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.

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.

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.

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."

Help for Those Who Have Stomach
Trouble.
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. This medi
cine is for sale by Frank Hart and

Chinese Actors Will Aid In Benefit
Given At New York.
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.
