Pendleton appoints J T Brown postmaster
James T. Brown, 35, a longtime Pendleton water superintendent, is named postmaster by President Roosevelt at the suggestion of Senator Fulton and Rep-elect Filia. Brown's salary rises to 2500 yearly from 2400 on July 1. His background in Bates County Missouri and years with the water works are noted as factors in the appointment. Livermore, the outgoing postmaster, will hand over the office in good condition. The change prompts calls for a new water-department deputy with Charles French planning to attend Chicago.
