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--

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

R. A. Wade, vice-president.

is being done under
the supervision of
two expert oil well
operators. You can

week at Oneida
right opposite As
toria. The picture opposite is
a view of the derrick in
actual operation.

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

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. There is little
or no outside demand for eggs now,
and the local dcinandi s just about
