Th yva of lha sport-Iovlnr people of the Northweet re now being turned toward AtorU In anticipation of the great water carnival to be held daring the last three day of August. And on the morning of Monday. Au gust when the regatta will open, many thousand of Tlsltora will be present, not onlr from all points on the Toast but also from many of the In lertor cities, to witness and participate n the three daye of genuine sport and healthful entertainment to be provided or the energetic committees In charge of the affair. The regatta Is always held during the latter part of August and at that time the conditions are Ideal. In the morn ing the harbor Is smooth as a frosen lake, while In the afternoon a north west wind springs up affording abun dant opportunity for testing the quali ties of the swiftest sailing craft on the river, frequently many of the best boats being compelled to shorten sail. In mak ing the turn around the course. This year the regatta will be held un der the auspices of the Astoria. Motor Boat Club and will go back to the original Idea of making the affair a water carnival exclusively, the land feature being eliminated to a great ex tent. The programme arranged .con tains a number of new features that promise to be unusually Interesting. The morning events will consist of a It-foot motor boat race, a free-for-all .'speed race for the championship of the Tsxlflo Coast and a handicap race for tpeed boats. These contests will be for rash prises, the purse la the champion ship event being $1000. and will be In : three heats, one heat being run each forenoon. . The races will be over a measured and buoyed course nve miles In length and laid out on the same lines as the Bourse In the big International races -pulled off on the Atlantto Coast, none of the turns being sharper than tt de grees. The big event Is to be In ac cordance with the Pact Ho International Power Boat Association rules, has been aanctloned by that body and the rec ords made will thus be official. For the first time In the history of thejParino Coast, the rsclng course will be under the direct control of the Government authorities, the revenue cutter McCulloch having been detailed by the Treasury Department to patrol the course during all the races. In this, the same rules and regulations as .govern the Harvard-Yale contests, will apply and among otTTer things will pro vide that any veneel trespassing upon the .course shall be fined and the of fending master or pilot may hare his license revoked. The rourw Is so ar ranged thnt each racer must pass In front of the grand stand eight times In running the heat of :0 miles. The afternoon programme will be changed each day. It will comprise fish bont, skip jack and dinghy sailing races, as well as motor Ash boat, can nery tender, crulaer and relay races. The relay snd dinghy races which are entirely new In these waters, promise to afford a fund of amusement. In ad dition to (he above. It is possible that a stralght-awny race between the speed nuats over a measured course of one nilln msy be arranged. . The programme will also be Inter spersed wuh swimming contests, ex M bit ion drills by the life saving crews and various other events for the 'amusement of the spectators. The marine parade In which doxera of craft from the largest steamer In the harbor l the smallet dinghy, each decorated with myriads of electrto lights or Chinese lanterns, will participate, will he held on the evening of Tuesday, the seeoad day of the regatta. The lit i.iror. Band of baJem, consisting -of 2S pieces, has been engaged for the three days and It as well as Admiral Robin son and the out-of-town" members of his staff will arrive here on a char tered steamer on Sunday afternoon preceding the carnival. The prizes for several of the events will be cash purses and during the three days 15000 will he paid out as prises In addition to the laige sum spent for medals and cups to be award ed In the amateur contents. The most Interesting race will be the free-for-all Pacific Coast championship peed boat race. There will be sis, and probably more, entries. The Seattle Spirit, of Seattle, which made such a favorable showing at Vaaeouver on the Fourth of July will be on hand, and the entire state of Washington la look ing forward to her taking '.he first place. The Wolff II and Pacer X and the Potato Bng n, of Portland, will also be entries In this race, and their owners are doing everything within their power to hold the supremacy oa the Pacific Coast, which has alwsya heretofore, and is at the present time, held by the Portland Motor Boat Club. Sacramento, CaL. will be represented by the Fighting Bob H and Fighting Bob III. of the Sacramento Boat Club. These boats will leave San Francisco on August 14. coming by the steamer Beaver. They are very fast craft and are expecting to give our Northurn raring boats a very hard rub. The Sacramento Boat Club la turn ing out In large force and will arrive on the steamer Beaver, whleh 'will be decorated with the pennants and col ore of their dub. Among the decora tions will be a very large pennant which will be presented to the Astoria Motor Boat Club by their commodore, F. C Dwyer. There are also several otbsr boats whose Identity has been kept A secret en the Coast which will be entered In this race. This Is the first time la the history of motor boat raolng on the Paolflo Coast that all of the Omst states have been represented, sad Is creating widespread Interest. The 2t-foot clasa motor boats Hll be well represented, there probably be ing eight or 10 contestants. . and It la expected that the Pacific Coast record will be made at tlils time for the Zt foot class. The free-for-all handicap win prob ably, have the greatest number of en-, tries and be one of the most Interesting races of the meet, as every boat from the MU-nllers" to the free-for-all class will be entered In this race. A very competent oommlttee has beon aelected to conduct the handicapping. The sailing races will be very Inter esting. Probably the race with the most entries will be the free-for-all flshboat race, no limit to the amount of canvas they can carry. This class of boats Is so numerous In and about Astoria that there will undoubtedly be a greet many entries, and as the men who own these boats sa-.l them every day throughout the.nsh'ng season. In all klnda of weather, and are thorougn ly acquainted with all of tne currents and condition of the racing crafts. It will make a very Interesting race. The Judges of the races will be Judge E. L. Haven, of Avalon, Cal.; James H. Hawkins, of San Francisco; A. V. Com ings, of the Paolflo- Motor Boat, of Seattle; Louis P. Zimmerman, Pacific Coast representative of Power Boat ing, and Captain Nelson Troyer. of this city. W. W.

