YESTERDAY
SAD NEWS OF THE DEATH OF
EDWARD H. UTZINOER
REACHED ASTORIA YESTER
DAY AFTERNOON.
The vcrv sad news reached this
city yesterday, from Los Angeles, an
nouncing the death at the Good Sa
maritan hosnital there at a little past
8 o'clock yesterday morning, of Ed
ward II. Utzinger, the youngest ton
of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Utzinger; the
immediate cause of his death being a
gladular affection of the throat and
lungs. He was but 22 years of age.
Some eight weeks ago the young
man went to Southern California, ac
companied by bis sister, Miss Marie
Utzinger, in .the hope the milder
climatic influences there might react
favorably upon his malady, and for
some time was quite encouraged, but
time and the mutability of the ail
ment veered to hope disappointment
most keen. Mis sister Miss Marie,
and his brother Albert, of Seattle,
were with hint, the latter having gone
Anain (mm the Sound citv some 10
days ago.
Ud to one year ago this well known
and hiKhly respected young citizen of
Astoria, had been steadily employed
at the Astoria Iron Works as a pat
tern maker, since the days of his
apprenticeship, and was accounted
one of the most promising employes
in that bin: establishment Socially
he was held in high esteem all over
the citv and had he lived would, it
is conceded on all sides, have made a
cenuine and lasting mark as a sue
cessful and honored citizen. He was
not a native of Astoria, but came
here with his parents from Minnesota,
in his babyhood; but he has become
completely identified with the city
and cherished it as his own home.
The brother and sister will arrive
in Astoria on Saturday next, either
on the noon or night express, and by
Sunday morning the funeral arrange
gements will have been completed
and announced. He was a member
of Court Astoria No. 8, Foresters of
America, and this fine fraternity will
take part and place in the ceremonies
incident to his burial. J
Mr. and Mrs. Utzinger have the
deep sympathy of a host of friends in
this city and county, where their son
was known only to be respected and
loved for many excellent qualities.

Dr. Emil Enna, aided most ably by
Mrs. Dr. A. A. Finch, had charge of
the ensemble, and will act as director
and assistant director m the future,

There is vet much to do, both in a
technical and a business way, before
the society is launched conclusively
and indcoendently, such as the tor-
mualtion of the constitution and the
laiyng out of the courses and classes
and such 'matters, all of which will oe
finally disposed of at another meet

The fact that the great mass meet
ing set for next Friday night, at the
Astoria Opera House, is to be devot
ed to the full and ample discussion
of the relative merits of the two fish
ing bills pending before the initiative
of the people of Oregon, should
easily account for an audtence that
will stagger that building to hold, and
then some. The salmon industry, in
peril, or out of it, should draw the
last man in Astoria from any en
gagement he can break with decency
and safety.
There will be a number of speakers,
the most of them expert exponents
of the big trade, and all will do their
best to be entertaining and instruc
tive, and all hands should attend in
order to learn what is best for him
to know about the industry that
looms Iareest and nearest his own
door. Mayor Wise will preside, and
the vice presidents of the evening
will be George W. Orton, president
of the Columbia River Salmon Pro
tective Association, of Portland;
Senators W. T. Sholfield, and John
H. Smith: Dr. Jay Tuttte, Dr. H. L.

Lorntsen, secretary of the Fisher
men's Union, and Ed. Rosenberg,
secretary of the United Fishermen.
That the fishing industry of the.
Columbia basin, and of ' the lower
river especially are threatened, should
be enough to rouse every energy and
bit of wit possessed by the people of
this city and section and there is not
likely to be an Idle instant in the
hours given over to the public re
view, of the crisis on Friday night
