Long of Cottage Grove, who has a pat ent hulling process, was the first to appear on the scene and offer to build a mill if the people would subscribe $10. 000 in stock, the remaining $6,000 to be rurniahed by himseir. Tne people are a little skeptical about the new hulling process, but are willing to do their part toward securing tne suu-Darrei mm. Fred Walters n son of Pendleton were In the city Sunday Investigating the opportunities of erecting a 500-bar-rel mill. They did not submit any con ditions upon which they would start a mill but the business men of the town have expressed their willingness to do nate a suitable location If they will lo cate here. Mr. Walters owns a 500 barrel mill at Pendleton and la familiar with the conditions which would war rant the establishment of a mill. At present there Is not enough wheat grown in tls vicinity to supply a mill, But If the farmers were assured of a local market for their produce the next ?ear would see a much larger acreage n Baker county.

Friends of William Breunle, the cab inet maker of 1202 East Twentieth street, Los Angeles, who mysteriously disappeared in the southern California metropolis on Thursday night, August IS, have asked the local police to assist tnem in tne search ror the missing man. On the night Breunle disappeared he visited his fiancee. Miss Martha Wis- mar, at her home, 1606 Ban tee street, and left the house with the intention of going to his lodgings. After leaving the Wlsmar residence all trace or Breunle has been lost. He was known to have had $200 in cash on his person and several nights prior to hla disap pearance an unknown man was seen prowling about the rear of the Breunle house. The case has so far baffled the Los Angeles police, as no motive for his disappearance can be found. His mar riage to Miss Wlsmar was to have oc curred within a few weeks and he had already secured a home W ' which to Install his bride-to-be. It la thought that Breunle may have come to Port. land and all patrolmen have been noti fied to keep a lookout for the man. PRITCHARD DECIDES THAT HE WAS RIGHT (Special Dlftpatch to The Joornal.) Baker City. Or.. Aug. 27. That this city ia the best lighted of Its size west of the Mississippi river Is the opinion expressed by many traveling men who nave peen over tne country ana visitea numberless towns. Main street Is made almost as light as day by the brilliant Illumination from 1,200 Incandescent lights covering a distance of four blocks. The lights are strung both across the streets and along the sides. They were furnished by the Baker Light A Power company free of charge while the carnival was here this sum' mer and after the carnival the mer chants liked the lighting so well that they appointed a committee, of which Carl Adler was chairman, to interview the business men and raiso sufficient funds to have the lights left In place. The necessary pledges ror 1100 per month were soon raised and Baker now has the distinction of having its main streets lighted the best of any city in Oregon.
