NORTHWESTERN CANNERIES
TO BE MOST MODERN
SEATTLE. — The Northwestern
company is changing from the old
style system to sanitary equipment
in all its plants as rapidly as possible.
Before the season opens its Nushagak
plant on Bering sea will have been
equipped with the sanitary mechan
ism.
For years the Northwestern Fisher
ies company and the Anacortes Fish
eries company have been recognized
by thi waterfront as holding a high
place among the assets that make Se
attle a great port. The Northwestern
company owns a magnificent sailing
fleet which is operated in connection
with its Alaska canneries, the vessels
including the ships St. Paul, Benja
min F. Packard, A. J. Fuller and
Charles E. Moody and the bark Guy
C. Goss. The departure of these ves
sels for the north in the spring and
their return to Seattle in the fall
form two of the big events of the
year in Seatle harbor. On both occa
sions they put an immense amount of
gold in circulation.
With the reconstruction of the Ke
nai plant, the Northwestern Fisheries
company will have two Cook inlet can
neries—the Kenai plant and the Sel
dovia plant just purchased from the
Lindenberger company. The Kenai
plant will be ready for operation at
the beginning of the coming season.
