was that she had been newly painted,

River Race in Old style.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 25.-Fed-
eral officials here are instituting an
investigation of a race between, the
Mississippi steamers Robert E. Lee
an City of Pittsburg, which occurred
on the last up-bound trip of the boats
when they cleared from this port. The
government authorities are vigorously
opposed to river races between boats
plying on the Mississippi, but this,
it is said, did not keep the Lee and
the Pittsburg from engaging in an old
time race, the facts of which have just
been made known.

Special to the Register.
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, March rs.
The committee which went to
Washington to protect any interest
P~arkersburg might have in the loca-
ton of the proposed Ohio river dam
between this city and Marietta have
returned home. The Marietta people
made a big kick because the engineers
moved the dam location to a point
near Parkersburg and sent a commit
tee 10 have it moved back. The Par
kersburg committee disclaimed any
intention of trying to steal the dam.
as was accused by Marietta, and said
that they would not question The wis
dom of the engineers. The result is
that the location will remain as the
engineers fixed it, about half way be-
tween Marietta and Petersburg, UNI
less the Marietta people continue to
kick when the whole matter will be
referred back to congress and the dam
may not be built at all.

There has been no efror, on the part
OF Astoria papers to knock" the Port
land fair. Astorians returning from the
METROPOLIS have repeatedly stated that
this years fair was a decided frost and
the fact has been published locally.
PortlAnd's fair is more or less a pri-
vate enterprise. and when the show IS
not worth The admission price the fact
should be generally known. There is no
knocking" IN this. Astoria always ex-
tends splendid patronage to the Port
land fair and win continue to do so
whenever the exposition Is deserving OF
patronage; but it Is not TO be supposed
that the people win parOnize such a
fair as that being held Ibis year. Port

cause they are anxious to spend their
money in Astoria, but because they
get a run" for it: and II the regatta

lis would unhssita,ingly say so.
