PRIMARIES TODAY.
County Convention of Republicans

County Convention Of Republicans
Tuesday-CIaims for Hermann.
The republican primaries take
place in Benton today. The coun-
ty convention occurs next Tuesday.
AS far as an onleoker can see, only
minor interest is manifest. The
Hermann men seem to take it as a
foregone conclusion that Benton
will send a solid delegation to the
Eugene convention for the Douglas
county statesman. There are re-
publicans in town, however, who
do not want the ex-commissioner to
go back to congress. AS they see
it, his return there would be slap
at the administration.
Some Of the leading lights among
the local statesmen will take no
part In the battle, if one there is to-
morrow, declaring that they are
friends both of Catch and Hermann,
and that they do not want to be
drawn into the mix-up.

/ Gourock, Scotland, March 31.-
Shamrock III and Shamrock
went for trial spin today.
/ The challenger was the first to
leave her moorings, and looked the
picture of racer as she headed off
shore. Shamrock III slipped
through the water without leaving
ripple and carried her head well
up. The first time the challenger
broke tack it was apparent that by
shortening her fin Designer Fife had
produced boat which was fast
on her heel, even compared with
cup racers. She turned and was off
on her new course while the older
boats would have been still looking
at it, thus showing herself free from
the greatest weakness of Shamrock
II.
She travelled fast and closed
steadily upon Shamrock 1. Sailing
in the same water apd no better
served by the wind, the challenger
pulled up on her rival like hauling
in. rope, as the boats fetched down
channel, until off Wemyes Bay,
Shamrock III lay better to the
wind and sailed faster. During
this eight miles she had closed on
Shamrock I by fully a mile, and at
the same time had edged quite a
quarter of mile further to wind
ward.
Experts consider this perform
anoe alone sufficient to stamp Sham
rock III as being, under the condi-
tions prevailing today, by far the
fastest racer built on this side of
the Atlantic to compete far the
Americas cup.

Last Saturday was cred letter

families and teachers from the rur-

questions of interest. This parents

large commodions rooms of the
public school were thrown together
and every seatwas needed to accom-

features of the program were dis
