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 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 tosee 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, north west.

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 drilf 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.

NEW YORK'S EXODUS Wealthy Ones Are Fleeing to Europe NEWSY FACTS AND FANCIES "Jim" Keene Still the Envy of Horse men in the Metropolis, and it C Looks as if he Will Yet Win a Pot of Money. NEW YORK, June U-Earlicr and more extensive than ever in the mem ory of the present generation, the summer exodus has begun here to day with a rush.

PORTLAND, OffeOON, AKRON, OHIO. Every pier is laden with the effects of trans-Atlantic voyagers, and passage on every steamer clearing the bay for the next few weeks is booked to full capacity. Already the pall of off-sea-son lethargy has begun to hang heavy over the skyscraper offices of the downtown district. Bulls and bears are planniug long, cheap anl lonely trips to the woods and shore, while the merchants, lawyers and bankers are setting aside their affairs for lengthy vacations. Only the maim facturcrs "are holding their forces to gether against a summer rush to which they have begun to look for ward. Whatever the cause of 1 this premature relaxation, everyone be licves its effect will be to rest and refit the worried workers for a rec ord resumption of great good times. RARE RACING With two equinine world beaters ready to run for the season's richest stakes "Uncle Jim" Keene is to-day the envy of horsemen with less luck than the resolute old financier. On the rare fortune of Colin and Celt, the greatest brace of thoroughbreds that ever looked through leather, the racing public has hung with eager in terest. To-day, with both , chestnit fliers pronounced fit to smash rec ords to bits, the Keene colors are promising to win for the great bear operator more fame and gold than he ever plucked from his stubborn cam paigning on Wall Street. Racing stables have seldom brought anything but unending financial loss to the millionaire horsemen of this city, and the possible profits of the Keene string to its owner are regarded with wonder atjd envy by many an impov erished followers of the track. RELICS REMOVED. For the first time since Manhattan was pasture ' land above Madison Square, narrow old Fulton" Street is to-day abandoned by the horse-cars that for years furnished the city's most important traction : span. Of late years the rattle-trap old convey ances that rumbled to and fro, im peded and almost swamped by traffic, have served more as museums of an-, tiquity than as means of transit. To day hardly a hundred downtown way farers are missing the once crowded cars, for no real reason has lately existed for their antiquated route. Within stone's throw of the rusty, battered tracks of Fulton Street three giant traction tubes offer speedy ac cess to all the greater city and its suburbs, while a dozen crowded trol ley lines converge from the upper is land. Gothan still cherishes a few of these out-of-date horse car lines; but public pressure is rapidly leaving them to their fate. PAYING FOR PRINT Bearing bushels ot newspaper clip pings from aH over the country, messengers are to-day invading the luxurious retirement of Hetty Green in her fashionable hotel near the park. For every printed slip bearing her name and some account of her re cent social fling the formerly par simonious queen of greenbacks is paying several good hard cents to a clipping bureau. As the reporters here have not allowed this odd flicker of Mrs. Green's fashionable ambitions to be hidden under a bushel, the daily burden of the clipping boys has come to represent a sum equal to that on which she formerly eked out a year's living. The temptation to force a few pennies from the purse of this ladv bv sliDoinur her name into coov is expected to so impress the outer j journalistic world that in a short while the clippings may come to be redeemed by the ream. BACK TO THE MINES That there is no pay streak to be hit by real miners here pn the floor of Madison Square Garden has been demonstrated to-day by the promot ers of the "Mining Show", which has passed n its chips and broken up, days ahead of schedule time. Four expert miners from Arizona are heading a lynching party of other ex hibitors in the dismantled show hall to throw back what was promised as pay-dirt in the face of certain pro moters who have left them stranded a thousand miles from home. The1 fag end. of the show season under j ewer is never a propitious time fort any exhibit in the late spring, of Go tiam; but "ihis mining demonstration hardly served tq.draw enough of an audience to pay the first day's rent. Some of, the men here who jpx fat on 'their mines have staked the miners to grub and carfare home, however, and next time it will take a barrel of nuggets, payable in advance, to coax them near the metropolis. A GOOD REASON. Astoria People Can Tell You Why It Is So. ' Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause of disease, and that is why the cures are . always lasting. This remedy strengthens and tones up the. kidneys, helping them to drive out. of the body the liquid poisons that cause back ache, headache and distressing kid ney and urinary complaints. Astoria people testify to permanent cures. Wm. Joyce, 412 Duane street, As toria, Ore., says: "At the time I be gan using Doan's Kidney Pills, I was enduring a great deal of suffering from my kidneys. The secretions from these organs were so profuse as to give me a great deal of annoy ance. As a result of not getting my proper rest at n'ght, I would rise in the morning feeling more tired and weak than when I went to bed and during the day felt weak and languid. The slightest exertion caused severe pains through my back and hips. I tried liniments and plasters but did not receive any relief until my atten- ton was drawn to Doan's Kidney Pills. I desired to give them a trial and procured a box of Chas. Rogers & Son's drug store. They helped me so greatly that I procured a further sup ply, used thera and was entirely cured. , I am now in unusually good health and do not hesitate to attribute same to" the use of Doan's Kidney Pills." .
