  oil 
  and 
  water 
  first 
  being 
  separated 
  in 
  independent 
  tanks, 
  following 
  

   which 
  the 
  oil 
  is 
  boiled, 
  filtered, 
  bleached, 
  deoderized, 
  and 
  finally 
  

   pumped 
  into 
  storage 
  tanks, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  drawn 
  off 
  in 
  drums 
  for 
  

   shipment. 
  Fish 
  offal 
  that 
  contains 
  more 
  than 
  a 
  certain 
  percentage 
  of 
  

   acid 
  is 
  not 
  used 
  in 
  the 
  manufacture 
  of 
  meal 
  or 
  oil. 
  Next 
  season 
  it 
  is 
  

   anticipated 
  that 
  all 
  the 
  tankage 
  after 
  being 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  fatty 
  

   liquids 
  will 
  be 
  evaporated 
  and 
  processed 
  for 
  its 
  glue 
  and 
  other 
  values. 
  

  

  The 
  plant 
  of 
  the 
  By-Products 
  Co. 
  was 
  completed 
  so 
  late 
  in 
  the 
  

   season 
  that 
  operations 
  this 
  year 
  were 
  of 
  a 
  limited 
  character. 
  Next 
  

   year 
  it 
  is 
  cdntempleted 
  to 
  expand 
  the 
  work 
  greatly. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  season 
  of 
  1913, 
  the 
  North 
  Pacific 
  Trading 
  & 
  Packing 
  Co. 
  

   established 
  in 
  conjunction 
  with 
  its 
  cannery 
  at 
  Klawak 
  a 
  plant 
  for 
  the 
  

   manufacture 
  of 
  fertilizer 
  and 
  oil 
  from 
  the 
  waste 
  material 
  in 
  the 
  proc- 
  

   ess 
  of 
  canning 
  salmon. 
  The 
  outfit 
  consisted 
  of 
  conveyers, 
  cookers, 
  

   presses, 
  pumps, 
  settling 
  tanks, 
  and 
  driers, 
  and 
  as 
  a 
  result 
  of 
  the 
  sea- 
  

   son's 
  experimental 
  operations 
  6 
  tons 
  of 
  fertilizer 
  and 
  500 
  gallons 
  

   of 
  fish 
  oil 
  were 
  prepared. 
  In 
  1914 
  the 
  work 
  was 
  prosecuted 
  more 
  

   vigorously, 
  and 
  resulted 
  in 
  the 
  preparation 
  of 
  38 
  tons 
  of 
  fertilizer, 
  

   worth 
  $1,140, 
  and 
  1,050 
  gallons 
  of 
  oil, 
  valued 
  at 
  $210. 
  Practically 
  

   all 
  of 
  the 
  gurry 
  from 
  the 
  fish 
  house 
  was 
  used. 
  The 
  management 
  states 
  

   that 
  it 
  is 
  quite 
  well 
  pleased 
  with 
  the 
  results 
  of 
  operations 
  this 
  year, 
  

   and 
  intends 
  to 
  take 
  up 
  the 
  work 
  again 
  next 
  season. 
  

  

  The 
  operations 
  of 
  W. 
  H. 
  Royden, 
  of 
  Petersburg, 
  on 
  the 
  motor 
  scow 
  

   Elliott 
  (43 
  tons) 
  included 
  the 
  preparation 
  of 
  10 
  barrels 
  of 
  shark 
  oil, 
  

   valued 
  at 
  $120.
