Millions to Be Invested In Alaska In Paper Man
 ufacturing Plants

SEATTLE Negotiations are being closed between the forestry departmeet and the Gastineau Pulp Company for two billion feet of standing timber in the Tongass forest reserve, situated on Admiralty Island, most of which is suitable for pulp manu- facture, according to Scott Cal houn, who has been in charge of the legal end of the company's efforts to secure a suitable tract of timber to warrant the invest ment of close to $6, 900, 900 at Ju- neau and vicinity.
 Calhoun did not deny that the Jackling-Hayden X Stone inter- ests had already placed an order for the machinery necessary for the manufacture of 150 tons of newsprint paper. It is claimed. however, that the order has been placed with eastern manufactur- CTS for early summer delivery, and it is taken as authentic that a large paper mill is to be placed in close vicinity of Juneau. There has been considerable activity in the past 60 days by parties seek ing to secure power permits in anticipation of an early develop ment, of the Alaska pulp indus try. The Alaska Pulp x Paper company at Snettisham were scheduled to start the splitter last week. This plant will handle about 20 tons of pulp daily, giv- ing a revenue of about $2, 800 a day, which returns will be used to gradually expand operations.
 Of the Alaska applications one is made by Attorney Maurice D. Leehy of Seattle for power de- velopment at Beaver Falls and Lake Mahoney, near Ketchikan. It is understood Mr. Leehy has in mind possible operations of pulp mill by a London syndicate.
 Another application is made by George c. Hazelet of Cordova, who is drilling for oil in the Ka- talla fields. Mr. Hazelet proposed a 50-foot dam at the outlet of Silver lake with a pipe line 1000 feet long to a power house to de- velop about 12,000 horsepower near a pulp mill, proposed for erection 25 miles from Valdez.

Instead of the usual sermon at St. Philips Church last Sunday night, Rev. Corser read an origin al story for the benefit of the young people who attend the ser vice and are members of the vested choir. It was a basketball story and dealt with boy, mis- chievous and fun-loving, who was led to think for himself by a Bible text which made a special appeal to him. The verse inspired him to do his best, and to be the right sort of a leader when the oppor- tunity arrived, and the story ended in a way that was emi- nently satisfactory to the boys present.

0. A. Larson Marries
 University Student
Popular Cannery Superinten-
 dent Weeds Miss Gladys M. Erland of Seattle on Jan. 19

O. A. Larson, superintendent of the Booth Fisheries cannery at Shakan, arrived on the Mary Tuesday morning accompanied by his bride of one week, formerly Miss Gladys NJ. Erland of Seattle. Miss Erland and MT. Larson were married January 19, at the Im- manuel Lutheran Church, Seattle, by Rev. H. A. Stub in the pres ence of relatives and friends of the contracting parties. Up to the first of the year, the bride was a student at the University of Washington and is a member of the Alpha Delta Phi sorority. Her father, a resident of Seattle for 35 years, is we'll known in marine circles owing to his own- ing and operating a sail making and rigging establishment. Mir. Larson has been in the employ of the Booth Fisheries for several years. He has been connected with the Quadra cannery as well as the one at Shakan. It is i'm probable that the Booth Fisheries will run their canneries at Santa Ana, Kasaan, Quadra. Roe Point, Hunters Bay, Dundas and Sha- kan this seasan, but Mir. Larson has been retained by his company. He will remain at Shakan un- til fall. If conditions change so that the company decides to operate, he will go south for a few weeks to obtain a crew. This is Mrs. Larson's first visit to Alaska.

Boiler Trouble Causes
 Inconvenience at School

A furry of excitement was caused in school circles Monday morning when boiler trouble ne- cessitated a temporary cessation of school activities. There were no worried looks on the part of the students over the enforced vacation except in the case of two young ladies who told a member of the school board that they pre- ferred going to school to washing dishes at home. It was gener- ally hoped by the pupils that the trouble was serious enough to warrant a prolonged close-down but the heartless school board dashed these hopes to the ground by a strenuous mornings work which resulted in the announce ment that school would be called at the usual time at noon, so this news was not received so joyfully as was the dismissal-a a few hours earlier in the day.
 With two good chimneys at the schoolhouse, it was an easy mat ter to install stoves for the pri- mary and the third and fourth grades. One stove was found in the basement ard the other was requisitioned from the fire hall. Chairs and tables were taken from the fire hall and more tables borrowed from the Pioneer and placed in the city hall for Miss Rees and the fifth and sixth grades. The upper grades and the high school went to the gym nasium
 The damage to the boiler is sufficient to require repairs sent up from below and it will be at least two weeks before the heat ing plant can be used again. The present arrangement necessitates a change in the programs of the classes which are held outside the school building bat with the teachers and pupils cooperating to make the best of a trying situ- ation, the work will not be affec- ted seriously.

