in
That OIL and natural GAS have been discovered in paying quantities across the Columbia River from Astoria at Onieda,
Washington, has been important enough to a number of well-known reliable parties to cause the organization of the Pacific
Coast Gas & Oil Co., with a capital stock of $300,000. This company has just placed a number of shares of stock on the market
at the low price of $50.00 per share. READ ON--
What the Company Is
The Pacific Coat Ga & Oil Co. it
composed of reliable business men of
Oregon and Waliington whose only
purpose is to develop the property to
the best of its ability and produce a
paying mine of oil and gai that all
who have purchased stock may share
in its profits. The ofliceri serve with
, out salary and include among them
' tome of the most reputable citizens
of the State. To make the company
strong on account of its brilliant fu
ture it has secured leases on over
6000 acres of land. It has obtained
the highest expert authority on the
geological formation of the land,
employed the strongest expert work
men to operate the drilling apparatus
and given such other evidence of good
faith to warrant any man making an
investment with them.

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 oi tne work.
Go and see them drill In the ground. The location of the plant is right on John Nelson's place at Oniedai
where he has farmed for the past 20 years. He has been using this gas for the past 6 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 Weak. We 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 Oen'l Washington any morning 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 is the
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 mony secured
from ihe sale of stock will be to push
thS work. Every dolaf will be used
to prepare lor 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
nnt.il it goes to par, but buy now. It
is really a chance that comes seldom.
