SALMON FREEZING. 
In 1916 seven companies engaged in the freezing of salmon im 
Alaska, though largely incidental to other business. They were the 
Columbia & Northern Fishing & Packing Co., at Wrangell; Booth 
Fisheries Co., at Sitka; Juneau Cold Storage Co., at Juneau; Taku 
Canning & Cold Storage Co., at Taku Inlet; New England Fish 
Co. and Washington Fish & Oyster Co., at Ketchikan; and the 
Glacier Fish Co., which operated a cold-storage plant on the barge 
Glory of the Seas, at Scow Bay. 
The total quantity of salmon frozen was 863,406 pounds, valued 
at $34,408, thus showing an increase over 1915 of 142,615 pounds in 
quantity and $7,132 in value.
