well known Colonel John Adair,
then a 10-year-old kid. The Valla
dora was a Spanish brig of 200 tons
and was commanded by a Captain
Hall. Captain Nat Crosby was" on

Collector of the Port. The Adair

the pioneer family, John Welch, and
their first night was spent in the
home of John McClure. The Colonel
was recalling the incident yesterday,

delight in his new home, to which he

The following letter from Gover
nor Chamberlain and the report of
the proceeding of the Fish Commis
sion were handed to the Astorian
yesterday so that the people in this
city who are interested, may read
them. The documents are self
explanatory, March 30, 1908.
Honorable 11. G. Van Duien,
Astoria, Oregon.
Dear Sir: I enclose you herewith
a copy of the minute of the Board
of Fish Commissioners held on the
25th inst. You will notice that as per
your request your book will be ex
pcrted before the taking effect of Mr.
McAllister' appointment. Please let
me know when it will be convenient
for you to meet an accountant at
your office in Astoria for the purpose
of going over the book pertaining
thereto.
Awaiting your reply, I have the
honor to remain, your very respect
fully, (Signed),
GEO. W. CHAMBERLAIN.
The Board of Fish Commissioners
met in special session on this the
25th day of March, 1908, in the exe
cutive office. All of the member of
the board were present. The board
convened at the request of the Mas
ter Fish Warden who desired to ad
dress them in reference to discus
sion which had taken place before
the board between the upper and
lower river men. Mr. Van Duscn
was accorded a full hearing by the
board and concluded what he had to
say by requesting that in case the
board saw fit to appoint some other
than he to the position of Master
ish Warden, his books could be cx-
pcrted by someone appointed by the
board before he wa finally relieved
of duty and his successor installed.
After Mr. Van Duscn had retired
the board took up for consideration
the question of the appointment of a
Master Fish Warden, and considered
all of the names which had been sug
gested to the board and the recom
mendations which had been presented
in behalf of each. After much dis
cussion and some disagreements be
tween the members of the board, the
board finally elected and appointed
Mr. II. C. McAllister of .Portland,
Oregon, as Master Fish Warden, to
serve as by law required. His ap
pointment to take effect and be in
force from and after May 1, 1908. On
or before which time he is required
to execute a bond to be approved by
the board in the sum of twenty-five
thousand ($25,000) dollars, condition
ed as by law required.
In as much as much bitterness has
been engendered between the sup
porters of the two fish bills which
have been initiated and which will be
voted on at the general election, and
in as much as it has been suggested
to the board that a change in the
Master Fish Warden at this time
might be used as an argument in
favor of or against one or the other
of these bills, the board deems it
proper to say that in appointing a
successor to Mr. Van Dusen they had
no intention to intimate a preference
for either of said bills and neither of
them in any way whatsoever influ
enced the action of the board in. re
lieving Mr. Van Dusen of duty or
the appointment of his successor. '
Carrying out the request of Mr.
Van Dusen to have his books expert
ed the Governor is authorized to ap
point an accountant upon such rea
sonable terms as he may be able to
secure same. The accountant to have
his investigation completed or as
possible on or before May 1, 1908.
No further business appearing the
board adjourned.
