LOSSES AND DISASTERS IN THE SALMON-CANNING INDUSTRY. 



Two canneries were destroyed by fire during the season of 1917. 

 The first of these was that of the Sunny Point Packing Co., at Sunny 

 Point, on, September 13. It resulted in the complete destruction of 

 the plant, except floating equipment and 26,115 cases of canned 

 salmon. The value of the property thus lost was $214,000. The 

 second fire occurred on the night of October 2, when the cannery of 

 the Astoria & Puget Sound Canning Co., at Excursion Inlet, was 

 burned, together with 38,938 cases of salmon. Property valued at 

 $315,613 was destroyed by this fire. The Anacortes Fisheries Co. 

 sustained a loss of property at its Kasaan plant valued at $19,530, 

 including buildings, fisning gear, machinery, and suppUes. In south- 

 east Alaska other losses of fehing gear and equipment reached a val- 

 uation of $18,629.
