! 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

compoied of reliable busineii men of
Oregon and Washington whoie only
purpoie it to develop the property to

paying mine of oil and gat that all
who have purchaied atock may ahare

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.

R. A. Wade, vice-president.
Directors John Nelson, Oneida,
Wash.; Geo. L Hutchins, Portland;

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

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.

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.
