in 1906 by the Pacific American Fisheries. In 1908 it was moved to 

 Excursion Inlet and has been operated each season to date. 



The Tacoma Fishing Co. in 1902 established a saltery and halibut 

 station at Tee Harbor, on Lynn Canal, and made a pack that year. 

 Later it became the property of the International Fisheries Co. In 

 1910 the plant was purchased by the Tee Harbor Packing Co., which 

 established a canner}" and operated first in 191 1 . It has been operated 

 each season since, being sold to the Alaska Pacific Fisheries Co. in 

 1920. 



The Seattle-Scandinavian Fish Co. built a saltery on Snug Harbor, 

 Tenakee Inlet, Chichagof Island, in 1902, and made a pack. It packed 

 in 1903 also, but shut down in 1904. The plant was leased in 1905, 

 and then shut down for good. 



The Alaska Fish & Mining Co. built and operated a saltery at 

 Revilla, on Tongass Narrows, during the single season of 1902, while 

 the Rice Fisheries Co., in the same year, built and operated a saltery 

 on Boca de Quadra. 



The United Fish Co., of Seattle, salted at Tolstoi Bay, east side 

 of Prince of Wales Island, 1903 and 1904. 



In 1907 the Alsok Fisheries Co. did some salting on the Alsck River. 

 Malcolm Campbell was interested in the above company and in sub- 

 sef[uent years operated under his o\^^l name. In 1910 the St, Elias 

 Packing Co. established a cannery near the saltery and made a pack 

 the same year, and in 1911 and 1912. Since then the plant has been 

 closed and was sold in 1916 to Libl)y, McNeill tV: Libby. 



The Astoria 6c Puget Sound Packing Co., in 1908, built and operated 

 a cannery on Excursion Inlet. It was closed the following year, but 

 has been operated each year since. It was burned in 1917, but was 

 rebuilt in time to operate the following season. 



The year 1911 witnessed a considerable increase in the number of 

 canneries. Among the new plants built and operated were the follow- 

 ing: Hidden Inlet Canning Co., Hidden Inlet, Portland Canal; Hawk 

 Fish Co. flater changed to P. E. Harris Si Co.), Hawk Inlet, Admiralty 

 Island; Lindenberger Packing Co., Roe Point, Behm Canal; Deep 

 Sea Salmon Co., Cape Edwards, Chicliagof Island; L. Gustave & Co., 

 Skowi Arm, Prince of Wales Island (changed in 1912 to Skowl Arm 

 Parking Co.), and M. E. Lano (a small hand-pack plant), Myers 

 Chuck, Cleveland Peninsula. 



An innovation in Alaska salmon canning this year was when the 

 old ship Glory of the Seas wtis fitted out as a floating cannery by the 

 Alaska Fish Co., and operated in Hawk Inlet, Admiralty Island, and 

 at Ketchikan. Quarters for tlie crew were built over the cabins on 

 the quarter deck, the latter being reserved for oflicials. The remain- 

 der of the upper deck was used for receiving, dressing, and cleaning 

 the fish, which were brought on board by means of a portable elevator 

 attached to the side of the ship. The "iron chink and theshming 

 and cleaning tanks were also on this deck. The fish were carried in 

 chutes to the second deck, where a line of sanitary machinery had 

 been installed. The retorts were placed on the forward part of the 

 second deck. The third deck was used for cooling and storing the 

 pack. No lacquering or labeling was carried on aboard the ve-ssel. 



In 1912 this plant and the ship William 11. Smith, the latter by the 

 Weiding Sc rndependont Fisheries Co., of .Seattle, were operated. 

 The \\'Uk(tiii 11. Simth also did some freezing of salmon.
