Swiss Not Lecturing for Money Alone, But for the Good of the Cause Very Pleasant and Entertaining A Rapid Talker. Mies Ellen M. Stone, the famous missionary whose capture and deten . tlon by tho brigands of the Turkish I empire Is still fresh In the minds of I the American public, was registered at the St. George last evening. She I Is a very pleasant lady of middle age and a rapid talker. When, the Book er after newn was presented the wo- mnn, who Is giving her time nda ef fort for the cause of the oppressed In heathen lands, rose and greeted him In a way that at once put him at his ease. "I am glad you came," she said. "You see I have become as near a neighbor to the East Oregonian as I could. You do not Tmow how much It pleases me that my work seems to please the people. I did say that I could not leave my mother again after my last trip on the lecture Hold, but so many wcrn the calls that I consid ered It my duty to come. My mother Is 90, and I felt tut though I couldn't leave her again after the strain of my captivity. She does not read or write now, an her eyes were so Injured by her weeping during the time I wns In the nandB of the brigands that she cannot Bee." "What becime of your companion. Miss Stone?'' she was asked. The lady clasped her hands together and her eyes giew moist with feeling. "Oh, I wish I knew," she cald. "I see that a gloat many of the refugees nro reported to bo escaping from the country, and among tho number Is said to be Vnilam Tsllka and the fa mous baby. Wouldn't I love to see that baby alter all that we endured together. It in almost a miracle that that little thing lived. It was ho cold nnd the men wanted to move us when the snow wns so deep and tho wind was howllnf. around the mountain cabin where they had as. ,That was alter tho ransom had been paid and It -was simply a matter of llfoor death with us. We did not know whether -wo would over get out alive or not. Whon they told ub that wo had to be ready to move In the morning, I took a firmer Btand than over before for the sake of the baby. The little thine was so young and the mother 1 was weak. Wo had a little sack lined wth cotton wool and wo would warm It and put the baby in. we nau , Just oue safety pin, nnd we used that to pin tne sack bdoui tne uaoy s uwn.. Then they had no saddles on the horses, nnd we had to sit without any way of holding on and carry the child In the hollow of our arras. I got a bad fall one day. The men had put me on a big woodon-leggod horse that had no spring at all, and be stepped in a hole and I fell over back wards. 1 couldn't fall clear off, for I was tied on, but It wrenched my knee very badly. Dut I saved the baby. "Many people think I am In this work for the money," she continued, "but I am afraid that the proceeds will tell a sorry story when the bal ance sheets are finished."

She Is one of tho truly good women df the coun try and places the welfare of her work above personal wishes or com rort. Her Address. A full house, considering the otlier attractions In the city, greeted MIsb Stone at the First Christian church last evening. After her Introduction by the pastor, sho started at once up-, on the subject of her lecture. "I am colnc to tnke you across the ', ocean," sho said, "to the land of Paul. The land the apostle saw in his vis-' Ion when no was told to go out into Macedonia. I want to take you to Bulgaria. I want to show you thp 1 young mothers nnd the old mothers of thnt country. Some so old and jet so earnest In tho work of their new faith that they have lenrncd. at the age of 70 years to spoil out the teachings of the Bible to their child ren and their grandchildren. From 1898 I have confined my attention to ' that aart of. Bulgnrln still under the 1 most despotic rule of Turkey.

"Vy, tire plK's fe't nnd Ires feet make vun yard, ain't It" In God's country, as the people call it. Mr. Tsllka wanted to go to Alba nia, but Mrs. Tsllka clung to her mother and her dead boy. and finally decided to go with me. Had sho fol lowed the pleadings of her husband she would not hnvc fallen Into tho hands of the brigands. "In Turkey the thing of first Im portance Is your passport. Having seeuml ours we started on our Jour ney. My task wns more difficult, since I liflfl In mv rnr Kr mnnv. girls.

