is a Good Investment
Will Advertise Along Con-
servatiAe Lines.

The prestige and financial standingof
the above officers and directors, as well
as the long list Of equally sound and
hard-headed stockholders, proves that
The Investment Society Of Oregon has
the full confidence Of the best men In
the community and the general public.
These do not consist Of few, but Of
large body Of strong men bound to-
gether and to each other for the accom-
plishing of specific work Of develop
ment and Improvement.
FACTS.
Its directors are among the best
known business men. stock men and
farmers Of Eastern Oregon, and many
of them from long residence and expe-
rience in this country are experts in
real estate values.
Its security is the earth itself.
No speculation, no booming, but con-
servative buying, holding and improy-
ing; rich soil and other natural resources
for increase; well balanced, well man
aged; progressive. but conservative and
prudent in all.
The Society seeks the investment and
cooperation of those who can see
great chance for advancement in values
when more people and more transpor-
tation facilities are induced to come
here. and those who can see for them
selves a good and certain return.
Good management IS depended on in
all things for the best results, and good
management The Investment Society
of Oregon has and must always have.
PLANS AND PURPOSES OF THIS
SOCIETY.
1t is formed for the purpose Of ac-
quiring and establishing a permanent
Efund large enough to handle invest
ments and development work here in
our own community. and thus keep
among ourselves the profit on some Of
the great advances in values which we
know are coming in the near future
| First, for purchasing or securing op-
tions on land, improving same and
selling at an advance; for breeding
buying and selling various kinds Of
stock, and for buying. selling and leas-
sing or holding stock or wheat land in
the state of Oregon.
Second, for purchasing, erecting or
constructing water dams. reservoirs.
canals, acqueducts. or in other ways, in
and by which the water procured from
rivers, creeks and springs, or any of
the same, can be utilized for the nur-
poses of producing electric power, fur
nishingA cities, towns or villages with
same, or for other general purposes, as
supplying farmers, miners and others
with domestic and irrigating water or
power.
Third, for merchandising and ware
housing.
Fourth, for buying town lots or acre
tracts, plating and laying out of town
sites and colony tracts and selling same.
Fifth, for purchasing, selling, leasing.

les in the state Of Oregon. or whatever
investment presenting itself to the
board of directors appears to be the
best for quick and certain returns.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.
The Investment Society of Oregon
has secured an option for one year to
purchase the Mayville Touring mill.
The mill has been thoroughly over
hauled and put in operation under the
management of Mr.. lsbell. an expe-
rienced miller, and is running at its
capacity of fifty barrels per day.
This move in itself is q good one, it
being the only one in operation in the
county. 1t fills long needed want for
the Mayville community. and if the
| option proves sound one the same
viii be taken up as business invest
ment at the end of one year.
/ Options have been taken on several
of the large farm tracts of the fertile
Mayville fat at prices which cannot fail
to materially advance within year.
i The active officers Of the Society have
sought out and taken options on many
arabic and irrigated lands along the fer
title valleys of the John Day river and
its tributaries. This district being as
yet far removed from railroad trans
portation has been overlooked by the
landseekers who have swept the North
west for the past number of years.
, Statistics show that $4,000 people
have made their homes in Oregon
. within the last twelve months but
almost none of these have discovered
