THE MORNING OREGONIAN. MONDAY, MARCH 18, 1907. 3 AM 0 PORTLAND, OREGON That OIL and Natural GAS have been discovered in paying quantities across the Columbia River from Astoria at Oneida in Wahkiakum County, Washington, has been important enough to a number of well-known and reliable local parties to cause the organization and incorporation of the "Pacific Coast Gas and Oil Company," with capital stock of $300,000. This company has just placed a limited number of shares of stock on the market at the low price of $10.00 per share 1 President, ALEX SWEEK. THE MEN Vice President, R. A. WADE. Directors: John Nelson, Oneida, Wash. Wm. Anderson, Deep River, Wash. Geo. L. Hutchin, Portland, Or. Secretary and Treasurer, CLAYTON S. BARBER. History and Geolog ical Formation On the north bank of the Columbia River opposite the City of Astoria 3 miles up the Deep River at Oneida, Wahkiakum County, "Washington, you can find natural pas and petroleum oil escaping from the earth. This company has employed experts to make analysis of the oil and test the pas. Beyond a shadow of a doubt one of the richest fields of oil and pas in the United States lies here awaiting development. Over 3000 acres of land at this point have been leased for development purposes. The leases are considered by Eastern capitalists to be very val uable. The geological formation of the earth at this point is the same as that of the oil fields of Texas and California. A ranchman living at Oneida is using the gas for illuminating and heating purposes. The prospects will all bear the closest investigation. . A Limited Number of Shares o! Stock Now on Sale at $10.00 Per Share The recent announcement that a limited number of shares of stock at only $10.00 per share had been placed on sale has brought thousands of inquiries and a number of eager buyers. That the stock now on sale is highly indorsed as a good investment by a large number of leading business men in Portland, Seattle and other Coast cities, has prompted many buyers to begin buying the stock at once. As an investment you cannot find a better one for quick returns. Development, Geo graphical Importance The rapid and thorough development of this virgin field will commence as soon as the several carloads of machinery now en route from the East reach the property. Derricks will be erected and many wells will be driven at once.

Dallas College Has First Place Cinched Review ot First Year I of Organized Sport. The State Basketball League season ractically closed Saturday with the l;ame between Multnomah and Dallas college. One game yet remains to be (played. 1ut. as this is tetween Wll flamette and Pacific College, the stand Onff of the teams probably will not be bnuch changed. Dallas has first place icinched hard and fast, having clmbed to (the top of the heap early n the season. CBy defeating Pacific College Friday nlpht iPortland T. M. C. A. landed in third place. Multnomah started out with a rush, trut fell down early in the season and (will end the season in fourth place. Tult Snomah is the only team In the league that (defeated Dallas, but after this victory 'the) clubmen fell easy victims to nearly ievrv other team in the league. Mon mouth and Salem Y. M. C. A. are tied for the cellar championship, but both had very weak teams this season. Taken as a whole, the first year of organized basketball has proven very suc cessful in Oregon. While mistakes have been made, the teams, that make up the league this year will profit by their ex perience. One difficulty that the league has had to contend with is the securing of competent ar.d Impartial officials. Two mcinls will be used next season instead of one. and in this manner it is hoped to eliminate most of the unnecessary roughness that characterized many of the games plaved this season. While the Oregon Agricultural College hoys claim the championship of the state, It is hardly probable that public opinion win bear them out in their claims. There Is no denying the fact that the "Farm ers" have a strong team, probably as strong ats any In the state, but their ab solute refusal to come into the league lias prevented their meeting any of the trong teams. The "Aggies" won nearly every game while on their Northern tour last Winter, but Dallas lias met defeat only once, and hns played the very best teams in the Suite of Oregon. When the league was formed it was greed that the winners of the champion ship should ignore the claims of the "Farmers" to championship honors, and should refuse to play them. Therefore, It Is not probable that Dallas and O. A. C will meet for a championship series this season. The local T. M. C. A. basketball t-nm will leave today for Winlock. Wash., where they -Rill play the Win lock Club tonight. From Winlock the Portland team will go to Snohomish, where they play a second game Tuesday right. On Wednesday they will meet the strong Y. SI. C. A. team of Westmin ster, B. C. and will play the same team a second game Friday night. Thursday the team plays the Vancouver B. C.) team, and on Saturday night the last game of the series will be played with Victoria Y. M. C. A. The team will re turn home Sunday morning. Those who will make the trip are Will Kusseil.

