LOSSES AND DISASTERS IN THE SALMON-CANNING INDUSTRY. 
The loss of property by those interested in the salmon industry of 
Alaska in 1920 was unusually heavy. Four disastrous fires occurred 
in the southeastern district. The first fire occurred on May 25, 
before canning had commenced, and it destroyed the cannery of 
the Mountain Pott Packing Co., on Wrangell Narrows, which with 
the machinery, fishing gear, and floating equipment was valued at 
$60,998. The plant was not rebuilt during the season. 
The other three fires occurred in August, and entailed considerably 
heavier losses, being the cause of the destruction of much larger 
plants at each of which several thousand cases of salmon had been 
packed and were stored. All of these canneries were located in the 
southern part of the southeastern district, and were burned in the 
same month. 
The cannery of the Straits Packing Co., at Skowl Arm, including 
warehouse and equipment, fishing gear in stock, all other stock, and 
4,000 cases of canned salmon, was burned on August 6. The total 
loss was reported as being $150,000,
