Rig-lit at the Mouth of the Columbia River
That OIL and natural GAS have been discovered in paying quantities across the Columbia River from Astoria at Onieda,
Washington, (has been important enough' to a number of well-known reliable parties -to 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 Is
The Pacific Coast Cat & Oil Co. is
composed of reliable business men of
Oregon and Washington whose only
purpose la to develop the property to
the belt of its ability and produce a
paying mine of oil and gas that all
who have purchased stock may share
in its' profits. The officers serve 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 leases on over
0000 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 Hutchins, Portland;

The plant is now
in constant opera
tion. The drilling
is being done under
the supervision of
two expert oil well

week at Oneida
right opposite As

If you have any
doubt as to the sta
bility of the com-1
pany, or in the
manner in which
itiis operating, be
fore you make any
investment visit
the property any
day and satisfy
yourself. Oil and
gas will be found
in paying quanti
ties. After the
"strike" fit will be
too late gtov? buy
stock. Do it NOW.
StocK for Sale
For Development Pa " oej
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 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 $50 per share. Don't wait
until it goes to par, but buy now. It
is really a chance that comes seldom.
