CHANGES IN CANNERIES. 



In December, 1916, the Lindenberger Packing Co. relinquished its 

 cannery interests in Alaska by selling the Roe Point plant to the 

 Northwestern Fisheries Co. and transferring the Craig plant to the 

 Columbia Salmon Co., which latter concern also sold its cannery at 

 Seldovia to the Northwestern Fisheries Co. It is reported that the 

 Seattle Packing Co. retired from the fishery business in Alaska by 

 the sale of the hsiTge Amelia, used as a cannery in 1916, to the North- 

 land Fish Co., which operated it at Metlakatla. The Sanitary Pack- 

 ing Co. became the Ketchikan Packing Co., which continued the 

 operation of the plant at Ketchikan. In the fall of 1916 the Sunny 

 Point Packing Co. took over all the interests of the Northland Pack- 

 ing Co., and operated the cannery also located at Ketchikan. The 

 Canoe Pass Packing Co. built a cannery at Sugar Point, near Cor- 

 dova, and moved thereto the machinery previously used in the leased 

 quarters on the Cordova dock. 



The canneries formerly listed in the name of the Alaska Fisher- 

 men's Packing Co., North Alaska Salmon Co., and the Yakutat & 

 Southern Railway Co. are now shown under the name of Libby, 

 McNeill & Libby.
