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

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

been placed on sale has brought thousands of

BASKETBALL SEASON EID5
ONE MOKE STATE IiEAGTJE
GAME TO BE PLAYED.
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.)

game of the series will be played with

vainly against a team from the Portland
Associated Football Clubs Saturday aft

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

halfback for the University of Toronto

interest in the game since he was de

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

that he is now considered the best 125

he graduated from the bush leaguer

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

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

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

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.