Mr. Matthews Says It Is Worse Than New York and Rev. Mr. GUI Declares It Is Awful Place for Thieves. City to Rival Portland In Growing Roses. SKATTL.E. Aug. SO. (Special.) Two Seattle pasture have recently given this city a black eye on account ot evil rampant. 'One of them Is the Rev. M. A- Matthews, of the First Presby terian Church, and the other Is the Rev. J. M. OIU. of the First Methodist Prot estant Church. Dr. Matthews takes a long-range shot at toe city. He has been East. Writing from New York, he declares that Settle la "wicked"; that It harbors- an organised band of poli ticians, thugs and other law breakers, who are determined that It shall grow more wicked. Having stated as eiuch, he takee the sting out of his censure by declaring that while Seattle has Its moral obliquities. It Is not hslf so bad as some of the cities he has visited. "There Is more wickedness." he lay, -of a certain kind licentiousness and debauchery In Atlantic City than any other place of Its stxe In the, world. There la more Infidelity practiced there than In any other city in the world. The East Is far more wicked In como wvs than the whole West put together." What Rev. Mr. Matthews observes generally. Rev. Mr. Gill states as a concrete proposition. He ought' to know. Be baa been 'touched." He de clares that Seattle is the worst place for thieves he has ever known. Discus sing recent robberies in the Capitol Hill section, he cays: "They have visited me twice, but overlooked a diamond pin -a gift. I have placed this in a safety vault, nor would I dare to wear it If I remained In Seattle a hundred years. We are afraid to go out for fear we will lost what' we have lejt, and we are afraid to remain In for fear they may come In and hold us up with a revolver, as they have some people." While the preachers are Inveighing against crime, the Public Welfare I,rague continues Its fight against vice. It is determined to wipe out the so called restricted district. In the caso of James B. Murphy against the city. Judge Boyd J. Tallraan has allowed cer tain Interested property-owners to In tervene as co-plaintiffs. The W. C Hill Brick Company, which owns 62 lota in the Rainier Valley, charges that It can not aecure tenants because the only connecting streetcar line passes through the restricted district. It claims S40.000 damages. Other claimants. Including Laura Bravender and David Zerwekh. bring the interveners' claims up to S62. 500. A general charge- la made that the, ttO'.ttt spent for the Dearborn- street regrade, and the $161,842 spent for the Jackson-street regrade, have been without benefit because that part of the city has been spoiled for ordinary purposes by the restricted district. The lntervenors accordingly Join with Murphy in a prayer tor an Injunction against the further maintenance of the district. . In the opinion of A. L. Valentine. Superintendent of Public Utilities, Seattle Is setting too rapid a pace with respect to cluster lights. The latest contract awarded by the Board of Public Works provides for five-light clusters on -Jackson street, from Railroad avenue to Twelfth avenue south, and three-light clusters from Twelfth to Thirty-first ave nue south. The poles will cost $6750 and the wiring $34,900. Superintendent Valentine's objection is based entirely on the limitations of the city lighting plant. People do not real ize, he points out. that the current re quired for street lights draws away from the supply needed for consumers. 'They will see how this cluster-light proposi tion has been overcome,"- he says, "when the city has no more current for -sale, and electric light and power rates go up." According to a recent statement issued by Comptroller -William J. Bothwell. So- mm rV--.t!

Assessor A E. Parish will trim bis allowance by 117.000; Sheriff Robert T. Hodge will re ceive $54,000. instead of $85,000 as a year ago; Justice John E.

One of the objects of economy Is to pro vide for preliminary work on the iDu wamlsh waterway, for wh ch $75.000 la needed at once, and for which both city and county are expected to contribute. The state and county levy for 1910 was 13.83 mills. Of that sum $.28 went to the state, and 7.08 to the county. King County turned Into the state treasury 11,436 21168. and Into the county treas ury $1,626,444.31. Since the state levy can not be reduced, the Commissioners must confine their trimming to county affairs.

ERAT EST FUIT (I have just, been duped.) Is an expression only too prevalent In dentistry. There is hardly a day that one or many patients do not come into our offices to have work taken out of their mouths, put in bv bargain counter dentists and sometimes by supposedly high class dentists. Most of these peo ple have sought cheap dental work and got It, others paid good prices and got what la known in dental parlance as junk. There is more malpractice In dentistry ' than any of the professions, largely because dentistry Is about the most difficult of all the professions to become efficient In and requires more skill to do it right. The patients who seek something for less than Its value are as much at fault as Is -the unskilled dentist who sells something for less than its real value for he has spent his money and three years of his time in a dental college trying to learn den tistry; (about one In 60 do learn). I must make a living, he says to him self. He opens an office, tries to suc ceed on the high class (square deal) plan, and falls; changes his tactics either goes to work for a dental parlor or opens one and goes in for the gulli ble public on the make-believe theory fill them he says: get the money; they won't know whether the work Is good, bad or indifferent until it's paid for; in any event the sure way to success Is too slow for me. There is a sucker born every minute and I'll get my share If I give 'em the right talk and he does In many cases,- for there Is hardly a city In this country but what you can find one or more grafters In the den tal line, making oodles of money and they do It for years.
