That OIL and natural GAS have been discovered in paying quantities across the Columbia River from Astoria at Onieda,

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-

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,

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.

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. He

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. His patrio
tism, they say, will compel him to

Three years ago our daughter
sprained her ankle and had been suf
fering terribly for two days and
nights had not slept a minute. 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. Brumitt, Hampton,

CHICAGO WILL CLEAN UP
To Stop The Sale of Intoxicating
Liquors, In Resorts.
, CHICAGO, June 16.-A crusade to
stop the" selling of intoxicating lig
uors in disorderly resorts will begin
when . indictments against 25 ot 30
of the keepers are returned by the
grand jury to-day.
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.
The previous grand jury recom
mended police regulaton of the sale
of liquor in these houses and refused
the evdencc furnished it by the law
and Order League to the present
grand jury. It is understood that in
dictments by each succeeding jury
will follow until this illegal practice
is driven out of the city.
The League has investigated 98
resorts in Chicago, but in only a
portion of these was evidence war
ranting a true bill secured.
