to be reopened: The cannery of Karl Thiele, at Lake Bay, which

operated in 1936; the Pacific American Fisheries, Inc., plant at. 
Nushagak River, which was last operated by Lowe Trading Co. in 
1936; plants of Libby, McNeill & Libby at Nushagak and Lockanok, 
last operated in 1936, the latter of which was abandoned on account

and other boats; the old cannery of the Red Salmon Canning Co. at 
Naknek Village, which was last operated in 1930; and the floating 
cannery which was last operated in 1937 by the Western Pacific

44 in southeastern, 41 in central, and 24 in western Alaska, which is. 
an increase over the previous year of 5 for the southeastern and 6 for 
the western district, and no change in number for central Alaska.
