Good brew ing quality la bringing about $1.20, while Inferior grades are worth as low as $1,10 for feeding purposes. There Is not a very large supply of barley In the country at the present time and farmers who have it on hand have lit tie difficulty in disposing ,' of their holdings. ' ' Mill feed H so scarce that a price can hardly be quoted. Where there la any to be had the- top price can be obtained. Local millers were tukiu bran at $24 per tin, shorts $25 per ton, and rolled barley at $27. The cause of the long continued scarcity In the supply of mill feed Is the dullness In the export flour trade. III JAIL Walla Walla. Aug. 20.

But as he made his exit from the saloon, Jesse Lleual- len, who had been deputized by Bher Iff Haviland, arrested him, and escort ed hlra to the county Jail, where he Is being held awaiting Instructions from the Falls City authorities, on whose orders the arrest was made. In response to questions asked him In the county Jail by Mrs. Brlttan last night, Breen said that the reason he was unable to produce the child with in the given time Monday afternoon, was due to the fact that he had mlsln terpreted the signals which had been flashed to him by members of the horse-thieving gang who had the boy. Later he said that If Mr. and Mrs. Brlttan and Deputy Sheriff Butler had romalned at Tollgate until S o'clock, Instead of returning to Walla Walla at 6, the child would then have been delivered, as he returned with the boy at that time and found the camp deserted. He then took the child to Fletcher's mill, where It Is being kept for him. That Breen has been after what money he could secure Is evident from the fact that a few days ago he told Mr. and Mrs. Brlttan that before he could deliver the boy to them, they must pay him 50 cents per day for the care of the toy since he had been kid naped. The money required for this purpose aggregated tome $285. Be lieving thnt there was still an oppor tunity to secure more cash, Breen evi dently returned to the city last night with hte Intention of securing the money for the boy's care,, and hoped to escape before his presence here had been discovered.
