X I i fUEBDAY, JUNE 30, 1008, THE MORNING ASTOIU AX, ASTORIA, OREGON. i ;i? ifl ! Right 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, fhas 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-- i SB r I Ills SP ' 1 JBFflf SOU 0 ' IS m i Hiifofii Oil ( UUIUII What the Company Is The Pacific Coast Cat & Oil Co. compoied of reliable busineii men of Oregon and Washington whoie only purpoie it to develop the property to the bet of lu ability and produce a paying mine of oil and gat that all who have purchaied atock may ahare in in profit. The officers serve with out salary and include among them tome of the most reputable citizeni of the State. To make the company strong on account of its brilliant fu ture it has secured leases on over WOO 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.; Geo. L Hutchins, Portland; Wm. Anderson, Deep Kiver, Wash. The plant is now in constant opera tion. The drilling isbeingdoneunder 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. The picture opposite is a view of the derrick in actual operation. s J. i r f A -... A' I, If you have any doubt as to the sta bility of the com pany, or in the manner in which tor- it; is operating, be fore you make any investment ivisit 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 to buy stock. Do it NOW. StocK for Sale For Development Pur 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 a limited amount of stock, equipped the prop erty with the best working machinery in the world and it bat 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. Further particulars at the addresses given below. r I If pJA era Oa n y? y fl M 11 V I 402 Commercial Block, Portland, Oregon.

The Daily Market Report PORTLAND, June 29,-The week opened with the fruit trade generally more active than at any previous time since the beginning of the sea ton, and with the promise for fair weather from this time on the indi cations are for brisk business in all lines through the summer months. One local dealer sai ilthis morning: "Our sales of cantalouplcs today have already been greater than for any whole day since this product be gan coming in, and despite the heavy receipts of the past few days the Spaces are that the market will this k be largely relieved of the sur , I, Prices are still the lowest ever ) known here at this time of the year- running from $1.5 to $175 a crate for the most partbut the over-supply and .slow demand last week made low prices, necessary. Warmer weather has stimulated the demand and it Is possible that cant prices may go up slightly within the next week or id days." In other l ies the situation is about the same. Strawberries were about the only active fruit last week, and at the close of business Saturday the market was well loaded up with a number of lines, peaches, plums and cherries in particular. Today every thing moved in response to better inquiry, but there was little change from Saturday's range of prices. 3 Flour, Grain and Feed.
