THIS famous oil property is located on the north bank of the Columbia River directly opposite Astoria, and right at the mouth of Deep River, at Onieda, Washington. The derrick, machinery and drilling apparatus is on the ground at work daily, and open to the inspection of the public. Mr. John D. Magner and Fred E. Carl, two of the most competent oil and gas drillers in the country are in charge o: tne work. Go and see them drill in the ground. The location of the plant is right on John Nelson's place at Onieda, where he has farmed for the past 20 years. He has been using this gas for the past C years that this company is now digging down for a plentiful supply. The gas is there because it has been put to practi cal heating and illuminating tests without a break.JWe want you to see the plant in operation. Look over the exceptional facilities for handling the product, and then form your opinion of those who own stock rn the company. Take the steamer Julia B. or the Genl Washington anyjmorning from Astoria and spend an hour at the plant and see it work. You can return in the morning or'afternoon of the same day. This visit will prove a revelation. There is nothing like it in the northwest. This drilling outfit isThe biggest and most up to date ever operated on the Pacific coast. StocK for Sale For Development Purposes The per value of the stock is $100 per share, but is now offered at one half ($50) and it is worth it The company has already sold a limited amount of stock, equipped the prop erty with the best working machinery in the world and it has plans for a great future. The money secured from the sale of stock will be to push the work. Every dolar will be used to prepare for the best interest of the company. As the drill goes down the stock will surely rise. The price it is now offered at will only be a short time. A good rule is to let oppor tunity in when it knocks at the door. For an investment there is nothing more tangible, brighter or more surer dvidend paying than this stock, par ticularly at $50 per share. Don't wait until it goes to par, but buy now. It is really a chance that comes seldom.

NEW YORK, June 8. With Cali fornia, New York, Connecticut aiid Maryland as its original states, a na tional republic of boys and girls has been founded in this city to-day. The Plymouth Rock of this young nation lies at the George Junior Republic in Frceville, where New York's strayed youngsters have reclaimed them selves for fourteen years, and "Dad dy" G orge, who has proved its Co lumbus, will be its Washington. That every state in the older union may eventually have the same sure means of turning its young incorrigibles into good citizens is the plan of the na tional association which has just been formed to stand behind this juvenile United States. Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Illi nois are already planning state colon ics to join the National George Junior Republic, while a dozen other states ive to-day applied to be represented, each with its little working democ racy of boys and girls. Just as the parent republic in this state is model led exactly after the life and repre sentative self-government of any American town, the national body of young republics will reproduce the government of the larger land for which it will turn out thousands of good citizens from bad beginnings. organizers of this national movement to-day William R. George-"Daddy" to over five hundred useful young men and women and to the idea which has straightened out their crooked starts in lifereported his four orig inal states to be reorganized and ready as a basis for the new nation. Pioneering from coast to coast, Mr. George has settled a band of young colonists in California near Los Angeles and paved the way for plant ing and nursing other colonies in other states. Connecticut has been roused to make much of its struggl ing junior republic at Litchfield and Maryland's older organization has also been instated in the national fed eration. Working their way to self support and respect, some two hundred boys and girls less than sixteen years old are to-day enrolled as citizens in this four-state nucleus of the national junior republic. Each of them has gone wrong in the outer community and is learning for the first time the self satisfaction of getting on the right side of things in their own lit tle democracy. As judges, jury, police, public prosecutors and legis lators they hoI,d the fate of their fel lows and the young commonwealth entirely in their own hands. As fore man, skilled laborers or apprentices in the farm, furniture factory, bakery, printing plant and laundry these youngsters are finding out that they must do work and reap its reward or loaf and starve. In all the fourteen years of the parent republic in this state few of the many hundred junior citizens", originally sent there as in corrigibles, have failed in the end to see the point and impress it on those who followed. The fine art of leaving absolutely alone the young wills to work them selves right has proved a rare gift, junior republic work. As the new states are taken in, a colony of select ed "citizens" of the George Junior Republic here will be put in training on an adjoining farm at Freeville to eventually blaze the trail to the new territory as a nucleus for its newly institute..' boy and girl state. MISSING BABY RECOVERED. After Being Hunted For by People For 3 days. 1000 CHICAGO, June 8.-A despatch to the Tribune from Calumet, Mich., says: Two worn out men members of a party of 1,000 people seeking a Miss Comzack in the woods for three days and nights, came upon a child's hat and shoes near a creek in a swamp yesterday and sent up a loud shout of joy which told that the long hunt was over. The child, who is four years old had been missing since Thursday. She was found reclining against a i tree unconscious. Her locks had been blown over her face as if by a kindly Providence, yet this had proved in sufficient protection, for her lips, cheeks and brow were swollen and discolored from bites of mosquitos and other insects that infest the mor ass. Without food since she left her home four days ago, save berries and wild fruits of the forest, the girl must have given out from sheer exhaustion. The wanderer was taken to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Comzack, where physicians stated that she would recover. Her father is blind and was barred from aiding in the hunt for his daughter. This recipe is highly recommended by one of our correspondents; try it for desert tomorrow.

NEW YORK, June 8-Mrs Antone FuerSt of Newark, is displaying to her friends a necklace and a cross of gold, and relating the story of a ro mantic restoration of the trinket after it had been lost to her for 27 years.
