PLANS outlined:
Fish Warden H. C. McAllister left
this city last evening after having
made complete arrangements for the
transferring of the records and busi
ness hence to the metropolis, and this
will be effected today. During the
day, Mr. McAllister stopped long
enough to talk to a reporter of the

his official work and program, and he
sajd, in part:
"I have made arrangements .with
the following business houses for the

Tallant Grant Packing Co., Sanborn

"All of the above will be supplied
with blank receipts which will be
issued to fishermen applying for li
cense, who will send to tny office in
Portland a duplicate with the money
to cover, on receipt of which I will
issue a 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
tioned will De recognized Dy my
deputies as the applicant's authority
to fish, until such time as the proper
license and number is received.
"In removing the office to Portland,
I firmly believe that I 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 I cannot conduct the office , on
impartial basis, and I 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.
"I want the hearty co-operation of
every man engaged in the industry
and at any time they can give me any
information that will be of benefit, I
faithfully promise to carry out their
wishes as far as it lies in my power.

These men are willing to make a
change and have signified their will

me that they will do all in their

"I want to take this opportunity to
thank the people of Astoria through
your columns, for the courteous
treatment they have extended to me
during my visit here, and it will be
my greatest endeavor to prove by my
future acts that I am not unworthy."
