SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1908. THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON, Right at the Mouth of the Columbia River D , 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 slock of $300,000. This company has just placed a.number of shareslof stock on the market at the low price of $50.00 per share. READ ON-- What the Company la The Pacific Coait Cat & Oil Co. U composed of reliable business men of Oregon and Washington whoie only purpose li to develop the property to the best of its ability and produce paying mine of oil and gai that all who have purchaied atock may ihare in iti profiti. 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 hi brilliant fu ture it 'has secured leases on over 6000 acres of land. It has obtained the highest expert authority on the geological formation of the land, employed tl.e 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, i Alex Sweek, president, Portland. Clayton S. Barber, sec. and treas. R. A. Wade, vice-president. Directors John Nelson, Oneida, Wash.; Ceo. L. Hutchins, Portland; Win. Anderson, Deep Kiver, Wash. The plant isnow 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 a view of the derrick in actual operation. ! 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 "strikeM?rit will be too late f to o buy cranages stock. Do itiNOW. StocH for Sale For Ectl( Jirttt I tu es The per value of the stock is $100 i per share, but is now offered at one-' half ($30) 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 baa plans for a great future. The money secured from the sale of atock 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 ij goes to par, but buy now.

Higgins & Warren, Savings Bank Building, Astoria, Oregon, The Daily Market Report PORTLAND. July 3-"The market is steady in all lines at yesterday's quotations," said a livestock dealer today, "and if the shippers in the country can be induced to continue sending in cattle, sheep and hogs that are ready for the trade, the market can be maintained on the present basis. The trade now is fair ly satisfactory, and there is nothing so far as I can see to cause any ap- hcnsion. .I lie out 00k tor tne im mediate future is on the whole favor- r strict v irsn cuirs. wnicn are rain cr scarce, mere is a- lair uemana, wTt'h 19 cents quoted in some quarters for such stock. Current receipts move at 18 to 181 generally, and much com plaint is heard of the quality of the goods. Close candling results in heavy shrinkage, and shippers arc to some extent blamed for the bad con dition of some of the arrivals. At this time of the year eggs cannot be held long in the country.
