Big Growth
Of the Fishing
Industry in North
(Juneau Dispatch).
In the Juneau district there are
four more canneries operating this
year than did in 1915, viz., the Carl
son Bros. Packing ompany, on Auk
bay, Admiralty island; the Tenakee
Fisheries company, Tenakee inlet;
Chicagof; the old plant ow thefTT
Chicagof island; the old plant of the
Admiralty Trading company, by the
■ Hoonah Packing company, its present
owner; and the floating cannery of1
the Seattle Packing company, at Ida
ho inlet. The first two are new can
neries .while the latter formerly op
erated on Puget Sound, says the Pa
cific American.
In the Wrangell district there are
no new canneries operating this year.
The run in this section is usually the
latest in southeast Alaska, and this
year was no exception, fish not being
reported in abundance until late in
July. At this stage of the season it
is not possible to forecast the proba
ble pack. The bulk of the pack will
be composed of Pinks and Chums,
but Reds appearing here.
In the Ketchikan district there are
five new canneries operating this
year as compared with 1915, viz., Un
ion Bay Fisheries company, at Union
bay, Cleveland peninsula; J. L. Smil
ey & Co., near Ketchikan; and the
Beegle Packing company, Northland
Packing company, and H. R. Thomp- (
son, all at Ketchikan. P. E. Harris !
& Co. had leased the old Metlakaht- |
la cannery of the Metlakahtla Indus
trial company, and intended to oper- '
ate it this year, but the plant burned
down before the opening of the sea
son. The Nakat inlet plant of George
W. Hume & Co. also burned down
July 26.
On Jub 27th, a petition was filed
in the superior court in San Francis
co asking for an order of voluntary
dissolution of the Pacific Steam
Whaling company. This company,
which has had a long and varied ca
reer in the fishery annals of, Alaska,
was organized in 1883, and was orig
inally capitalized at $2,000,000. Most
of the salmon canneries now owned
and operated by the Northwestern
Fisheries company were originally
built and operated for some years by
the Pacific Steam Whaling company.
Nearly all of them were absorbed by
the Pacific Packing & Navigation
company in 1901, at which time the
parent company ceased its active ca
reer. Upon the failure of the Pacific
Packing & Navigation company the
plants owned by that company, to
gether with the Orca cannery, which
had not been included in the original
' sale, passed to the Northwestern
j Fisheries company, a corporation or
| ganized for the purpose of purchas
| ing the properties.
The U. S. bureau of fisheries has
arranged for taking again this sea
son the census of Red salmon as
cending Wood river (Lake Alekna
gik), Alaska, for spawning. The tak
ing of this census was begun in 1908,
and has been continued each subse
quent year since with the exception
of 1914. It is hoped that from the
data obtained through a series of
years valuable information may be
secured in the way of determiing the
percentage o fsalmon in a given
stream which must be allowed to as
cend to the spawning grounds in or
der to maintain a normal supply of
fish in that stream. The work will
be done in connection with the gen
eral work of the bureau this season
in the Bristol bay region, in charge
of Assistant Agent H. J. Christoffers,
assisted by wardens Harry H. Brown
and Shirley A. Baker.
A communication was received by
the U. S. bureau of fisheries from the
Canoe Pass Packing Co., raising the
question of whether labels intended
for use at its former cannery at Ca
noe Pass, Alaska, and which indicate
that the product was packed at Canoe
Pass, could not be used properly in
labeling salmon packed at the new
plant of the same company located at
Cordova, Alaska. The question was
referred to the U. S. bureau of chem
istry, and on July 5 that bureau ad
vised that in its opinion an article
is misbranded within the meaning of
the federal food and drugs act when
its label bears a statement that it is
manufactured or produced in a cer
tain place, when in fact it is manu
factured or produced in another. At
tention is invited to the fact that the
bureau of chemistry entertains no
objection to the use of labels correct
ed by the use of strip labels, erasures,
or otherwise, so as to be in accord
ance with the law and regulations.
Forty-five thousand Alaska Red
salmon fry, hatched and reared at
the federal hatchery at Lake Quin
ault, Wash., have been freed in that
lake by the bureau as a test to learn
if this fish can be transplanted from
its native waters
Willis H. Rich, of Stanford univer
sity, acting for the government, has
just completed marking the fish by
the removal of certain fins as a fur
ther test to learn if the salmon re
turn to their native stream in Alas
ka.
A similar experiment is being con
ducted in one of the streams on the
western side of Vancouver island, B.
C., these fish being marked in an op
posite manner to those liberated in
Quiniault. It is to be hoped that some
valuable information as to the move
ments of the fish may be obtained.
A mild curing season has virtual
ly ended in southeast Alaska. A few
fish will likely be put up during the
fall but this pack will be insignificent.
As a result of the scarcity of her
ring around Forrester island the
King salmon season there was almost
a total failure. In other sections the
fish were fairly plentiful, but unus
ually small. During the month of
July there were shipped out of Alas
ka 1,436 tierces of mild cured sal
man. It is probable that when the
season finally ends it will be found
that the pack this year will exceed
that of 1915, which was an unusual
ly small one.
Cordova is rapidly becoming the
clam canning center of Alaska, work
having commenced recently on the
erection of a third clam cannery in
that vicinity. H. A. Sprague, form
erly connected with the Light house
Canning & Packing company, which
moved its plant from Warrenton, Or
egon, to Cordova in 1915, has start
ed to build another plant at Boswell’s
bay, on Hinehinbrook island, Prince
William Sound. It is expected that
the plant will be ready to operate by
September 1, and will have a capaci
ty of 250 cases per day.
According to the Petersburg Re
port, under date of July 22, “K. L.
Steberg and others closed a deal last
week for the purchase of the eighty
acre claim of E. L. Skog, at Scow
bay, together with improvements, con
sisting of two-story residence, boat
building shop, cooper shop, ware
house, flume and dam; also the
schooner Weasel and fishing gear,
and a 75x30-foot scow, equipped for
mildcuring and herring salting. The
new owners plan to make some im
provements on the property in the
near future.”
Late in July W. G. Whorf filed
notice with U. S. Commissioner Ennis
at Seward, Alaska, of location on a
fishing site at the entrance to Sel
dovia bay, on Cook inlet, and also on
a clam packing company site at Yac
keloff bay. Mr. Whorf was interest
ed in the Seldovia cannery of the Sel
dovia Salmon company, which com
pany became involved in financial
difficulties in 1915, and whose plant
was later bought by the Columbia
Salmon company, who are now oper
ating it.
Another Happy
Wedding Saturday
In most countries June is the month
usually selected by the boy with the
darts to start his kill on the road to
wealth and happiness. This ruling
doesn’t seem to hold good in Alaska,
especially in Anchorage, where the
months of August and September
seem to have the preference.
The most recent marriage to come
to the notice of The Daily Times is
that of Margaret Weiss to Ed Con
ners, who were married Saturday by
Judge Leopold David. Mr. Conners is
connected with the telegraph depart
ment of the Alaskan Engineering
Commission and Mrs. Conners has
made many friends during her stay
in Anchorage by her affable and plcf s
ing manners. This popular couple was
tendered an elaborate wedding sup
per in the Green Room of the Frisco
cafe immediately following the cere
mony, to which a few of their most in
timate friends were invited.
Mr. and Mrs. Conners will make
their future home in this city and The
Daily Times is oniy one of many who
wish Mr. and Mrs. Conners a success
ful and happy wedded life.
