 AT TAKU PLANT

 age, Etc, Are Razed

The Libby, McNeiIl and Libby salmon cannery at Taku Harbor was destroyed by fire last night, the loss being es- timated at S250,000. Several buildings, fishing gear, mater ial and supplies for the sea- son were wiped out by the flames.
 The origin of the blaze was not known today. Plans for leasing an- other plant for the season, or to rebuild the plant were being con- sidered today. No one was injured in the flames, but one employee, a cook, was brought here today suf- fering from strain from moving supplies.
 Makes Clean Sweep
 All of the buildings housing can- nery machinery and fish rooms, stock room, cold storage, can manu- featuring plant and blacksmith shop were razed by fire. Web for boats and fish traps were also burned and a considerable quan- tity of supplies were lost.
 The superintendents house, bunk house, Chinese house, mess house, office records, and shore buildings were saved
 The fire was discovered about II pm. Monday. It had gained such headway that there was no chance to combat it successfully. It swept through the waterside buildings rapidly, famed by strong winds.
 All Gear Lost
 For weeks the web crew has been manufacturing cotton and wire web for boats and traps. This was total loss. All equipment was wiped out. Some of the dock was burned, but the main part of the cannery dock was saved
 The floating equipment, includ- ing all boats and seows, was also untouched by the flames.
 The crew, composed of some 100 men, worked hard to save the shore buildings. It also rescued much of the food stores on hand. and was working today over the ruined buildings, extnguishing small blazes and clearing away debris.
 Minard Takes Plane
 Word of the fire was received here about 3 am. today by Super intendent AT Minard who came to town last night on business. He immediately chartered plane and left about 3:30 am. for the cannery.
 He returned at am. after in- specting the plant and wired D. w. Branch, Northwest Manager for the Libby interests, asking for instruc- tinos. He returned by plane to the plant at Il am. and expected to be back here late today.
 May Lease Plant The seasons operations, it was made known, will be carried out despite the loss of the cannery The company will either lease an~ other cannery for the season or re- build. The Rake and Funter Bay plants of the Alaska Pacific Sal~ mon Corporation, not to be oper- ated this year, are said to be avail- able for lease If the company de- cided rebuilding at Taku is not feasible for the current season, it is practically certain one of them will be leased and operations car- ried on there.
