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 sharesjof stock on the market at the low price of $50.00 per share. READ ON- What the Company Is The Pacific Coast Gas tt Oil Co. it competed of reliable business men of Oregon and Washington whose only purpose it to develop (he property to the best of its ability and produce paying mine of oil and gai that all who have purchased Hock 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 leasei on over 6000 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; Wm. Anderson, Deep Kiver, Wash. The plant is now in constant opera tion. The drilling is beingdone under the supervision of two expert oil well operators. You can see them at work any day of the week at Oneida right opposite Astoria. The picture opposite is a view of the derrick in actual operation. .I ' "V, 1. - .1' - 3 f r ' ''"v ' 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 ivisit the3 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 Sals ForEnt3 jircct lui ats The per value of the stock ia $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 ia 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 ia 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. i JI p if 13 raw 402 Commercial Block, Portland, Oregon. Miggins & Warren, Savings Bank Building, Astoria, Oregon. The Daily Market Report PORTLAND, June 23. -"There will in all probability be a better makret for Oregon potatoes this Fall and Winter than a year ago," said a local jobber today. "The prospect in this sttc, so far as can be learned at this time, is for a crop about the size of last year, In some of the other states the situation is iuitc different. "Colorado has for three months been suffering from extremely dry weather, and recent reports from some of the principal potato-produc- g districts of that state say that ne yieiu uus year win oe uui a irac- tion of that of other years. In the Greeley district, where immense quantities of spuds are usually grown, the water supply this year has been so limited that the crop generally will be a failure." Flour, Grain and Feed.

After doctoring for about twelve years for a bad stomach trouble, and spending nearly five hundred dollars for medicine and doctors' fees, I pur chased my wife one box of Chamber lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, which did her so much good that she continued to use them and they have done her more good than all of the medicine I bought before SAMUEL BOYER, Folsom, Iowa.

NEW YORK, June 30.-Twenty Chinese from the Theatre in Doyers Street will join with their fellow players of the Broadway stage and in making merry for chanty on Theatre Field day July 7 at the Polo Grounds will aid the home for desti tute crippled children. The Chinese company will present in the open air the latest hit from China, a playlet called "The Duel", culminating in a thrilling sword duel in which all take part. This is the first time the Chinese actors have ap peared outside their theater. Over Thirty-Five Years. In 1872 there was a great deal of diarrhoea, dysentary and cholera in fantum. It was at this time that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was first brought into use. It proved more successful than any other remedy or treatment; and has for thirty-five years main tained that record. From a small be ginning its sale and use has extended to every part of the United States and to many foreign countries. Nine druggists out of ten will recommend it when their opinion is asked, al though they have other medicines that pay them a greater profit. It can always be depended upon, even in the most severe and dangerous cases. For sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists.
