Oregon and Washington whoie only
purpoie li to develop the property to
the beat of its 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 leasee 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

faith to warrant any man making an
investment with them.

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
FoDeveloptneat Par ose
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 t 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 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.
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 it goes to par, but buy now. It
is really a chance that comet seldom.

The Daily Market Report
PORTLAND, July 8.-The first
carload of watermelons for the sea
son, reached the city this morning
from California and began selling at
21c a pound. Those arriving hereto
fore came in small lots, by express
and have sold readily on reaching
litre. Watermelons are likely to
become more plentiful from this on,
Imt the continuance of warm weather
will keep prices on a level until the
liome-grown article begins coming in
from Wasco county and, later on,
from Southern Oregon.
This is supposed to be about the
last week for strawberries, Quite a
number of crates arrived from near
by points this morning and sold at
75c to $1.50 a crate of 24 boxes. The
berries are inclined to be small as a
rule, but as 'much sweeter than those
reaching market early in the season.

FARM WISDOM
Slowly and steadily all day long
accomplishes more than to hurry and
worry for a short time and then quit.
One gets less tired for the same work
accomplished.
If there are many vacancies in the
cornfield, Ml them with beans or
something that can be turned to ac
count. Keep every foot of your farm
growii, s mething that will help.
Now don't find fault with your wife
because she doesn't keep pie baked
all the time. Anyways, too much pie
is not healthful. An Indiana man died
after eating seven pies.
Stir the earth. Remember that as
agitation is the death of all political
wrongs, so is it death to weeds. Man
never devised a more useful imple
ment than the hoe in its various
forms.
Your greatest aid in the harvest is
your faithful team. See to it that
your horses are not pestered by flies,
and they are properly fed and watered
They have well earned humane treat
ment.
Don't be afraid of overdoing the
cultivation of the corn crop. When
G. B. Burhans Testifies After 4 Years ' there is a lull in other work, if the
G. B. Burhans, of Carlisle Center, stalks are not so high that there is

If you want nice bright hay that
the cattle will eat up clean, and that
will do them the most good, don't
wait 'till the blossoms have dropped
off and the stalk is dry and hard; cut
your grass when it is crisp and juicy.
You are not done with your sum
mer's work unless you have cut out
the brush and stuff from the corners
of the fences. Perhaps you have
some that will cut a little grass. Save
it all, you will need it before next
spring.
We have usually succeeded best in
having our hay baled up as soon as
the stacks are out of the sweat; then
we sell at once. After this time the
hay shrinks a good deal, and more
waste must be cut from the outside
of the stacks.
When the day is particularly hot
and trying, and things seem to go at
cross purposes, think of something
pleasant Just draw a mental picture
of the after-harvest outisg that you
and your good wife and your boys
and girls are going to have. Remem
ber that love sweetens labor.
If the farmer is not better than
other men it is his own fault, for he
lives closer to the heart of nature. He
hears the voice of God every day, in
sweet communion with the trees, the
brooks, the sky. He beholds the
glory God has painted; he sniffs fra
grance from Heaven. How can he
help being good?
"It is an ill wind that blows nobody
good," and the hard times have eased
the demand on the labor market, so
that it is now possible to get workers,
and the farmer and his wife may be
able to find some one to help, if it is
only long enough to tide over the ex
tra work that harvest makes in field
and house.
A farm is worth twice as much as
it is worth in dollars and cents.
Those whose work afield requires
their early rising, enjoy the most
beautiful part of the day. The picture
of daybreak illumining the eastern
sky and the sun breaking through the
mists of dawn, is one never to be for
gotten, and it is one so illusive that
painters have tried in vain adequately
to put it on canvas.
A tub or a barrel often drops down
for want of a hoop. If everybody
knew how easy it is to make a hoop
from a wire, perhaps a piece of
waste telegraph wire often seen by
the roadside, the work would not
wait. Simply bend the wire around
the tub to measure it, remove it and
twist it fast. Then drive it on like
a hoop; , drive it fast. It will not
break, and being galvanized will last
indefinitely Farm Journal.
Stimulation With Irritation
That is the watchword. That is
what Orino Laxative Fruit Syrup
does. Cleanses and stimulates the
bowels without irritation in any form.
