ALASKA FISHERIES AND FUR INDUSTRIES IN 1919. 



In the central district two canneries, which before 1919 were 

 engaged in canning other sea food, began the canning of salmon, 

 and one new plant was opened. 



In western Alaska one new cannery was put in operation. The 

 Alaska Packers Association built a cannery on the Ugashik River, 

 but owing to the small run of salmon it was not opened, and there- 

 fore is not included in the list in 1919.
