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.

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.

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;

Over Thirty-Five Years.
In 1872 there was a crreat Heal nf
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. ;

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.
