MAIL CLERKS MAY HAVE HOMES HERE Ten New Families in Prospect as Result of Shift in Schedule, Ten railway mail clerks now living in Portland and working on the O-W. R. ft N. east of this city may have headquarters in Pendleton in the future if they desire. If they do not live here they will be obliged to "deadhead' from Portland to Pendleton and from this city back to Portland. The men affected are those handling mail on trains 18 and No. S. These trains handle no mail between Pendleton and Portland. Consequently Pen dleton becomes the logical place for the men to live. As all the men have homes in Portland they are said to be reluctant to move at present. Consequently they will be allowed to "dead head" back and forth on their own time. This will mean two days of useless travel for each man every time he goes out up on his run. Under the circum stances it is quite probable that most of the men will move to Pendleton to live as soon as they find a change convenient. The order has been in effect since March 15.
