MOO 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.

If you have any
doubt as to the sta
bility of the com
pany, or in the
mannei in which
it is operating, be-
Ifore you make any
investment visit
the property ; any
day and satisfy
yourself. lOil and
gas will be found
in paying quanti
ties. After the
"strike" it will be
too late to buy
stock. Do it NOW.
StocK for Sals
For Development Pa oje$
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 (or 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 comes seldom.

MUST GIVE OVER A THIRD
Capt.TS. T. Barnette Forced to Make
an Accounting of All Property and
Money Made While he Was in
Tanana.
SEATTLE, June 26.-A lawsuit
which involves over a million dollars
in Alaskan property, but which is un
usually interesting on account of its
Rrub stake feature has just been de
rided on appeal by the supreme court.
Capt. E. T, Barnette, banker an min
ing operator of Fairbanks, has been
forced to make an accounting of all
property and money which he has
made while in the Tanana, James II.
Caustin, at present collector of cus
toms in Porto Rico, is the defendant
in the case.
In 1901 Barnette landed at St.
Machael from Seattle with a stock of
K'oods valued at $20,000 and engaged
a steamer to take him to the head
waters of the Tanana, then a practi
cally 'unknown region. The boat
leaked and he required $6000 to en-
Kftge another steamer with which he
ascended the Tanana river to the
present site of Fairbanks. He got
tlVe money from Caustens, promising
.him a third interest in the venture.
By a strange coincidence a rich
strike was made within a few miles
of where he established his trading
post1 which eventually became the city
of Fairbanks. Barnette claimed he
ncvr made anv money with his first

Mr. Eliot.- The ovcrccrs, a U-nly of
thirty men, returned the recommen
dation, but the corporation remained
firm, and, again nominated Mr. Eliot.'
At the next commencement dinner,
the atmosphere was distinctly cool
the president of the dinner being one
who had voted against Mr. Eliot. At
the dinner not one word against Mr.
Eliot, until Joseph II. Choate, then
a rising young lawyer in remote N'ew
York, arose and said that he thought
it was time that some encouraging
word should be uttered about the
young president. "I have always felt
grateful," said Mr. Eliot, ,"to Mr..
Choate for what fie said on that oc
casion." Success Magazine.

WHEN ELIOT WAS PRESIDENT
Shortly after the Civil War Mr.
Eliot was elected president of Har
vard, He had been a member of the
faculty since 1861. He was appoint
ed tutor in mathematics in 18S4, and
finally he become assistant professor
in mathematics. He had been a pro
fessor of chemistry at the Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology, and
he had studied chemistry and educa
tion two years in Europe. But he
was still young. He was but thirty
live years of age. Alumni felt him an
unsafe man to elect as the leader of
Harvard, not merely because he was
young, but also because he was radi
cal. He had criticized in print their
method of choosing presidents from
the ministry comparing the practice
to that of placing untried civilians
over the heads of soldiers; he had
criticized openly established methods
of education, and he had not spared
the knife on the matter of tradition.
The corporation consisted of six
men advanced in years. They chose
THE SUMMER FASHIONS
Grace Margaret Gould, the dress
expert, says in Woman's Home Com
panion for May: ,
"There are two distinct types of
dress this summer, both emphasizing
the straight up-and-down effect. One
is the tailored coat suit showing in
many instances a cutaway coat, which
gives the lu'pless effect, and a skirt
comparatively narrow at the bottom
that is, it is made without the sudden
flare that the tailored skirts used to
have,
"The other type of dress is the cut-in-one
gown, and great will be its
favor throughout the summer. In the
form of the new princess jumper this
cut-in-one dress is a most practical
gown to own. It can fasten in the
front quite as easily as the back, and
it is a model equally good for silk or
linen.
"The style dress is always cut out
at the neck, and is generally sleeve
less to show the guimpc, or trimmed
just sufficiently oyer the shoulders to
give a modified large armhole effect.
Or it may be made, as a number of
the imported models are, so that it
has much the, effect of a polonaise
cut out at the neck, but having a
sleeve which is cut in one with the
bodice.
"Now, of course, there are many
variations of these two basic ideas in
dress, but whatever the fashionable
model this summer, it is sure to be
simple in design, lacking entirely any
exaggeration in orm.
. "Perhaps this idea is better shown
in the sleeve than, anywhere else,
which has diminished in a pronounc
ed way in size within the past six
months, and now in most cases fol
lows very closely the outline of. the
arm."
The Best Pills Ever Sold.
"After doctoring IS years for
chronic indigestion, and spending over
$200, nothing has done me as much
good as Dr. King's New Life Pills. I
consider them the best pills ever
sold," writes B. Y. Ayscue, of Ingle-
