losses and disasters in the salmon-canning industry. 



The loss of property by those interested in the salmon industry of 

 Alaska in 1920 was unusually heavy. Four disastrous fires occurred 

 in the southeastern district. The first fire occurred on May 25, 

 before canning^ had commenced, and it destroyed the cannery of 

 the Mountain Point Packing Co., on Wrangell Narrows, which with 

 the machinery, fishing gear, and floating equipment was valued at 

 $60,998. The plant was not rebuilt during the season. 



The other three fires occurred in August, and entailed considerably 

 heavier losses, being the cause of the destruction of much larger 

 plants at each of which several thousand cases of salmon had been 

 packed and were stored. All of these canneries were located in the 

 southern part of the southeastern district, and were burned in the 

 same month. 



The cannery of the Straits Packing Co., at Skowl Arm, including 

 warehouse and equipment, fishing gear in stock, all other stock, and 

 4.000 cases of canned salmon, was burned on August 6. The total 

 loss was reported as being $150,000,
