In 1917 A. G. Denbigh built a cannery at Javino, on the west coast 
of Kamchatka Peninsula. All the machinery in this plant is electric 
driven. 
In 1918 the ravages occasioned by the war so far as personnel, 
transportation, tinplate shortage, and market conditions were con- 
cerned had come to a head, and as a result the Grooshetsky & Co. 
and some of the smaller canneries did not operate, while Tsutsumi & 
Co. operated only those of its canneries which packed red salmon. 
In 1919 conditions were much more favorable in Siberia, and as a 
result the three Russian plants which were shut down in 1918 re- 
opened. Tsutsumi & Co. erected and operated a new cannery in 
Ust-Kamchatka. The Nichiro Gyogyo Kabushi Kaisha, or Russo- 
Japanese Fisheries Co. (Litd.), built and operated two additional one- 
line canneries at Kompakova and Kiseka. 
The following table shows the detailed pack of canned salmon 
made by the various companies operating in Siberia in 1915:
