Multi Millionaire of Cali fonia Likes Southeast
 Alaska Fishing

"So the Glory Holes filled with water" commented Major Max c. Fleischmann, multi-millionaire of Santa Barbara, Cal, as he looked across Gasineau Channel toward the Douglas side from a Juneau wharf this morning after he had come ashore from his palatial yacht, Haida, anchored in mid stream. "Too bad" he said Too bad from industrial considerations; too bad from the viewpoint of the tourist, It was an interesting attraction easily seen, as it were, in a show window-Juneau's show window.
 "The poor condition of the sal mon trade surprises me. Canned salmon is moderately priced food It ought to hold all it's old con sumers, besides appealing to many new ones-the porterhouse crowd that played the wrong side of the stock market. It will be in strong demand again when bereft specu- lators become aware of it's merits.
 Fish Ladder Urged
 Speaking of fish," Major Fleisch- mann continued with earnestness; the federal or the territorial gov ernment, or some of the cannery interests ought to spend little money in installing fish ladder in Pavloff Cove, Freshwater Bay. The ascent is not high to spawning grounds in nearby lake, bat thousands of salmon bruise them selves to death in trying to make it. lifted some over the rocks"
 q have been in Southeast Alaska several times, the last occasion in 1907. Mrs. Fleischmann. and my cousin, K. w. Walters, who are with me, are making their first visit, and the present voyage was under taken chiefly for them"
 Guests Aboard Yacht
 Guests of Major Fleischmann aboard the Haida, besides Mrs. Fleischmann and MT. Waters, whose home is in Boston, are Mrs. Walters and Clarence Mcdonald, of Santa Barbara.
 The craft left San Francisco July 21, proceeded up the Pacific Coast to Seattle, and then came to Ju- neau. Her owner is an ardent sportsman, particularly fond of fish ing, and the voyage north has been leisurely with frequent stops to per- init him to indulge in his favorite pastime. This afternoon or tomor- row morning the vessel will leave Juneau, go to Taku Glacier, and then to Rocky Pass in Hamilton Bay to fish. A scall at Sitka is doubtful. The craft will not cruise Westward. Her early return to the States is contemplated.
 The Haida is explained by J. D.. Lond. She was built in Kiel, Ger many, last year at a cost of Sl,- 250,000. She has two Diesel en- zines, each of 800 Horsepower, is 215 feet long and carries a crew of 28. Her equipment in every re- spect is designed and make for ef- ficiency without regard to expense. Her furnishings are luxurious.
 Sold Yeast Interests
 Major Fleischmann succeeded his father in the control and manage ment of the Fleischmann Yeast Company. He was chairman of the Company's board of directors when it was merged a few years ago with other yeast companies into a giant combination under the financial wizardry of the famous Wall Street banking house of J. Pierpont Morgan and Company.
 Major FleischmGnn is of medium height, with strong, well-knit physique devoid of fat, yet not slender. He is 53 years old, a vet eran of both the Spanish h-American and the World War. Possessed Of commanding business ability and still endowed with wonderful ener- gy. his retirement from commer- cial activities is astonishing. The fact that his vigorous, dominating nature can be content with the complaisant existence that obtains on a yacht. even though her ap- pointments leave nothing to be de- sired in the way of ease and com fort, offers another instance of the biological truth that the human species can be adjusted to any en- vironment.
