MOWRE BACK FROM EASTERN TRIP J "7" Rev." K." H. Mowre has returned from an extended eaatern trip, during which 1 he attended tha sessions of the general conference oC the M. E. church, south, - st Birmingham, Alabama. While east Tha atorr of Jonas disappearance waa first told In Tha Journal of May IS, but at that time it was thought hs had prob ably suddenly left the olty on buslnesj and would . return In a day or more. Days have paased and the mystery deep ens, and with It 1b developed the grow ing belief .hat the contractor mat -with foul play. . .. On Baturdeyr-May-llr-Jonea,. wno was engaged In the cement contracting busi ness -Intnia lty with JYQarrlson. made collectlona on his personal ac counta. amounting to about 180. Ha re turned to hia home end left $30 with his mother and then came back to' town and settled several small bills. In the evening he visited Miss Berntoa Curtis, whoae home Is within 10 minuter walk of the Jones residence. At about -11:41 o'clock, according to Mlas Curtis, Jones bade the young woman good-bye. saying ho would see her the following after noon and that he waa going straight home, aa It was getting along toward midnight. This was the last seen or hrd of htm; ' -The Portland polios were notified on May 11 of the young man's atrange dis appearance. - and : detectives - were : sent out with Horace Jones Br. to go over tha ground between Flrland snd Wood mere, where It wsa thought that Jones Jr. might have been waylaid by a thug and . atruck down. Every . bit of road and woods .between the Jones home and the home of Mls Curtis' was carefully examined in the hdpe that some clue to the missing man might be fdund. Port land resorts were acoured, -although' It waa known that the young man was not Iw-the hablt-of vlslUng saloons snd tha low places -of the city for there re mained Just the faintest possibility that he might have fallen from grace. The only evidence that tends to show that Jones may-have been alive on tha morning of May !Sa that a clerk In tha clgn restore at First and Morrison; jrho claims that he knew the contractor by stgpt, says that he thlnka he saw Jonea In ihe cigar store.. early in the morning of the date mentioned. It is possible that the young man, "who ' IS an ardent admirer .of army life and who was a member of the Oregon National Guard, may""havegoneawsy-to' enlist" In the regular army. Friends of the family say that It Is likely that Jonea and Mlas Curtis quarreled, and that Jones deter mined to tske some rash step to clear his mind of sir thought of Portland and his sweetheart. "Mr. Jones snd TTwere on the best of terms." says Miss Curtis In answer to this theory. "He could not possibly have taken offense at anything I had said .or done. -The - missing man' a parents have looked over the recorda of the army re cruiting offices, and thus far . have found j no descriptions . of , siryr-fclml among the - recruit papers that would answer to those of their eon.' They still aanere to the theory of foul play.

This cfiange, according to aome of tha laadlngflocknaatersJs prlnclpallydue to tne advanced price of wool and reut ton and If the price of cattle does not Improve there la apt to be a decrease, at least among the large herds. - Wool growers of this section of the slate, aa far aa can be learned, have not contracted a single-pound of wool on the sheep's back, although some of them were approached last fall. , At that time off era were made from 11 to 11 cents. Growers ,for the most part are stsuncn in tneir peiicr that x cents will be about the minimum price for ordinary-wool, while wool f extra long staples rree rrom breaks and reasonably free from dirt will bring 1 or 1 cents better. The past winter was favorsble for sheep and the fleeces will be heavier and of better quality. The bulk of the wool will be shipped to the eaatern sea board without delay In transit for bal ing. Experience has taught both grower and buyer that baling is unnecessary and causes needless delay unless the wool comes from a territory where there Is a baling- plant In operation. High school AE.
