'....'. ' . ...... . .- . IB m THE f OREGON" SUNDAY JOURNAU PORTLAND." SUNDAY CORNING, MARCH 8, 1908. at Fendleton Man Selected for Federal Attorney Due in Portland Today. John McCourt. of Pendleton, who has been cUoion by the Oregon delegation In congress to succeed, W. C. Bristol m United States attorney for Oregon, will reach Portland today from Pendleton for a visit of several day. . , While It not known what brings Mr. McCourt to Portland at this time It Is believed that he la comtng to ac quaint himself with the conditions ur oundlng tho district attorney's office and to lookPover the field of what ap pears to bo' his future dutlus. No word has come from Washington reicardlng the appointment of Mr. Mc Court since the announcement was made that the delegation had united on him and sent his name to the president. It "Is believed, however, that President Koosevelt will send the name to the senate tomorrow, or early In the week ana that the senate will take immedi ate action upon the recommenuauon. It Is certain that as soon as Mr. Mc Courfs nam Is sent to the senate. Senator Fulton will urge that Immedi ate action be taken and that the choice of the delegation be confirmed and Mr. McCourt allowed to assume charge of the office In Portland. As Senator Fulton Is the chairman of the Judiciary Vcommlttee, which will have the matter In hand once It la sent to the senate, It would appear almost certain that the confirmation of the Pendleton appointee will follow close on the heels of the nomination by the president GAS USERS Oil EAST SIDE PREFERJTO WALK Company Receives Little En couragement in Support of Branch Offices. (Journal East Side office, 0 East Morrison street. Telephones Pa cific. East 8393; Home, B-2444.) L. A. Klein, manager of the Portland Gas company, says little encourage ment la being received from east side consumers relative to the establishment of sub pay stations at different points on the east side. A circular has been sent out accompanied with a postal card for reply purposes, but less than 100 replies had been received Saturday afternoon. , "Should the stations be established, said Mr. Klein, "It will be optional with the east side patrons whother they pay on that eld of the river or the west side. The matter Is for their conveni ence alone and It depends upon the east side residents altogether whether the step Is taken. Of course If the east side consumers do not want these pay stations on the east side We would be foolish to go to the extra expense of establishing thorn." The business men In the different nf tii tiLnt Hide are strongly I urging the consumers of gus to reply j to the courteous requesi ui mo n, pany as It will be a means of retaining much cash on the east sll It will save In many instances trips to the went side to pay bills. The gas company expects to place stations at several central points, .Sun livside. Alblna and every place where enough consumers wish it. The step wi8 taken by the manngp mmt of t lie conip.iny as the result of a requet t by the Kast Bide Business Men's club. !
