WILL BE NO REGATTA
Committee Met and Decide to
Abandon Project This Yea-.
STATEMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED
Pome of the Merchant! Responded Liber
ally While Otheri Who Would Be
Equally Benefitted Refuse to Either
Contribute cr Lend Their Support
The lwe!ve prominent business men
. ... ... ...
apKuni'fi oy to :iiuen 01 Astoria io
get up a reHtu for Astoria, have, la-
Isired bard the mt three day in their
effor ts to nun hu e the public that a re
sult would I benefieial to tlm city
and solicit tin ir financial aid in carrying
out the project. From many business
house they bi.ve merit with liberal re
sponse. A meeting was called yesterday
at 2:30 o'clock of the committee at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms, the full
committee mul Mayor Surprenant being
present. After- discussing the question
every mcmls-r expressed himself that
the effort to raise the required amount
to give a guMl regatta was unavailing
and on motjnn, it was decided to declare
the regatta pit. The following statement
wa unanimously adopted:
Astoria, Or., July 25, 1005. To our
fellow citizens; The honorable Mayor
called a public meeting recently and at
said meeting it wa declared that an
emergency existed, inasmuch a thous
and of stranger are within our state
who ni-ed but to be attracted in order to
become visitors and possibly and ulti
mately, investor and taxpayers.
Self interest would have prompted a
refusal on our part to take up the labor
devolving upon a successful regatta com
mittee, but the urgent pleaa of the may
or in behalf of the general welfare
caused us to lay aside all personal con
sideration and asaume the duties thus
plainly imposed. We effected an organ,
nation and declared to the public our
solemn purpose to work energetically
for the regatta, to guard the expendi
tures and to pay all obligations Incur
red by this committee -upon w-ritten
order of the proper officers. In return
w-c, tut asked reasonable subscription
and friendly encouragement. Our ap
peal met with enlhiiMastic response on
the part of a nmnW of our people,
but not sufficiently large to warrant an
expenditure necessary for a successful
celebration. We can not afford either to
incur bills for which there is no money
in sight nor to put up the balance our
aetvea; neither do be care to get lip a
one-horse affair.
It is hojied that the town will awaken
from the trance which has caused the
Push Club t wte away and the re
gatta to become a nightmare to all who
are connected with it and that before
another year Astoria will be the bust
ling, hopeful city it deserves to lie. In
conclusion w'e thank all w ho extended us
their encouragement.
Respectfully submitted.

MISS. LARSEN'S DEATH
CAUSES MUCH COMMENT
Investigation May Follow Autopsy Over
Body of Miss Elsie Larsen.
Considerable furor has been occasioned
in Portland by the death of Miss Elsie
Larsen. the result, is is believed, of an
operation performed ty a dental, epec-
ialtist. Commenting editorially- on the
operation the Telegram last night said:
Dentistry is one profession; surgery
is another. Just whv a dentist should
consider himself called upon to attempt
a surgical -.operation in no way related
to' dentistry, as was done in the case of
a young woman in this city, whose death
has resulted, is not easy to understand.
True, the specialist in this case had of
ten performed similar operations with
out fatal results, but that fact abates
nothing of the truth that the job waa a
job for a surgeon; one who not only
understood how to perform that par
ticular operation, but who understooa
also the certain, the probable and are
possible effects on an operation in any
one part of the body upon any and all
other parts. In the Portland case the
result might have been the 'same if per
formed by a surgeon, but the whole
tragic occurrence emphasizes, neverthe
less, the fact that dentistry ia dentistry,
and surgery surgery.
