| Fish Warden H. c. McAllister lef
this city last evening after havin,
made complete arrangements for tn,
transferring of the records and bust
mess hence to the metropolis, and thi
will be effected today. During tn,
Iday, Mr.. McAllister stopped Ions
enough to talk to reporter OF tn,
Astorian on the immediate future O.
his official work and program, and ht
said, in part:
i have made arrangements with
the following business houses for the
issue of fishing license:
Warren Packing Co., Union
Fisherman's Coop. Packing Co.,
Tallant Grant Packing Co., Sanborn-
Cutting Co., S. Schmidt & Co., Co
lumbia Packers Association, A.
Booth & Co., Herman Wise, p "A.
Stokes, Fisher Bros. Co., Ross, Hig-
gins Co.
All OF the above will be supplied
with blank receipts which will be
issued to fishermen applying for Ii
cense, who will send to my Office in
Portland a duplicate with the money
to cover, on receipt of which ! will
issue license properly numbered
and return it to the firm sending it
in, who will in turn hand it over to
the applicant.
THE receipt issued by the cannery-
men, packer or merchant above men
toned will be recognized by my
deputies as the applicants authority
to fish, until such time as the proper
license and number is received.
In removing the Office to Portland,
| firmly believe that can better serve
the fishing interest of the entire
State. Situated as it is in easy reach
Of every part of the State and being
on neutral grounds, there is no reason
why | cannot conduct the Office on
impartial basis, and | want to assure
the people of Astoria that it is not my
intention to discriminate against them,
or their interests in any manner, but
will at all times respect their rights
to the fullest extent.
Il want the hearty cooperation Of
every man engaged in the industry
and at any time they can give me any
information that will be Of benefit, !
faithfully promise to carry out their
wishes as far as it lies in my power.
! also want the friendship of every
fisherman on the river and will say
further, that if my plans of issuing
licenses does not meet with their ap-
proval and they can suggest better
method, will be only too glad to
listen to any suggestion they may
have to make.
Relative to hatchery work for the
coming year will say that am in
touch with four expert fish culturists,
who are now in the employ of the
United States Fishery Department
These men are willing to make a.
change and have signifed their will
ingness to work under me, assuring
me that they will do all in their
power to make our hatchery work a
greater success than ever before, and
| feel confident that with the help
of these men it will only be ques-
ton of a short time until we can
bring the pack up to its standard, j. e.
100000 cases.
II want to take this opportunity to |
thank the people Of Astoria through
your columns, for the courteous
they have extended to me
during my visit here, and it will be |
my greatest endeavor to prove by my |
future acts that am not unworthy" |
