E. P. 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.

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.
MISS BLINSTON W INS
A U XILIA R Y AWARD
Miss Genevieve Blinston, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Art Blinston of the
Columbia district, has been awarded
a free trip to Girls’ State which will
be held this year at Silver Creek
park from June 23 to June 30. The
award comes through the efforts of
the Hermiston American Legion aux
iliary.
Girls’ State is an annual event at
which time girls from many parts of
Oregon gather to enjoy a week of
recreation and at the same time are
taught fundamentals of the American
government. Silver Creek park is lo
cated above Silverton on the west
slope of the Cascade mountains. The
park is famous for its beautiful falls
and recreation facilities.
