after the closing of the packing season the plant burned down, but it 
was rebuilt in time to operate the following season. In 1909 the plant 
was closed, but was reopened in 1910. On September 12 of that year.

property was taken over by the Shakan Salmon Co., a new company 
composed largely of members of the old corporation, who operated it 
that season. In 1906 Gorman & Co., of Seattle, obtained control of 
this cannery and operated it each season under the name of the Shakan
