MILD CURING OF SALMON. 
The business of mild curing salmon in Alaska fell off materially 
in 1920, evidence of which is found not only in the smaller pack but 
also in the withdrawal of six of the largest operators in 1919. Con- 
spicuous among those who withdrew were the Pacific Mild Cure Co., 
_with eight plants, the Columbia & Northern Fishing & Packing Co., 
Vendsyssel Packing Co., Columbia Salmon Co., and M. B. Dahl & 
Co. H. R. Thompson, of Ketchikan, was the only important mild 
curer of last year who continued operations in 1920. The mild 
curers of 1920 who packed more than 100 tierces each are shown in