Eleven men from the sounding deep, old-time association football players, whose lot Is now cast with the British hips Woodford. Xola, Agapaathus. Ay- merie and Quito, struggled bravely but vainly against a team from the Portland Associated Football Clubs Saturday aft ernoon, losing by 6 goals to 1. The sail ors were heavy and strong, but, of course, were handicapped by the lack of "land legs," training and of practice. The citys team was made up principally from the English and Scotch elevens, which have been, fighting for the city championship for several weeks. Dr. Short, house surgeon at the Good Samar itan Hospital, and at one time right halfback for the University of Toronto Medical Football Team In the famous Toronto Inter-College League, appeared for tho first time in uniform in Portland, playing a splendid game. Dr. Short is strong, aggressive and accurate, and a decided acquisition to local Scotch ranks. The city forwards played well together. A hundred odd enthusiasts, half women. THREE REPRESENT M.I.A.C. SMITH, DItAXGA ANT) HUGHES GOING TO SPOKANE, Will Uphold Club's Prestige In Northwest Boxing and Wrestling Tournament at Spokane. Charles French, Multnomah's 135-pound boxer, will not represent the club In the Northwest boxing and wrestling tourna ment at Spokane, March 20. In his place to the Northwest tournament. Hughes is a whirlwind at his weight and in the recent Spokane-Multnomah meet defeated Stansbury, of Spokane, with ease. Acton and Frank have both been teaching Hughes the fine points of the game and It Is said that he has greatly improved since his last performance. Boxing Instructor Fred Rennick will manage the boys on the trip and will take persona! charge of their training while at Spokane. His presence In the Multnomah corner will go a long way toward instilling confidence In the Port land representatives. Los Angeles Gets Smith. Smith and Flood figured in a trade that Manager McCredle made with Los An geles in lifS. When the season opened last year.

The billiard and poo! tables of the Portland Commercial Club have been moved into the new parlor. When everything is arranged the Commercial Club will boast one of the finest bil liard parlors in the city. The club now has seven billiard and eight first-class pool tables. Charles L.

Take Eellwood or Oregon City car, star tins from First and Alder streets. n I. Smith, a 125-pound wrestler, will be sent. In his palmy days French was one of the hardest hitters and best boxers In his class but apparently has lost all interest in the game since he was de feated by Joe Stingle, of Spokane. In this contest French was in no condition, besides having a badly sprained hand. The result was that he was put out in the second round. It is not probable that he will ever again represent Mult nomah In the squared circle. Smith won the Novice tournament at the club last Fall and has proved himself a comer. Bdgar Frank has been training Mm for several months with the result that he is now considered the best 125 pound wrestler In the club with the exception of Frank. He is cool, power ful and knows nearly every trick in the business. Smith should be able to make a strong showing for the Northwest championship. Dranga, who is the only boxer who will be sent by the club. Is already down to weight and In the pink of condition. In previous contests he has usually boxed at 133, but is Just as strong at 125. Spo kane adherents expect Carabln to win the tournament in a walk, but he will have to show more speed, generalship and all around science than he exhibited in his fight with Nicken if he lands a wallop that will send Dranga down for the count. Carabin is not the boxer that Dranga is. although he is a hard hitting, nervy teoxer. Bud Hughes. 115-pound wrestler, is the other Multnomah man who will be sent deal and when he found he could not, knowing all the time that McCredie was in desperate straits for his services, he would not report until he had forced Man. ager McCredle to come through for a big tilt on his monthly pay check. The local management needed Smith's services so badly that the raise was given and Smith Joined the team. Even after getting the money he had asked for. Smith never played the ball that he had for Los An geles. He knew he had the whip hand over McCredie and took advantage of It. McCredle waited. When it came time to send out the contracts. Smith got one that called for less money than he per haps ever secured for playing ball since he graduated from the bush leaguer ranks. Smith must have been jolted when he got the contract, for right away the Angel management began making overtures for Smith's services. From the amount of salary offered Smith It was clear that McCredie did not want Smith, So Los Angeles tried to coax the McCre dles into loaning them the third base man. When this failed, they asked the local moguls to set a price oni Smith. This was done and the deal was closed. Mannger Mac can buy a good youngster with the purchase price. . .

