ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES, 1926 281 
eannery, which was formerly the salmon cannery of the Hillery 
Scott Co. The Crosby Fisheries (1ne.) purchased the steamer 7. 
B. Lovejoy, renamed it Salmon King, and equipped it as a floating 
salmon cannery, which was operated at Chignik and in two localities 
on Kodiak Island during the season. The Kodiak Fisheries Co. 
built a new cannery on Shearwater Bay, Kadiak Island, and the 
San Juan Fishing and Packing Co. put a line of salmon- canning 
machinery in its herring plant at Uganik Bay. The Strawberry 
Point Packing Co. enlarged its clam cannery at Boswell Bay and 
installed additional machinery for the canning of salmon. 
CANNERIES NOT OPERATED 
The Alaska Herring & Sardine Co. did not operate its salmon can- 
nery at Port Walter in 1926. The plant of the Beauclaire Packing 
Co. at Port Beauclere was burned just before the opening of the can- 
ning season, and the plant of the Hoonah Packing Co. at Gambier 
Bay was closed in 1926. 
The Arctic Packing Co. is being dropped from the lst of idle 
plants because of the improbability of its being reopened. The Bain- 
bridge Fisheries Co., at Flemming Island, and the Kamishak Pack- 
ing Co., at Kamishak Bay, are being dropped, as it is reported that 
plants no longer exist at these locations. 
Two plants of the Alaska Packers Association—one on the Naknek 
River and one on Nushagak Bay e closed in 1926. 
The following canneries were closed during the season of 1926 but 
may be reopened :
