bonded to Middlemiss 4 BoOle, bu.

STEAMBOAT TEsTs.-Trials of speed
among steamboats, are common these
days, aud others are looked forward to
in the near future. The Olympian had
run between Seattle and Tacoma with
the Emma Hayward on Wednesday last
and beat the Hayward nearly half an
hour. The Eliza Anderson had a little
run yesterday with the Emma Hayward
between Olyu pia and Steilaooom, and
WAS beaten a quarter of al hour. The
Eliza Anderson came down from th.
capital city in 5ha hours. and it is
thought she will make tho run to Vic
tOria from that town, including short
stops here and ut Port Townsend, IN i3
hours. The Alaskan, going up the Co
lumbia river the other day had the com
pany of the State of California, alleged
To be the fastest steamship ON the coast,
and she beat the State easily enough.
The Alaskan is expected tn make it very
disagreeable for the Fleet W God on the
river and probably will succeed in doing
SO, to the entire satisfaction OF her own
ers. The Oiympian and Alaskan are
probably the champion smooth water
speeders of the Paclfio.

REGISTRATION OF VoTERs.-The law
for the registration Of voters here pro
vides for keeping the book open only
five days, those days beginning the last
Monday IN June. This short time will
make necessary sharp and active work
to get in anything like a full list. In
Tacoma a month was allowed, and the
result shows the virtue of so extended a
period. They talked the matter over on
the streets and Ill the papers, carried
the record from ward To ward for the
convenience Of voters, and succeeded In
drumming up list of 1lN-a very
creditable, in fact remarkable. list for a.
place no larger than Tacoma. When
their register had been kept open five
days. they had but three or four hun
dred names. Registration of voters Is
n new thing in this Territory, and the
people are apt to neglect it. For this
reason month IL preferable to five
days, and il is to be regretted month
was not allowed here as well as in Ia
coma.
