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

also a well establisnea Dusiiiess
both companies have enjoyed a greatly
: nntrnnare . tne- pav

of both mills has been mcreas uu-

equipped with the latest and most mod-
ern milling machinery. "The semrii'
