' Baker, Aug. 18. One of the most important local business changes the nresent year was recorded yesterday, with the filing of articles of incorpor. ation by the Baker Mill & uram com pany. . The new corporation is a con solidation of the Oregon Mill A Grain company of this city and uie noca Creek Milling company, the main of fices of which have been here, but who;! plant is located at Kock creen. By the terms of the consolidation of these two large Baker county inuu tries they will join forces in the mill ing and grain business under a direc torate composed of the former direc tors of the individual companies.

The Bock Creek Milling, company is also a well establisnea Dusiiiess both companies have enjoyed a greatly : nntrnnare . tne- pav years, with the result that the capacity of both mills has been mcreas uu- 1r. The mill in Baker is a tineiy equip-, ped mode plant with a daily capa-1 city of 250 barrels, while the Rock Creek plant is a 75-barrel mill, also equipped with the latest and most mod- ern milling machinery. "The semrii' mill work of the new company will be in charge of J. W. Scholl, one of thej directors, and for several years in I charge of the Rock Creek mill. The new corporation is cw.ia.." at $45,000, and the following con rtitnte tho board of directors: C. B, Stout, W. W. Stevens, J. W. SchqJJ. W. Stuchell and C. E. Porter.
