That OIL and natural GAS have been discovered in paying quantities across the Columbia River from Astoria at Onieda,
Washington, I has been important enough to a number of well-Jcnown reliable partiesjto 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- ' . .

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. This drilling outfit is the
biggest and most up to date ever operated on the Pacific coast

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." .
