gave him the designation. Before the
result was announced, changes were
made which gave McClellan 202
votes to 2s votes for Thomas H.
Seymour. All the votes for Seymour
came from Ohio, Indiana and the
"border states." The McClellan nom
ination was made unanimous on mo
tion of the famous "bitter ender,'
Vallandlgham of Ohio.
Two ballots settled the vlce-presl
dency. James Guthrie of Kentucky
(who has been Douglas' chief oppo
nent for the presidential nomination
in the regular convention of 1860) led
on the first ballot In a field of eight
candidates. On the second ballot,
however, Guthrie's name was with.
drawn, and this - habit Immediately
became so contagious that George H,
Pendleton of Ohio (who had been
runner-up on the first ballot) was
unanimously chosen.
McClellan and Pendleton were later
defeated at the polls by Lincoln and
Johnson.

Company " M"
Boys Make Good
Record In Camp
Camp Lewis, Wash., July 13. In
mis ivi company, Salem s
own .unit or the Fifth Oregon infan
try, failed to secure first daily recogl
tion in inspection reports.
ror neatness of barracks, neatness
or Kitcnen, quality of meals served,
personal appearance of men, effi
ciency in drill and formations, tne
company is rated as leader.
By reason of the fact that very few
of this organization are previous serv
ice men, only two men went out as
competitors in the rifle shoot. This is
me mg event of the encampment, 40
of the best marksmen in the Oregon
guard taking part in the tryouts.
First Sergeant John T. Welsh and
Private Raymond Brunkel are repre
senting m company in the meet. Sgt.
Welsh, who secured exceptional rating
with the Oregon team at Camp Perry
during the 1918 national shoot for IT. I
S. military entrants, had qualified n
all ranges Monday. Private Brunkel,
although a new man, Is being encour
aged to remain in the shoot.
With these two marksmen- M com
pany hopes to come In for leading hon.
ors in nnal marksman qualifications.
During each day of the past week,
Cook Harry Plant has steadilv main
tained the company's record for best
Kitcnen and most attractive menu.
Sunday, the Salem men enjoyed the
only camp-baked pie of the ten kitch
ens. Cook Plant demonstrating that
he can certainly qualify on the pasry
end of the game. Captain Hewlett has
had to give a firm negative to requests
from staff officer for his chef as a
cook at staff mess. Harry is also loath
to leave the Salem boys In the lurch.

all trades and instead of more consum
ers, why not let it be emnloved in nro-
ducing more of the necessaries of life
and thus cut clown the cost of living.
The cost of road building ls fully leu
per cent higher than It was a few years
'ago and bonds we are told are selling
below par and the probability that thi
building of roads will cost much less
In a very short time when we get back
to normal conditions when our money
will build from 60 to 100 per cent
more miles of road than now. We
heard one of our wise solons say that
the automobiles absolutely build every
miles of road, but he failed to say
that they took the automobiles out of
the general list of taxation and placed
them on a license basis. All the pro
ceeds to go to the road fund and rob
bing the schools, thug compelling us
to tax ourselves to support the schools.
Let this be as it will, there ls, however,
a limit to finances and why not wait a
lltle longer and get more good roads
per dollar. There will be bad roads
left but let us have as many miles of
good roads as we can get for the mon-1

First of all this is NOT a stock proposition, it is the outright ownership of leases covering the
jil and gas rights of Texas lands. It is a large leasing enterprise in which you have an opportun
ity to share in the profits. A number of local individuals combine in a syndicate to purchase a
iarge amount of acreage in several of the most promising locations of the State. Units in this
syndicate $100 each You elect your trustees anj CONTROL YOUR investment. YOUR MONEY
S PAID TO A TRUST COMPANY AND A TRU3T FUND IS HELD UNDER THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF OREGON, guaranteeing the return of a sum which, with interest earnings, will
exceed over half your investment should all our holdings fail to prove up. The law of averages
.nakes this improbable.
A Portland business man is today offered a profit of $8,500 on his lease on a downtown location.
Development around his lease has made this profit possible. Four wells in four counties in
which we have leases in the last 30 days proves oar locations are right and that we are in the
path of progress. :
Dur leases were taken ahead of production and are now being made valuable by the development
around them. Millions are now being spent in drilling around our leases and every well brought
'.n near our holdings increases the value. '
Profits of 500 per cent and even more are not uncommon. Only two weeks ago $200,000 cash was
paid for a lease bought eight moths ago for $400.
United States Geological Survey reports show th it 77 per cent of all wells drilled in Texas today
ire producers that Texas increased production last year over 100 per cent that 31 per cent of
the country's refining is done in Texas and that 50 per cent of THE NEW REFINERIES NOW
BEING CONSTRUCTED IN THE U. S. ARE IN TEXAS A VERY SIGNIFICANT FACT. WE
ARE NOT SELLING OUT. WE ARE HOLDING ONE FIFTH OF ALL LEASES WITH YOU
AND THE TRUST FUND IS HELD FOR YOUR PROTECTION EXCLUSIVELY NOT OURS.
