The heaviest losses of property in the salmon-cannin"^ industry 

 occurred in southeast Alaska, the largest single item being the can- 

 nery of the Alaska Pacific Fisheries, at Chilkoot, which, with its 

 contents, was destroyed by fire on June 8, 1919. The buildings were 

 valued at $20,502 and the contents, composed largely of gear and 

 supplies for the season's operations, at S33,445, thus making a total 

 loss of 153,947. Further losses in the same district were small build- 

 ings valued at $6,S22, boats and floating equipment at .519,123, and 

 gear at SI 2,448. The total of all reported property losses in south- 

 east Alaska was $92,340.
