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 la The Facif.c Coait Gai St Oil Co. ii composed of reliable buiineii men of Oregon and Waihington whose only purpoie ii to develop the property to the bcit of it ability and produce paying mine of oil and gaa that, all who have purchated atock may share in id profit!. The officers serve with out laliry and include among them sonic of the moit reputable citizen of the State. To make the company strong on account of its brilliant fu ture it has secured leasee on over 6000 acres of land. It has obtained tbe 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. Alex Sweek, president, Portland. Clayton S. Barber, sec. and treas. R. A. Wade, vice-president. DirectorsJohn Nelson, Oneida, Wash.; Ceo. L Hutchins, Portland; Win, Anderson, Deep River, Wash. 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 ot tne work. Go and see them drill in the ground. The location of the plant is right on John Nelson's place at Onie da 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 break. 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 Gen'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. Stoctt for Sale For Development Pur oses The per value of the stock is $100 per share, but is now offered at one half ($30) 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 ia 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. Further particulars at the addresses given below.

Manufacturers Getting Reday to Sup' . ply the Large Demand. WASHINGTON, Jun U.-If there's Ohe class of persons above another who are looking forward with eager impatient to the Chicago and Denver convention's arid the selection of the two party tickets, it's the cam paign button makers. Despite the fact that there is a brisk continuous business in the manufacture of but tons and badges for commercial and patriotic conventions and the, like, the man who is dependent for a Uv- inb on his pin money only has a real chance once in four years. Hence" it is unconcealed impatience that the campaign button men await the time when they can start the manufacture of the little tin and celluloid disks bearing the miniature portraits of the men who will be the principals in the forthcomng Presidential campaign. Of course, in these pre-convention days there has been more or less of a demand for Taft buttons, Bryan buttons, Fairbanks buttons, Johnson buttons, and buttons for each one of the likely candidates, but the real de- STEEL EAART Electrical Contractors Phone Main 3881 426 Bond Street mand will start when the campaign actually is on. And the men charged with the important work will not be long in supplying this demand. They have been all ready and"waiting for weeks; copyrights long since have been secured on sample buttons and badges containing every possible com bination of candidates. All that re, mains to be done now is to await the final choice of the convention. Im mediately this Is known, the rush will begin, and within a week the entire country will be flooded with tiny likenesses of the respective nominees. STAGE FRIGHT. BECOMING SERIOUS VICTORIA, B. C. June ll.-News was brought from China by the Tango Maru that the revolution in Yunnan and South China Js becom ing so serious that the Peking au thorities have, issued orders to the authorities of four provinces to as semble armies to attack the rebels who "organized a ' movement which threatens to be the largest of its kind since the Taipmg Rebellion. Seldom has a worse case of "stage fright" been witnessed in Congress than that which marked the lasjt four weeks of the session just closed. The leaders felt that they ought to adopt legislation on certain subjects as a preparation to "going before the COuntfY". but no sooner had thv mapped out a certain line of action than they were seared out of it by a violent uprising Against their pro posals in some part of the country or from some influential class of citizens. Particularly was this mi of tho cur. rency question'. Every fresh plan that was worked out to meet obiectinns in one quarter called down on the congressmen art avalanche of protest from other directions. If some genius could discover a line" of legislation that would please everybody and therefore displease1 nobodV. to he fol lowed in these years when president ial and congressional elections are to occur, he would win the eternal grat itude of "Uncle Joe" and his troubled licuteants.