Scorn Salaries Offered by Manager McCredie Both Will Remain With Stockton Team. STOCKTON, Cal., March 17. (Special. ) When questioned this afternoon Pat Donahue, the Portland catcher of last season, said that he had nothing: further to eay tJian that he would not discuss matters with -Manager McCredie until the latter came to his terms on the money question. Xonahue wrote McCredie his flg-uree and as he has never been offered anywhere near the amount, Donahue de clares he will not enter into any negotia tions or play with the Portland club until his figures are accepted. He says he Is entitled to an advance over last season and as he is doing nicely here, or In other words, is getting more than be has been offered by MoCredle, he will remain with the Stockton team. Still he says he must look out for him self, and when the salary question Is settled he will talk business with Manager McCredie, but not until tha- time will he discuss matters. Pat admits he has re ceived letters from his hrother, "Jiggs," but there was not any advice further than to take the best course, and get the money. Pat asserts he does not need advice, but wants the money. That McCredle needs Donahue Is most apparent and here it is believed that McCredie will come through with the coin to bring Donahue, who is considered a fast man behind the bat in this sec tion, back Into the fold. .He has been well treated here and says it will take extra inducements to get htm to leave Stockton, Ben Henderson, who made such a good record with the Portland team last sea son, says that he expected to receive some consideration from Manager Mc Credle this year, but when he wrote to McCredie the latter1 would not answer for several weeks. Then he would give all kinds of advice and try to Induce the pitcher to sign up at the same figures that he played for last season. Hender son says he cannot eee it In that light and believes that, as he was one of the hardest-worked and most efficient twirl erg of last year, he is entitled to an In crease of salary this year. When It came time to sign ballplayers, McCredle sent Henderson a contract. Henderson says it contained the figures of a year aj?o. and he at once returned Increasing The demand is constantly in creasing for Flavoring Extracts Vanilla Lemon Orang Rose,ttfr This is accounted for by the fact that Dr. Price's flavors are just as represented true to nature, made from the finest fruits, of delicate taste, and of the greatest strength attainable- n it to McCredJe and later wrote 'him to the effect! he would not play for the same amount he had received the pre vious season. The Portland manager was riven stfx weeks In which to consider, but failed to answer until after the time limit, and then threatened Ben with blacklisting and all kinds of trouble if he "jumped." McCredie added a postscript to the effect that the letter required no answer. Since that time the only mess age Ben has received from McCredle was a few lines asking him to send measure ments for a uniform. Henderson tonight saj-B that he has signed to play with Manager Cy Moreing. of the Stockton team, in the California League, and that positively no offer from McCredle can induce him to leave here. He does not believe he has been treated fairly and does not care to play with Portland. Donahue has not influenced him in any way. Henderson is a Deputy County As sessor now and will make about $300 a month, far more than McCredie will pay. Relative to the $200 advance money for which he pigned a note due in six months, Henderson says that he will pay it when it is due. and notified McCredie to that effect when he wrote him some months ago.
