An Opportunity
FOR
nvestment
Rogue River valley is full of Oil,
Natural Gas, Artesian water and
other valuatile minerals.
Nature's storehouse is bulging
out with wealth and only needs the
magic hand of man to unlock and
reveal the hidden wealth stored up
for the use of the Twentieth Cen
tury.
Our at id lands will produce won
ders if we once can procure Arte
sian water to supply abundance of
water with which to irrigate.
Oil and Natural Gas ate the
greatest economical fuel of this
generation. Shall we Jet it be dor
mant here in Rogue River valley,
while other sections of the country
are using nature's storehouses?
Oregon cannot be beaten any
where in the world, for natural Gas,
Oil or Artesian water. Rogue River
valley is truly the Italy of America.
Here we have the finest climate, the
best apples, the largest peaches
and the prettiest girls.
Shall the people of Grants Pass
forever continue to drink the slime
and slush and sewage that pours
into Rogue river while we can have
the best of Artesian mountain water
by the very simple process of dril
ling a few hundred feet?
What a beautiful city Grants
Pass would be if there were a stream
of pure Artesian water flowing
along each side of her streets.
It is the intention of The Oregon
Natural Gas, Oil & Mining Co. to
soon begin active operation of dril
ling a number ot vlls to the depth
of 1000 feet to ascertain the pres
ence of Natural ,Gas, Oil, Artesian
water and other valuable minerals.
They are now bonding land in
and around Grants Pass. Within
the next six months they will be
drilling on some of the property
they have bouded for that purpose.
They intend if it is possible, to
supply the city with plenty of pure
Artesian water before the coming
fall.
The Oregon Natural Gas, Oil
& Mining Co requests .ill farmers
and property holders to give them
the privilege of drilling one or more
wells on their property. They
will give a percentage of the
output of ihe wells to paities
granting the privilege.
In order to get I he people of
Grants l'ass and Josephine county
interested in Natural Gas, Oil, and
Artesian water they will give all of
them a cli nice to subscribe for a
few shares of the capital stock of,
the company on very liberal terms, j
Suppose you take a few shares of
the capital stock of The Oregon
Natural Gas, Oil & Mining Co. of!
the par value of $1 per share.
You pay 10 per cent, down, 40 per ;
cent, when the machinery is set up
and is ready to begin operation and j
the remaining 50 per cent, when
they strike a flow of natural gas, ,
oil or artesian watet or have drilled :
to the depth of 1000 feet. If they1
strike oil. natural gas or artesian .
water you have the option of tak
ing ten times as many shares asyou
subscribe fot. They will pay you
back all the money received from
you if they fail to drill a well as .
agreed upon. I
You are invited to thoroughly
investigate their proposition. You
have nothing to lose but every
thing to gain. If you are a cap
italist it is a safe investment. If
you are a farmer or property holder
it will pay you to invest as it will
enhance the value of your place a
hundred fold more than you invest
if they should find either oil, gas
or water near your property. If
you are a working man it will pay
you to take shares as this will open
up a vast and a new work for you.
The merchants and business men
should invest in shares in order to
start this enterprise. Professional
men, in fact all classes of people,
should take a few shires in this
vast and new enterprise and it will
be a help to all in Grants Pass and
Josephine county. If you cannot
tak 100 shares you can tak 50 or
ten shares. Remember every dollar
will be returned to you if the com- i
pany fails to drill a well as agreed
upon. The stocks are non-assess-;
able and fully paid up as they are
used. The by-laws of the com
pany do not allow a debt to ex
ceed 1 per cent of the capital. ,
Scott Griffin of Grants Pass, Ore-;
gon, is a stockholder, a director
and the secretary of The Natural
Gas, Oil & Mining Co, who will;
take leases on lands and subscrip-(
tion for stocks and will give any ,
information regarding the company. :
The closer you investigate the
more you w ill help the company by
taking stock and leasing your prop-1
erty for the purpose of arilling one
or more wells thereupon as you
have nothing to lose but all togain.

Question Answered.
Yes, August Flower still lias the
lamest eale of any medicine in the civil
ized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing ele for Indirection or Biliousness
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostra
tion or Heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the system
and plop fermentation of undigested food,
regulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic, action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and had with headaches and
other aches. You only need a few doses
of tireen's August Flower, in liquid form,
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you, Uet
Green's Prise Almanac.
MalurU Causes Biliousness.
Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic removes
the cause.

where in the vicinity of Pine and Bur

report In regard to sprinkling the streets
and a subscription list was read, signed
by business men with the amounts that

street sprinkling were submitted by S.
Nor.ou, J. C. Harper and J. W. Coflmaii.
It was decided to refer the matter
again to the street committee to obtain
subscriptions from a greater number of
business men. A motion was made thai
city would contribute not lo exceed 1!0
of the monthly expense of sprinkling
This motion passed, with two disseniing
voles. The estimated cost is about $100
per month.

School Notes.
On a viaitto the school in district No.
23, I found the room well filled with
busy children. This school had one
more week lo continue. The teacher,
Mr. Hobbins. informed me there would
be seven scholars to receive diplomas
of honor. To these seven I shall be
very proud to issu said diplomas.
Mrs. Ida Savage is teaching the Jones
Creek school. The achool board of that
district understand and appreciate the
good work done by Mrs. Savage and
have shown it by employing her con
tinually. In the school of district No. 23 I found
the teacher so busy that she did not
know I was in the room until fifteer.
minutes passed by. I was much pleased
to see some of the work of our institute
out into practice and I want to compli
ment the teacher, Miss FMna Harvey,
and the school on the good results.
School in district No. 2(1 closed Fri
day. The scholars and the teacher
closed the school by taking an excursion
to Rogue river where the children en
joyed their school exercises and picnic
dinner.
I ain in receipt ot a letter from Prof.
McCoiinell, at Wildervillc, stating (hat
his school will close next Friday and for
me to issue three diplomas of honor for
his scholars. These diplomas are veiy
nice and they are great incentives to get
lierfeet attendance.
County Treasurer, J. T. Taylor, in
forms me that the clerks of district Nos.
21, 2li, 37 and 42 have not presented
their orders for the January apportion
ment. I) strict clinks should r m imber
that these orders should bo presented as
8o.)ii as possible and save bother arid
unnecessary trouble. The same applies
in case of receipts to the county superin
tendent. To every school clerk I send a
blank receipt when an apportionment Is
made. It seems lo be but Utile trouble
for clerks, immediately upon getting
the order, to sign this receipt and mail it
to me. Lincoln Savauk,
