These goods on sale were saved from Tuesday night's big and disastrous conflagration. The goods must be sold in ten days, and I have paid no attention to original cost. The loss falls on the insurance companies. Owing
to the fact that no one merchant saved enough goods from his store to justify him holding a sale, they were turned over to me by the insurance companies, and I must dispose of five combined stocks, and I have only ft.
few days in which to do it. Read the list below. No other fire sale can compete with my prices. (Signed) LEE A. BERTILLION, Manager for the United Merchants and Insurance Co. (formerly manager Chicago Clo. Co.)

Ontario, Or.. July 81. In securing
the final leases to practically 16,000
acres of oil and gas lands In the imme

pletely checking the efforts of repre
sentatives of the Standard Oil to break
up the company by leasing in advance,
the Cooperative Gas Oil company of
this place lays claim to the credit of
A "Sunny Jim" Doll FREE.

form of a delightfully funny cloth doll, and we will send this to
anyone mailing us 2 trade-marks from our regular size "FORCE"
packages, and enclosing 4c in stamps to cover postage. These
dolls are made of tough linen, 15 inches high, and printed in five

being the only concern In the country
which has successfully combated the
Rockefeller octopus.
The local company has virtually "sewed
up" the country and September 1 will
begin active drilling for both oil and
gas, the latter already being found here
In large quantities. The company has
been organized by local business men
who will bear the burden of drilling
tour shafts. Machinery Is arriving
from the east and the derrick." will be
In place and ready for operation within
30 days.
By forestalling the efforts of repre
sentatives of the Associated Oil com
panies, a subsidiary organisation con
trolled by the Standard, who were sent
here several weeks ago to lease lands
In this section, the home company Is
assured of continuous work and imme
diate profit to the home people.
Natural gas flows from more than 40
water wells In the vicinity of Ontario,
und whether oil is struck or not. the
natural gas will be conserved for light
ing and heating purposes
Little doubt Is entertained that oil
In paying quantities will be found as
soon as the shale formation is pierced.
This Is the opinion expressed bv tfox
ens of oil experts who have recently
visited Ontario, and Is further evi
denced by the diligent efforts made by
the Standard people to lease a large
acreage and freeze out the home com
pany. Mine Inspector Bell of Idaho and
Harvey Hlgglns, a noted oU expert of
Heaumont, have both been impressed
by the prospects here. Mr. Htggina,
after a recent visit here, said:
"I have ben In all the prominent oil
fields of the fnited States and have
seen bnly two flplils In which Indications
were as ravoraole as here. i nelleve
that von will have one of the biggest

been struck.''
