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.

AMERICAN
CHILDREN
National Republic of Boys and
Girls
tJEORGE JUNIOR REPUBLIC
Every State in the Union May Event'
ually Have the Same Sure Means
of Turning Its Young Incorrigibles
Into Good Citizens.
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.
Peel five bananas, rub smooth with
five teaspoonfuls of sugar. Add one
teacup sweet cream beaten to a stiff
froth, then add one 10c. package of
Lemon JELL-0 dissolved, in 1 tea
cups boiling water. Pour into mold
and when cold garnish with candied
cherries. Serve with whipped cream,
or any good pudding sauce. JELL-0
is sold by all Grocers at 10c . per
package.

Returned To Owner After Being Lost
27 Years.
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.
One day last week a woman called
upon a daughter-in-law of Mrs. Fu
erst and asked her if she remembered
losing a necklace and cross many
years ago. The younger Mrs. Fuerst
said she remembered that her hus
bands mother had sustained such a
loss.
I he stranger produced the neck
lace and asked that it be restored to
its owner. She then told Mrs. Fuerst
that a friend had given her the neck
lace and cross ten years ago. The
friend, she said, was on her death bed
at the time.
Her promise to restore the trinket,
