easterly direction, and proceeded up this spur carrying all our camping outfit and provision on our backs until wo reached the corner of section thirty-three, where we campod for the day, leaviug on nf the party iu camp, while the others proceeded to examine the soil, timber and topogra phy of the section, nothing of uuy note out of the ordiuajy occurring that day, but on the day following wo moved to 81 and proceeded to examine aaid sec tion the sanio as 33, when one of the surveyors' while running a line through some thick brush, disturbed a very large couger, which proceeded to leis urely walk away, lashing its tail and looking anything but pleasant, said surveyor not wishing to disturb him allowed him to escape, after which he had not proceecded over 100 yards before he jumped ten deer which the couger had been stalking. Another one of the party had jumped six deer the same day. After the day's work was done we proceeded to camp and partook of a repast of canned corned beef and death balls, after which we lit our pipes and were feeling quite con tented laying around the Are when we were disturbed by a couger call, which was repeated at intervals until we were asleep in our blankets around a bright tire, the cook laying beside a log, ou the oilier side of which was bursh. About twelve o'clock the cook was conscious of tho presence of something in camp and that the fire was about nut, but just then a small stick fell into the fire and a blaze shot up, which scared the ani mal, causing It to step ou the cook, then on tho log, disappearing over It Into the brush. The cook says he didn't have any desire to stop him or tveu to raise his hat or look him in the In l ... . .. I I I duuii viiret- ijuurivrs, u nv ciuilllS he was a full crown couirer. IuiIlHiil' from his weight. In the morning the cook had scarce ly risen to cook breakfast when he heard a doleful call of something iu the far distance, and the cook having plen ty of spare breath to waste, let out one of his whoops which, much to his ur prise, was answered in not quite so doleful a manner. Presently Mr. aiarie, a timber claim locator, came into camp pale ana haggard, followed by 19 men, who were straggling nlong for at least a mlJe back. As soon us they got in camp they said they had been lost for two days and had had nothing to eut but one potato and a bite of ham apiece, that Marie had obtained J25 apiece from them to defray expenses, and was starving them in order to ae- nicumulatc funds for himself at the expense of their stomachs, and that they also had to give him their note for 75 for every one he located. Now to tell you the plain facts, this man Marie clasms.to have surveyed this whole country, to know overy trail in it and also to know every piece of vacant land, but the facta are, he was completely lost with a compass in his pocket, was traveling in the course to bring tip in the btg deadening on McDowell creek, had passed hi, camp one-half mile to the south-east and had 19 men from Portland, unused to hardships who, when they reached our camp, were so played out they could not, over half of them, stood it to get out the wav the were going. Now my advice to parties wishing to look after locations is to keep their money iu their pockets and come out and spend a week in our country, und not pay Mr. Marie or any other bilk to show thorn land which thev have al ready shown a time or two and which U already published in Home paper.
