 in the central district, and three in western Alaska. In southeast 

 Alaska those closed for the year were the Lane Bros, cannery at Moira 

 Sound, the Seaport Salmon Co. at Ketcliikan, and the plant of Dem- 

 mert Packing Co. at Klawak wliich had been leased to Robert Linden- 

 berger and operated as the Klawak cannery of the Ocean Packing Co. 

 in 1936. The Hidden Inlet plant of the Nakat Packing Corporation 

 was destroyed by fire in May 1937, and the salmon taken in its traps 

 durmg the season were packed at the company's Union Bay and 

 Waterfall canneries.

 Bay, wliich burned dovra in September 1936, was not rebuilt. The
