THE tit: VOGEL CANNERY TO ^E DISMANTLED.
Tim Vogel's Cannery, located on Chilkat Inlet about eight
miles from Haines, is being dismantled and p§irt of the machinery
was shipped south on the "S, S. Je f ferson" last thursday to some
point south of Juneau.
It is a great blow to Haines and the native villages in the
vicinity to lose this plant as it furnished employment to about
150 fishermen and cannery workers, mostly natives, who depended o:^
it to make enough money to tide them over the long winters.
The ban on fishing in the Chilkat River by the Bureau of Fish
eries was the cause of removal.

THE HA I HE 3 SHRIMP CAHHSRY DOING FINE. *
*
The Shrimp Cannery, which was located here last spring, is
doing fine, making record catches of shrimp and giving employment
to a number of workers.
The shrimp caught are what is known as "commercial" shrimp,
just the size and quality the trade demands and plentiful enough
to warrant operation until the season ends.
