I. ill to I That OIL and natural GAS have been discovered in paying quantities across the Columbia River from Astoria at Onieda, Washington, lhas been important enough to a number of well-known reliable partieslto 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 la Th Pacific Coast Gas & Oil Co. it composed of reliable business men of Oregon and Washington whose only purpoie it to develop the property to the beit of iti ability and produce t paying mine of oil and gaa that all who have purchaied atock may share in hi profits. The officers aerve with out salary and include among them some of the most reputable citizens of the State. To make the company strong on account of its brilliant fu ture it has secured leaiea 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. Alex Sweek, president, Portland. Clayton S. Barber, sec and treas. R. A. Wade, vice-president. Directors John Nelson, Oneida, Wash.; Ceo. L Hutchlns, Portland; Wm. 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 or 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 26 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. StocK for Sale For DivelopmentPur 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 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 $30 per share. Don't wait until it goes to par, but buy now. It is really a chance that cornea seldom. Further particulars at the addresses given below. 0 P f P 0 II Jili3 NIL MFV1 0 , lit It I 1 .mmW fill i : 402 Commercial Block, Portland, Oregon.

IHWMMMM M GOOD ROADS PLANK Inserted in the Platform of Each Party i TAFTATHEAD OF MOVEMENT he Gospel of "Good Roads" Will be Treached to Both the Republican and Democratic National Conven tions -Influence Brought Forward CHICAGO, June 16.-"The gospel of Good Roads" will be preached to both the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. Every influ ence will be brought to bear to have a "good roads" plank inserted in the platform of each party. This pro gram was decided upon at the first meeting of the National Good Roads Congress here yesterday Secretary Taft was heralded as tha champion of the movement. Timothy Woodruff, chairman of the New York delega tion, in the course of an address be fore the gathering said he would use his influence in promoting the "Good Roads" plank. He said he was heart ily in favor of good road throughout the United States. Similar expres sions were given by others who at tended. A meeting of the congress will be held in Denver July 6 prior to the convening of the Democratic Nation al Convention. ( Arthur G. Jackson, president of the congress, read a letter from President which, said in part. : ' 'A few years ago it was matter of umiliation that there was so little attention paid to the roads, that there should be a willingness not merely to refrain from making good roads but to let the roads that were in exist ence become worse. "I cannot too heartily congradu late our people upon, the existence of a body such as this, ramifying into every section of the country and bent upon more eminently proper work of making the conditions of life easier and better for the people whom of nil others we can least afford to see grow discontented with their lot in life the people who live in the country districts. "No one thing can do more to off set the tendency toward an unhealthy growth from the country into the city than making and keeping of good roads. "And I amialmost tempted to say they are nedced for special conditions in country districts. "If a little heavy weather means a stoppage of all communication you must expect there will be a great many young people of both sexes who will not find a farm life attrac tive. "It is for this reason that I feel that the work you are doing is pre eminently' one in the interest of the nation as a whole." Martin Dodge, of Cleveland, a member of the National League for Good Roads and Business Director of the office on Good Roads, intro duced and had adopted the following resolutions: "Whereas, no permanent system of highways, was ever built and main tained m any state or county with out the aid of the general government "Therefore, be it resolved by the National Good Roads Congress, as sembled in the City of Chicago this fifteenth day of June , 1908, that it is the sense of the congress that the ( general government of the U. S. I should pay at least one fourth of the cost of constructing and 'maintaining a permanent system of hghways." A man who is in nprfect health, sr ' he can do an honest day's work when necessary, has much for which he should be thankful. Mr. L. C. Rodg- ers, of Branchton, Pa., writes that he was not only unable to work, but he1 couldn't stoop over to tie his own1 shoes. Six bottles of Foley's Kidney ! Cure made a new man of him.

Subscribe for the Morning Astorian, NEW YORK, June 16.- While hundreds of athletes are bemoaning their loss at not having "made" the Olympic team which will represent America at the London Stadium next month for the world's championship, one of the first to be picked by the American committee, has said that he will not accept the honor and will not compete. He is W, P. Dray of Yale University, a champion with whom the athletes of the world are familiar. In fact his feats in the pole vaults have for more than a year been viewed with wonder. For two years he has held the world's record and the intercollegiate championship. At the intercollegiate meet in 1907 he hurled himself into the air the unprecedented distance of 12 feet S 1-2 inches and established a mark that remained untouched until he himself year later, added another inch to it. At the Olympic tryouts he was de feated by Gilbert, one of his class mate and stripped of the world's rec ord and title. . Spurred on by disappointment, Dray trained and practiced as he had never before, with the, result that on Saturday at a meeting at Danbury, Conn, he cleared the bar at 12 feet 9 1-2 inches. So much higher is this than any vaults ever recorded that Dray announced immediately . after his vault that he was content to rest on his laurels and allow Gilbert, Nel son, Cooke and the other prominent vaulters to beat the foreigners when America meets the world next month. While Dray is probably sincere in his desire to refrain from competing, those who know him best say that when the time comes for the Ameri can pole vaulters to line up in the Mwimwii kruauiuui, hJiixy win uc one of the first on the field.

Mr. Stallings, of Butler Tenn., told us of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. We went to the store that night and got a bottle of it and bathed her ankle two or three times and she went to sleep and had a good night's rest. The next morning she was much better and in a short time could walk around and had no more trouble with her ankle. E. M.

Two indictments are sought against each proprietor -one for the illegal sale of liquor and one for maintain ing a disorderly house. The evidence against these places some of which are in the segregated districts, was secured by detectives of the Law and Order League.
