S.IYNDASELLS Windand Waves [BARR BRINGS § HOTEL; WILL MOVE SOUTH Clarence Wise, Formerly of New Washington, Seat- tle, Is New Owner It was just 20 years ago that (according to The Empire's 20- year-ago column) that a young lady drew cut of a hat full of sug- gested names, a slip bearing “Hotel Zynda" upon it and the New Cain Hotel changed its name and has been the Hotel Zynda ever since. Now, twenty years later, while it 'is keeping the same name, its ownership has changed, as of Janu- |ary 1, according to announcement made today by Mr. Zynda and Clarence Wise, the new owner of |the hotel. | Clarence Wise, Assistant Manager |of the New Washington Hotel, |Seattle, had heard so much about Alaska from the many Alaskan patrens of the New Washington, that, as soon as the busy summer season was over in 1936 he came issued 0 \north as a tourist. Stopping over morrow, Simmons will fly back t in Juneau on his way to the West- {ward, Juneau’s scenery and people so delighted the Seattle hotelman back here to live, and, as a hotel- man, he picked the Zynda in Ju- neau as his future business. Mr. Wise and Mr. and Mrs. Zynda had been friends for several years, he knew they were interested in sell- ing and moving to a warmer cli- mate. Two weeks ago Mr. Wise re- turned to Juneau and completed negotiations for the purchase of the hotel. To Reside in Seattle Mr. from the Middle West in 1898 and it will be in or near Seattle that {he and Mrs. Zynda will make their | “We want to be able to see our friends from Alaska. We love the people here and wish to continue our association with them. If we live in Seattle we will see them fréquently,” Mr. Zynda said. After years of association in the i Northwest with the Schmidt broth- |ers,’ brewers, Mr.” Zynda came to Alaska in 1914 as brewmaster for the brewery in Douglas. Instead, on {his arrival here, he took over the Juneau Brewery, operated ery a royalty not to operate. All of this was accomplished within a |month after his arrival here. In the !yenrs before prohibition came, Mr. Zynda became Alaska's biggest |brewery operator and his business was a success from the start. | Trip to Europe Following the passage of the Alaska Bone Dry Act, he rented ithe brewery to a beverage com- pany, made a trip to Europe, and, on his return to Juneau, took over the hotel. “The hotel, also, has been a suc- cess. ‘'We hope its success will be even greater under Mr. Wise’s man- |agement. We thank all our friends ifor the many courtesies they have shown to Mrs. Zynda and myself during the years we have been here, and we know that they will continue to be friends of the hotel !under Mr. Wise's management.” | Mr. Wise has been with the New ‘Washington Hotel in Seattle for many years. For the last several years he has been Assistant Man- ager and in that capacity has met and become the friend of many Alaskans through whom he became interested in the Territory. He will operate -the hotel himself, under counsel of Mr. Zynda while he is ! here. Mr. and Mrs. Zynda will remain {in Juneau for a shorf time before going south to make their home. —————— — Using strips of mullet for bait, Barbara Islands, off the coast of D.S.

Killing the rodents (prairie dogs, probably) has cost 11 cents an acre since 1933. To make it effective for six years, the cost must be increased to 18 cents. The rodents were doing five per cent damage to the grass, a maximum estimate. The rental value of the land is five cents an acre, so the rodent damage was 2% mills an acre yearly, or a cent and| a half for the six years during which { control would cost 18 cents. This made the cost of killing the rodents 12 times the damage they caused. Before somebody figured that out $20,000 had -been spent poisoning them. Hide-Outs 2 There is terrific pressure by New Deal Senators for “hide - outs” around the capitol and Senate of- fice building.

HERE YESTERDAY North Canada Air Express Plane Flies to Tulse- quah Mine Today Flying a load of freight and the new mine doctor to the Polaris- Taku Mine, the North Canada Air Express Pilgrim plane piloted by L. F. Barr, with Chuck Dominy as flight mechanic, took off from the Juneau airfield shortly past noon today and headed for Tulsequah. Barr will return to Juneau tomor- row cr Saturday. Flying from Atlin, B. C, to Ju- neau with Barr yesterday were: Lois, Lola, Doris, and Raymond Hegstead, children of Oscar Heg- stead of the Peerless Bakery here, who have been visiting in Atlin for the past few months. | Accompanying the Hegstead chil- | dren was a relative, Dorothy Durie, | of Atlin, who will stay in Juneau for a visit. Other passengers to Juneau with Barr, arriving here at 2:30 yester- day afternoon were: W. Helsing, | miner, on his way Outside for a| vacation; Joe Clay and also Isaac Mathews, mine operators near At- lin; and Norman Fisher, Superin- tendent for the Consolidated Min- ing and Smelting Company ope'n-, tions at Boulder Creek, who is in Juneau for a few days vacation. who think they are entitled to them | now that the New Deal has gone | into its second stage. A hide-out is an office or room where a Senator | can get away from callers, take :\‘ nap, or sit around with a close friend or two. Preferred hide-outs are in the capitol, where a Senator can go back | and forth from the Senate floor without the delay of going to the Senate office building, a block away. Senator Norris is about the only Republican still having one in the capitol. Senator Borah gave his up to Democrats long ago. Secretaries are trained to tell callers “I don’t know where the Senator is,” when | they know very well he is secluded in his hide-out. From a first class source comes a report that Louis Glavis, ace de- tective long in government service, | a year or so ago discovered some Jepanese charting a harbor on the southern coast of Alaska. Glavis evi- dently suspected something sinis- ter. The source of this information | was less disturbed about it, suggest- ing that good charts of Alaskan har- bors are available on request at government departments. Many Japanese live in Alaska.
