THERE seems to be considerable doubt as
to who will act as postmaster here for the
next few months. Mr.. Orcutt has sent in
his resignation and last Wednesday the
president sent to the senate the nomination
of Henry l.. Kenyon to fill the vacancy, but
the senate adjourned without acting on Mr..
Kenyon's nomination. There seems now to
be some uncertainty whether the president
will appoint Mr.. Kenyon to the office and
whether, if he should, Mr.. Kenyon would
want to accept and run his chances on being
confirmed by the senate in December. Mr.
Orcutt will, of course, remain until his
successor is appointed.
