DODD LOSES BY TH R EE VO TES IN LEGISLATIVE RA CE EXTREMELY LIGHT VOTE CAST HERE The final count in the legislative race between O. L. Babcock and E. P. Dodd shows that the local candidate lost by three votes. Unofficial count the day after the election showed Babcock in the lead by eight votes but this was cut down to three in the official count early in the week. Dodd has sent his congratulations to Bab cock and Engdahl, the successful candidates, the latter winning by a large majority. Engdahl polled 2031 votes: Babcock, 1236; Dodd, 1233, and Grant, 633. Dodd received 62 per cent of the highest vote cast in the east end of the county in the four cornered race and broke nearly even in Pendleton. In the west end where he received his largest majority, an extremely light vote was cast. He also won the dem ocratic write-in nomination but will be unable to accept it, being four votes short of election on the repub lican ticket.

NEAR DROWNING MARS OUTING Leonard Mopps, local high school student, received his last lesson of the school term last Thursday when he narrowly escaped death from drowning at Bingham Springs where members of the student body had gone for a day’s outing. Mopps was a member of a large group in bath ing when he ventured into deep wat er. He was not missed for several minutes and was finally rescued by Mervin Werth, high school instruc tor. First aid measures were applied and he was then moved to the Pen dleton hospital. Mopps was estimat ed to have been under water for sev en minutes. He was none the worse for the wear early in the week but a much wiser lad.
