(From Pacific Fisherman.)
The Pioneer Packing Company re
cently incorporated under the laws of
the state of Washington by G. P. Hal
ferty, of Aberdeen, Wash., and Thos.
B. Bruener. with a capital stock of
$50,000, is building a clam cannery on
Hawkins Island, opposite the town of
Cordova. Mr. Schmidt is manager of
llie plant, and it is expected that it
will be ready to operate this month.
Cordova is rapidly becoming the
clam canning center of Alaska, work
having commenced recently on the
erection of a third clam cannery in
that vicinitv. H. A. Sprague, formerly
connected with the Lighthouse Can
ning & Packing Company, which
moved its plant from Warrenton, Ore
gon, to Cordova, in 1915, has started
in to build another plant at Boswell's j
bay, on Hinchinbrook island. Prince
William Sound. It is expected that
the plant will be ready to operate by .
the middle of September, and will
have a rapacity of 250 cases per day.
A communication was received by
the United States bureau of fisheries
from the Canoe Pass Packing Com
pany, raising the question of whether
labels intended for use at its former
cannery at Canoe Pass, Alaska, and
which indicate that the product was
packed at Canoe Pass, could be used
properly in labeling salmon packed at
the new' plant of the same company
located at Cordova, Alaska. The ques
tion was referred to the United States
bureau of chemistry, and on July 5
that bureau advised that in its opin
ion 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 certain place, when in fact it is
manufactured or produced in another.
Attention is invited to the fact that
the bureau of chemistry entertains no
objection to the use of labels correct
