returns are published, there are
always a few sidelights that had
gone unnoticed in previous news
stories.
For instance, Columbia county’s
vote of 8,434 out of 12,040 register­
ed was good for a percentage of
70.1.
This percentage however
ranked 27th among the state’s 36
counties.
The election marked the fifth
straight presidental election in
which Columbia county hae voted
for the democratic ticket. The last
time the county gave the GOP
standard bearer the nod was in
1928 when Hoover got 3,519 to
Smith’s 1,775. And from there on
back to the election of 1896, this
county went- republican, the high­
est margin of nearly 6 to 1 com­
ing in 1904.
The 1948 margin'of Truman over
Dewey in this county, however,
marked the lowest edge in the 20-
year democratic reign.
The official returns also showed
that Columbia county was the
only county in the state to give an
edge to Manley Wilson, candidate
for U. S. Senator. It was also one
of the five counties that went for
Lew Wallace, candidate for gov­
ernor, and one of six counties vot­
ing for State Attorney Candidate
Murray.

To Be Seeded
In Oregon
Aerial seeding of a section of
Tillamook burn land in the vici­
nity of Saddle mountain will take
place as soon as weather condi­
tions permit, the northwest dis­
trict office of the state board of
forestry has disclosed.
Poison seed for rodent control
will first be spread over the area.
Two or three weeks will elapse
before the seed is dropped. This
will be the minium length of wait­
ing time, though weather condi­
tions may retain seed planting be­
yond that period.
A mixture of Douglas and Noble
fir will be used for the project,
which is financed under the state
forest research act. The area to
be planted is near Saddle moun­
tain and south of the Owl camp
where research headquarters have
been set up for the winter. One
thousand acres will be seeded in
the present operation, with an ad­
ditional five hundred acres to be
planted in the spring.
