That OIL and natural GAS have been discovered in paying quantities across the Columbia River from Astoria at Onieda,
Washington, fhas been important enough to a number of well-known 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-
Whit the Company If
The Pacific Coait Cat & Oil Co. It
compoied of reliable butinesi men of
Oregon and Waihington whose only
purpose if to develop the property to
the belt of ha ability and produce
paying mine of oil and gas that all
who have purchaied itock may ihare
in iti 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 leases on over
6000 acres of land. It has obtained
the highest expert authority on the
geological formation of the land,
employed tie strongest expert work
men to operate the drilling apparatus
and given such other evidence of good

investment with them.

The plant is now
in constant opera
tion. The drilling
is being done under
the supervision of
two expert oil well
operators. You can
see them at work
any day of the
week at Oneida
right opposite As
toria.

If you have any
doubt as to the sta
bility of the com
pany, or in the
manner in which
it;is 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" it will be
too late gtov" buy
stock. Do it NOW.

For Djveloptneat Pa - ojsj
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 ia 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.

START OF - AN ARTIST.
John Opia'a First Portrait and What It
Cott Him.
John Opie. the English painter, li
dfscrlbed lu "Coke of Norfolk and His
Frlonda." by Mrs. A. M. W. Stirling,
as a man of uuiuble origin who achiev
ed success wholly by bis own genius
and perseverauce. The story of bis
first effort to that Hue of art which
afterward brought hlni fame be relat
ed to Coke, tlrst Earl of Leicester of
Ilolkham, as follows:
Whou a small boy of ten or twelve
be was left at hone oue Sunday after
noon wltb bis father, while bis moth
er went to church. The father estab
lished himself iu the parlor wltb bis
liiblo and told the boy to be quiet aud
amuse himself.
Vouug Opie, who had procured some
paluts. took up his position unobserved
In the kitchen directly opposite the
parlor door. Very quietly he drew a
portrait of the old man bending over
bis Dlble until be bad finished every
thing except the bead, wheu be began
running backward and forward to
study his father'B tace.
The old gentleman grew very angry
at these apparently senseless interrup
tions and threatened to punish his son
if they continued.
This was exactly what the boy want
ed, as be wished to paint his father's
eyes lit up and sparkling with anger.
So be continued his irritating behavior
until it met with the desired result,
and his father, Justly wrathful, admin
istered a sound thrashing.
This achieved, the boy resumed his
task eagerly aud transferred to his
picture the expression which he had
Just seen upon the face of his indig
nant parent
When his mother returned from
church he placed the picture trium
phantly before her; but, although aston
ished and delighted with it, she thought
it her duty to scold her son severely
for painting on a Sunday.
Youug Opie, however, cared no more
for the scolding than for the beating
he had received in accomplishing his
work and only bugged his mother de
lightedly in his excitement at its suc
cess. ' 1
Ills father, coming into the room at
that Juncture and spying the portrait
of himself, was so surprised und pleas
ed at It that he told the mother not to
scold the boy any more.
Subsequently, whenever the picture
was shown, he used to tell with great
relish the story of young Ople's plucky
acceptance of a beating In order to In
sure its success.
Tht Cockatoo's Nutcracker Bill.
There Is. n wonderful cockatoo in
oue of the islands of the indian ocean;
near New Guinea. It is as large as a
full grown pheasant, and it is of a Jet
black color. The bird is remarkable for
Its immensely strong bill and the clev
er manner in which it is used. The bill
is as bard as steel, and the upper part
has a deep notch. Now, the favorite
food of this cockatoo Is the canary nut
but there U wonderful ingenuity . re
quired to get at It, for the nut Is some
thing like a Brazil nut but it is ten
times as hard. In fact It requires the
blow of a heavy hammer to crack it.
It Is quite smooth and somewhat trian
gular In shape. Nature appears to have
given the possessor of the wonderful
bill some intelligence to direct its pow
ers, for the cockatoo takes one of the
nuts edgewise In its bill and by a carv
ing motion of its sharp lower beak
makes a small notch on It. This done,
the bird takes bold of tne nut with its
claws and, biting off a piece of leaf,
retains it in the deep notch of the up
per part of the bill. Then the nut is
seized between the upper and lower
parts of the bill and Is prevented slip
ping by the peculiar texture of the leaf.
& sharp nip or two break off a tiny
piece of the shell of the nut. The bird
then seizes the nut in its claws and
pokes the long, sharp point of its bill
Into the hole and picks out the kernel