MUs Stone followed out the ttrjl i uvr uunuwiuf experiences tju great vividness and force, Sis, hi her story, surely has, and will cal Unite to exert a great infinence oa tirl missionary cause or tne world. The Chance of a Lifetime to Invest in Stocks in the COLUMBIA RIVER DEVELOPMENT CO. At 10 per cent of par value. Shares may be had for 10 cents Natural Gas Discovered on Columbia River, near Alder Creek, Washington, and Castle Rock, Oregon. The Columbia River Development Company. Incorporated under the Laws ef the State of Oregon. Capital Stock $1,500,000. Dollar each. Absolutely non-assessable. No individual liability. Home office, ARLINGTON, OREGON. i,5oo,ooo Shares, One Management The management of the affairs of the company will at alljtimes.be conservative and progressive. Every dollar realized from the sale of stock will ' be accounted for. Only the legitimate expenses of operating the company will be paid. The officers and directors of the company do not draw any salary at present. Shares Absolutely Non-Assessable Are your shares non-assessable? Yes, made so by the By-Laws of the company, which forbid the board of di rectors from incutring one dollar of indebtedness. There are no bonds, no preferred stock, no debts. Oar Field, Its Location and Indications Right here on the banks of the Columbia River in Eastern Washington and Oregon, where thousand of acres of sagebrush and bunch grass lands are awaiting human energy for development, a discovery of gas has been made less than a year ago. In a dozen places in the vicinity of Alder Creek, Washington, and Castle Rock, Oregon, illumating gas has been escaping for years through the surface soil. The gas can be burned for hours. Only recently some of the gas coming through the surface soil has'been confined in large tanks and con veyed 'by pipe lines to several cabins, where it is being used for fuel as well' as light. Surely no other oil field has displayed such excellent indications, Oil experts have thoroughly examined the ground and pronounced the prospect very good. We intend to drill 2000 feet if necessary but from all indications about 1000 feet will be sufficient depth. All money obtained will be used for de veloping purposes, purchasing of additional machinery and other necessary expenses. No expensive salaried officials are attached to this organization. It, is strictly a home company organized by home capital. A limited amount of stock has been placed on the market at ten (10) cents per share. If this property develops into a gusher or even into a moderate producer it will mean not only a big profit to investors at present prices tof stock, but it -will' onean much to this section, ltwjill hiring moneyyntolUrriatilla Cousty. ' Arid lands, which at the present time produce very scant crops, could be irrigated and thereby increase their product tenfoid by having water pumped from the Columbia river with the help of. .gas and oil for fuel. Think of the vast benefits to this region. The test of oil as a steam-producing fuel was made years ago; it is noth ing new; its value has been well established, and the only thing needed to bring it into universal use was the dis covery of an inexhaustible supply. Oil fires a boiler three and one-half times quicker than coal; has a greater efficiency and cleanliness; requires less room and is far cheaper. Railroads, steamships and manufacturers, commerce of every description finds greater saving pos sible by the nse of fuel oil, Actire Operations One of the largest, modern standard drilling rigs has been put into operation near the Washington side of the Columbia river. Out Drillers Our drillers are old experienced men at the business, and if there is any possible way of getting results, we are positive that they will accomplish such. It is the univeral opinion that the surface indications compare favorably with any of the gas and oil fields in the United States. Several experts who have investigated the discovery make this report. General Manager on the Field Ross Beardsley, our efficient Vice-President, and one of the first discov erers of the gas, is in charge of the company's interests on tne drilling ground. A more en thusiastic and earnest worker, fully alive to the interests of all the stockholders, could not be found anywhere. Fortunes in Oil The wealth made and to be made in the production and marketing of oil is likewise so apparent that . it is almost needless to recite the" figures and comparison". 'No' other proposition, has ever supplied such riches! as -have oil wells for the amount of time and money' invested in;, them. Oil is so easily handled after a well is secured .and so;short a time is needed before results can be obtained, that itlis thequic kest dividend bearer- The Standard Oil Company in 1897, r8g8i 1899, 1900, 1901 and the first part of 1902, have paid $202,000,000 in dividends. . .
