The Coming Salmon Season


 According to the Pacific Fisherman, the only canuery to be erected and op- erated this year in Alaska, according to the latest information, will be that of the George Inlet Packing Company. This plant will be constructed on George inlet, in the southern shore of Re7llagigedo island, Southeast Alaska, near Ketchikan The plant will be op. erated by water power from the stream at the old Lon DeVan mine. The new company owns several good trap sites.
 The Alaska Packers Association will operate it's Loriug and Wraneell plants with practically the same outfits as last year, and the same is true of the Northwestern Fisheries compauy's Quadra, Hunter Bay, Santa Ana and Dundas Bay plants. The necessary annual repairs and a few slight exten- sions will be made to the plants, while few new scows and lighters will be constructed.
 The Alaska Fish company will oper ate its Waterfall canuery, while the Sunny Point Packing company will operate it's Sunny Point plant. The former has now under construction two new cannery tenders for use by these canueries, costing approximately slOOOO, and will each be 54 feet long, l3 feet beam, and be equipped with 8 horse power engines. The company has also purchased complete line of can making machinery from the Amer ican Can company, and this will be m stalled first at the company's Water ltall cannery and the cans made for that plant. It will then be placed on board one of tbe compauy's purse seine boats and moved to the Sunny Point cannery and used in making the cans for that plant. Oil burning plants will also be installed in both canneries.
 The Alaska Sanitary Packing com pany will operate its cannery at Wrau gell and will have a slightly larger out put than in 1913. few minor im provements and alterations will be made to the plant.
