ALASKA FISHERY AND FUR-SEAL INDUSTRIES 305 
The Columbia River Packers Association again operated its plant 
at Nushagak which had been closed since 1931, and the Lowe Trading 
Co. leased and operated in lieu of the Santa Flavia the Nushagak 
plant of the Pacific American Fisheries, Inc., formerly belonging to 
the Northwestern Fisheries Co. As the latter plant had been partly 
dismantled it was dropped from the list of idle plants in 1935. Two 
lines of modern cannery machinery were installed in preparation for 
its renewed operation. 
NEW CANNERIES 
Three new canneries were operated in Alaska in 1936, as follows: 
The Seaport Salmon Co., which installed a canning outfit in buildings 
purchased from the Steve Selig estate at Ketchikan; the Anchor Line 
Packing Co., which operated a small hand cannery on a scow in Cook 
Inlet; and the Aleutian Fishing and Packing Co., which built a new 
single-line cannery at Sand Point and equipped it with modern 
high-speed machinery. } 
The Kayler-Otness Co., at Petersburg, put up a small pack of canned 
salmon, but it is not included in the list of salmon canneries, as the 
plant was primarily engaged in the canning of crabs. 
CANNERIES NOT OPERATED 
The Alaska Icepak Corporation at Cordova was engaged only in 
the production of canned crabs and clams; it went into receivership 
in June and was later sold to satisfy a judgment. Scotty’s Packing 
Co. at Hartney Point also packed no salmon during the year, its 
operations being confined to the canning of clams, and the plant of 
the Strand-Jensen Fisheries at Cordova was closed. 
Canneries that have been dropped from the list of idle plants because 
there is Jittle likelihood of their being reopened are as follows: Alaska 
Pacific Salmon Co., Tenakee; Hoonah Packing Co., Gambier Bay; 
Alaska Packers Association, Alitak; Pacific American Fisheries, Inc., 
Hunter Bay, Bering River, Uyak, Valdez, and Zachar Bay; and Icy 
Straits Fisheries, Inc., floating plant at Idaho Inlet. 
The following canneries were closed during the year but may be 
reopened:
