Riertit at the Mouth of th( finltimhia Tr, I! r Tat 0IL Lahl natufal GAS ben discovered in paying quantities across the Columbia River from Astoria at Onieda Washington, f has been important enough to a number of well-known reliable partieslto cause the oreaniz-ation afthe Viiir What the Company fa The Pacific Coait Cat & Oil Co. it composed of reliable buiinen men of Oregon and Washington whoie only purpose it to develop the property to the beat of iti ability and produce paying mine of oil and gaa that all who have purchased stock 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 leases 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 tress. 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 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 Astoria. The picture opposite is a view of thejjderrick in actualjoperation. I v rift- - v '' v ' i Ft t ' 1 . "' 1 - - ... 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 visit 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 it NOW. StocK for Sale For .Development Purr oses vThe per value of the stock is $100 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 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 is to let oppor tunity in when it knocks at the door. For an investment there is nothing more tangible, brighter of more surer dvidend paying than this stock, par ticularly at $30 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. p) a p fl i 3 P y nn M N 402 Comrpercial Block, Portland, Oregon.

Oreeoncream trinlct. l.Ur- Vx.m. a ranch eggs arc in liuht receipt, and'c! cfa' brick, 20c; Swiss block, is... t oa. quotations advanced this morning to 19c and 20c fur candled, wth a firm tendency. Uncandled are valued at 19c. Dealers in egg!) consider the laying season drawing to a close and that re ceipts of fresh eggs will be lighter from this on. The warm weather helps in the tendency toward scarcity, as they will not keep for any length of time out of cold storage. The egg season begins in the Northwest in January, and the supply increases from week to week until April, which is considered the height of the laying season, and the best time for placing in cold storage for the following winter. The stock on such storage is not considered up to the average this year, as prices did not go below 16 to 17 cents, and at this figure is does not pay to place many away and run the risk of Eastern eggs being ship ped in from the great packing centers at 20 cents a dozen, to compete with Hit home storage. This year a great many eggs have been put away in Chicago and Omaha, and it is expect ed that this stock will be drawn on after the price of Oregon ranch has reached 25 cents in Portland; Flour.

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. Since Japanese Took Hold of Hermit Kingdom Crime i Has Been Ramport SEOUL, Korea, June 15, via San Francisco, July 7 (Correspondence of the Associated Press). More than 1,000 Koreans have been murdered by the Korean insurgents and so called patriots within the last few months. These Koreans were all members of the II-Ching Hoi, a pro Japanese Society. Most of them Kor cans murdered by their fellow coun trymen were peaceful, hard working men whose only crime seems to have been opposition to the disturbing ele ment in the country and friendliness to the Japanese protectorate. In addition to those murdered there have been a number of cases of cruel ty and hardship. The actual statistics carefully col lected and in every case verified, show that since the Japanese protect orate of Korea commenced 926 mem bers of the II-Ching Hoi have been murdered by the Korean insurgents. 360 houses have been burned, involv ing a loss of about 50,000 men. The revolution in Korean is gradually be ing driven into a corner. Scattered bands of rioters are being rounded up and either forced to surrender or their activity effectually stopped. The course taken by the government in the last rigorous campaign instituted against the disturbing element is ap proved by he people of the country, both foreign and natives. 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.
