tl4 U. S. BUREAU OP FISHERIES 



at Ketchikan. The Point Warde Fisheries Co. changed its name to 

 Point Warde Fisheries. The Sebastian Stuart Fish Co. operated the 

 Tyee plant, which they purchased from the Alaska Salmon & Herring 

 Packers in 1924. 



The Alaska Year-Round Canneries Co. and the Cook Inlet Packing 

 Co., which operated jointly at the former's plant in 1924, conducted 

 independent operations in 1925. The machinery of the Henry J. 

 Emard plant at Moose Point was set up in the Anchorage plant of 

 Gorman & Co., which was opened in 1925. The Hemrich Packing 

 Co., which operated as a salmon and clam cannery at Kukak Bay in 

 1924, leased its plant to the' Seashore Packing Co. in 1925. The 

 International Packing Co. operated its floating cannery at Maku- 

 shin Bay, in western Alaska, and Kiliuda Bay, in the central district, 

 after fishing was discontinued at Ugashik River on Bristol Bay. A 

 newly organized concern, the Orca Packing Co., purchased and oper- 

 ated at Cordova the floating plant of the Hayes-Graham Fish Co., 

 which has been operated at various times under the names Star 

 Canning Co. and Copper River Canning Co. 



NEW CANNERIES 



During the winter the Cook Inlet Packing Co. built a small one- 

 line cannery at Seldovia and operated independently for the first 

 time in 1925. W. A. Keller opened a small hand plant at Deep Creek, 

 on Cook Inlet, for the canning of salmon and clams. The Nakat 

 Packing Corporation purchased the salmon saltery of Peter M. 

 Nelson on Kvichak Bay, Bristol Bay, and converted it into a cannery. 

 New structures, in knock-down form, were taken to this location 

 (which has been named Nakeen), and the erection of the plant was 

 completed in time for the season's operation. 



CANNERIES NOT OPERATED 



The Tee Harbor plant of the Alaska Consolidated Canneries and 

 the Wrangell plant of the Alaska Sanitary Packing Co., which were 

 burned in 1924, were not rebuilt in time to be operated in 1925. 

 Both companies fished traps and sold the catch. The Haines Packing 

 Co., at Haines, was not operated, the reason given being that the 

 closure of the upper part of Lynn Canal to salmon fishing prevented 

 the taking of sufficient salmon to warrant operating the plant. P. E. 

 Harris & Co., who operated the G. W. Hume plant at Scow Bay in 

 1924, did not renew the lease in 1925. The machinery was put into 

 the F. C. Barnes plant, which was rebuilt at Lake Bay in the spring 

 of 1925. The Pyramid Packing Co. did not operate as a separate 

 unit the plant of the Sitka Packing Co., which it took over in 1924 

 and consolidated with its own plant at that place. The Pavlof 

 Harbor plant, which was operated last by Carlson Bros., has been 

 dismantled and the machinery disposed of. The Carlson Fish Co. 

 limited its operations to trap fishing during 1925. The plants of the 

 American Packing Co. at Juneau, Auk Bay Salmon Canning Co., and 

 John L. Carlson & Co. at Auk Bay, and the Deep Sea Salmon Co. 

 at Ford Arm are reported to have been partly dismantled and 

 probably will not be reopened, hence they are included no longer in 

 the list of idle salmon canneries.
