To make the company atrong on account of Iti brilliant fu ture it has aecured leasee on over 6000 acres of land.

StocK for Sale For Development Pa oses The per value of the stock is $100 per share, but is now offered at one half ($50) and it is worth it The company has already sold 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 it 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. b s"Ll. Jj P Afai mm 402 Commercial Block, Portland, Oregon.

IEW YORK RACING Expect Cut in the Schedule of Sheepshead Bay Purses NO CUT IN BROOKLYN CLUB The Brighton Beach Racing Associa tion Make Every Effort to Keep up the Racing Sport in Spite of the New Law. &EW YORK, June 17. The un settled condition of racing in New York lias caused horsemen to con sidcr of extreme importance the plans of the race tracks which have meet ings to follow Gravescnd. It is as mired that the Brooklyn Jockey Club, under the direction of P. J. Dwycr will finish its meeting without re duction of purses, but a cut in the schedue of the Shccpshcnd Pay purse is generally expected though the Shcepeshcad stakes will be run as they have been announced. The mat ter of the value of the purses nt Sheepshead will be decided at a meet ing of the governors at Coney Jsland to-day and the expectation is that the added money for the over-night races will be reduced from an average of a little more than $1,000 each to about $600 each. The Brighton Beach Racing As sociation also came in for much at tention from horsemen, in view of the circular letters that the Association has prepared for the owners of horses engaged in Makes at Brighton Beach. The circular is as follows: "The recent repeal of the Percy Gray Law has made it doubtful whether racing can be continued In NewfYork on the plane that it has Tpicd for many years. This as- (ciatton intends to make every pos- lible ettort to Keep me spun as it .... ... . i and with the enu in view we asK youj M 1' - . it I' . i . "A " ' "' 1 ';... purpose to hold a meeting but in view of the changed conditions, the club did not believe it would take the risk of racing without the co-operation of horsemen. Mr. Fritzerald said the Brighton Association would conduct the best meeting that it possibly could under the circumstances. IMMENSE RETAIL STORE 19 New York Blocks Gathered Under One Ownership. NEW YORK, June 17-By a series of transactions extended over several months and conducted with the ut most secrecy, a group of conspicuous real estate holdings in the new up town shopping district have been gathered together under a single ownership, with a view to be used as a site for a big retail store. The site comprises 19 lots, including the whole block of the Front on East Side of Fifth Avenue, between thirty seventh and Thirty-eight Street. It measures 197. 6 feet on the Avenue, extending back 24 feet on Thirtv- seventh Street and 225 feet on Thirty eight Street. The valuation put upon it is about $7,000,000. The locationi on the crest of Murry Hill is one of tne nnest on the Avenue. The site is mostly occupied by old private houses all of them vacant with the exception of two on Fifth Avenue in used as stores. A space of about five lots on the Thirty-seventh side is taken up with an old time garden shaded bv fine trees and screened frpm the pub lic by a high brick wall. Adjoining this $500,000 garden on the east is the I stable which was originally designed to hide out of view from the mansion . on the Fifth Avenue corner. The rise of Fifth Avenue to first rank as a shopping .. thoroughfare has taken place within the last few years The migration "of high class retail houses from ' Broadway and Sixth Avenue has followed as an incident of the eastward movement oi" the fashionable residence population. In 1902 for the first time the center of the fashionable residence district was shifted to the east of Fifth Avenue. Eczema Instantly Relieved. Instant relief for that awful itch! The itch gone the moment the GEORGIA HARPER, LEADING LADY In "Nell Gwynne" Astoria Theatre, Sunday evening, June 21st. to assist us by signing the enclosed, consent permitting us, should neces sity arise, to modify 'or withdraw and schedules of this Association already closed." The consent mentioned is an agree-. ment to accept the decision of the As sociation in either the cancelling of stakes to be run or the redaction of stakes in proportion to the amount of money added. In addition to the doubt' thrown on the stakes already closed, the Brighton Beach Associa tion announced that four stakes, the Trump, Sunshine and Undergraduate for two year old and the Chantilly Steeplechase, which had been dver-j tiscd to close on June 15, were aban doned before the date of closing, the Brighton Club having notified the Jockey Club of its intention to give up those events late last week. The most important .fixtures of the Brighton Racing which thus has been so doubtful that horsemen have given up any id a that they would run are the $250,000 Brighton handicap, $25. 000 Derby, $2,500 Venus and the In vincible handicap; $7,500 added at the summer meeting and the $30,000 Brighton Produce and the $10,000 Brighton cup in the fall.
