at the low price of $50.00 per share. READ ON--

Oregon and Waihington wbote only

some of the most reputable citizens

6000 acres of land. It has obtained
the highest expert authority on the

The plant is now
in constant opera
tion. The drilling
is being done under
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

actual operation.

I J,
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
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 itlNOW.
StocK for Sale
For Itulqntttliir ctes
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 for a
great future. The money secured
from the sale of stock will be to push
the work. Every dolar will be nsed
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.

ticularly at $50 per share. Don't wait .
