Vale Oil Fields.

The future of the Vale oil fields
from a commercial standpoint is now
an assured fact.
The crude product all of palifine
base and most valuable of all crude
oils for refining purposes is the reward
now of the men who have worked
Dersistently night and day for the
past year been drilling with expen-
sive special machinery and high
priced labor to obtain the results now
within their reach. Of the six COM
panies now drilling four have sue
ceeded beyond any doubts in obtain
ing at depths ringing from 900 to 100
feet a stream of the liquid wealth
that will assure the stockholders of
those companies huge return on their
investments and the most fourishing
times of Beaumont. Teaxs. and Coal
inga, CAL. will be surpassed in the
Vale oil fields in eastern Oregon in
the near future.
Plans for pipe line to tidewater
and an immense refinery to handle
the product are now being promul-
gated and it is the unqualified opinion
of several of the lea7ing expert oil
geoRolists who have recently exported
the fields that oregon will become in
1910 the largest oil producing section
in the United States.
The Eastern Oregon Oil 8 Gas Co.
is credited with having the largest
flow of oil with the Columbia Oil &
Gas Co. close second, while the
Mammoth OIL & Gas Co.. with their
immense holdings of 1000 acres. will
no doubt top them all. Stockholders
who have secured holdings Of shares
in these companies have in some
cases realized 100 to 200 per cent
profit on their investments and the
stocks of any of the above named
companies say business men and
bankers who are qualified to know are
splendid investments at present
prices. and 1000 shares secured now
may mean fortune a little later on.
The United States government will
shortly survey the fields officially
and then will be witnessed an influx
of investors. capitalists. manu-
facturers. etc. that will add 200, 600
population and millions inves ted in
this the greatest IN developed empire
in America.

A STORY told at police headquarters
"A by Clarence Davis of Glenallen,
Va. recalled to older members Of the
force the day when confidence men
had full sway here. The Virginian
related that three men had inveigled
him into matching twenty-five-cent
pieces in a room at the Raleigh hotel,
and that they had disappeared. one Of
them taking SASS belonging to him.
When Davis reached the city and
he registered at a hotel near John
Marshall place and Pennsylvania ave-
nue., he was seated on the coping at
the northwest corner of Pennsylvania
avenue and 18th street when a strang-
or spoke to him. He did not hesitate
to tell the stranger he was from near
Richmond, and the latter said he was
acquainted with people in Richmond.
The Virginian informed the strang-
er that he was thinking of going to
New York, and that he was a brick
layer by trade.
$50 am a bricklayer," the stranger
said. "and I'm out of work"

sApYs sKlN TORTURE

When our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in AtchIson
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands we're solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept US awake all
hours OF the night and bis health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally got set of the Cuticura

we did not use all Of them until he
was cured. We have waited year
and a half to see II 1t would return

be. l hope Cuticura may save some
