BRANCH DISTRICT OFFICE.
Eastern Oregon AtUrneys Can Now
Send Legal Papers to rendleton.
A branch office for . the United
States district and circuit court for
Oregon will be opened la Pendleton
tomorrow, according to the East
Oregonian. Mrs. Vlda Johnston,
deputy clerk in both these courts, is
here and will be in charge of the
local office, which is located In room
12 In the Smith-Crawford building. .
Before coming to Pendleton. Mrs.
Johnston served as deputy clerk for
the federal court In the Portland of
fice for two years and is therefore
familiar with the duties which will
devolve upon her in her new position.
She is now seeking a man for the
position of deputy United States mar
shal, who is to be a resident of this
city.'. , ; . .,'v
. Mrs. Johnston says the firBt Jury
term of the federal court In Pendle
ton will probably he held here the
first week in December. There will
be no cases tried at that time, how
ever," In which the government is a
party, but only those between indi
viduals and over which the govern
ment has jurisdiction. This rule will
probably be changed somewhat after
the federal building is completed and
the court Is provided with its own
quarters. Until this building is erect
ed the trials will all occur at the
county ' court house. Mrs. Johnston
does not believe, however, that there
will be any sessions of the grand Jury
here. , '
The deputy clerk desires all local
and other eastern Oregon attorneys
to send their papers to her instead of
sending them to Portland as injhe
past. , ;