The Arctic Brotherhood gave one of its enjoyable smokers last night at which about 30 members were present. A very pleasant evening was spent, cards and an ample supply of smokes making the time fly. The sporting events of the evening were the boxing bouts in which Lennie Engstrom and George Case and Jimmie Gleason and Kendall Northrop participated. Four rounds were boxed and the boys putup a good exhibition. A fire lunch had been prepared, Jimmie Nolan be- ing unusually competent to pro- vide for the inner man. L. M. Churchill had charge of the sports and Wm. Patterson was official time keeper. Captain Dannen- berg and M. o. Johnson were on duty in the kitchen with MT. Nolan. At the business session which preceded the smoker, the A. B.'s voted to give a donation of $15 to the European Relief.

Merchants Receive Inquiries
 Concerning Alaskan Spruce

It is gratifying to note that Alaska is beginning to be regard ed in the east as a source of SUD- ply for spruce. One of the larg- est timber and lumber firms in the east seems to have the idea that the business men of Wran- gell' are all dealers in lumber. On Tuesday several of the local merchants received the following letter:
 Buffalo, N. Y.,
 Jan. Is, 1921. Dear Sir:
 We understand that you are getting out a good quality of spruce and would like to know whether you could furnish us with a carload or more of clear straight grained spruce suitable for air plane work.
 If so, let us have your lowest price on the same to be 2T ir thickness, 6 and wider. 16' oi longer, f. 0. b. car your shipping point, which'please state.
 If you know the freight rate from there to Seattle or Buffalo or any other point where we car get it through to Buffalo we would like to have you give us such information as you have re garding the transportation facili ties.
 Awaiting your reply by return mail, we remain,
 Respectfully yours,
 G. Elias & Bro. Inc.

Most Urgent Need of Relief For Starving
 Children of Europe

More than two million children Tn eastern and central Europe will die of starvation unless the people of the United States send relief at once. America has not failed in the past in great heart edness. She has never had a more poignant call than this. The various Catholic, Protestant, Jew ish and other organizations that have investigated the situation agree unanimously that the plight of these helpless children should have complete priority in overseas charity until the situation is met.
 The response of America must now decide whether more than two million children are to be saved. There would be no trag- edy in history so sweeping or de- structive of those who can de- serve no evil. Subscription lists have been placed in the principal business houses. Let everyone make his contribution whether it be large or small. One dollar or even less may be the means of saving a baby's life.
 Following is a list of the sub- scriptions to date:

JUDGE PROTESTS UNLAWFUL SEARCH
 TO FIND LIQUOR
Tells Jury Evidence Gotten That Way Cannot Be Considered
 by Them.

Providence, R. l., Nov. 25-Judge grand jury impannelled in the United States District Court for the consider ation of many charges of violation of the national prohibition act, the Harrison White Slave act and other Federal stat utes, warned the jurors that evidence illegally procured cannot be used against a man.
 He spoke as follows:
 It would be a deplorable condition, gentlemen, if any class of public off, cials could walk into your house or into your office and search out of curiosity to see if they could not find evidence that you had committed a crime. The Con- sttutiOn the practice of English speak ing people the rulings of the courts, have always condemned action of that charac- States has recently laid down in en- phatic terms that the old rules concerning unreasonable searches and seizures still afford their full protection to the citi- zens, and that evidence un1awfully pro- cured cannot be used against man."
 The portion of Judge Browns charge relating to searches and seizures was not delivered in connection with any one class of cases, but it came immediately after he had given some consideration to the prohibition cases.

Plan to Present liar ding With Half Mil lion Names Which Shrewd Solicitors Are Securing With Cash From Easy Marks Throughout Country.

Worcester, Nov. 25-ACcording to in- formation secured by an official of the Central Labor Union the fight against organized labor, which 1t was thought had subsided during the past few months has been resumed, but on much larger scale than ever, and along entirely diff ferent lines.
 According to authoritative infOrma- ton secured during the past week, ma tional associations of employers are pre- pairing to present a monster petition to President Harding, which in time is in tended to be transmitted to Congress for the purpose of demonstrating the strength and influence of American employers, and on the other hand to show organ ized labor's lack of responsibility.
 It was reported that Worcester had been thoroughly combed by solicitors re- presenting the national organizations of employers, and that a goOdly number of concerns affiliated with the Metal Trades Association made part of the petition cir Culated in Worcester. Others whose names are affixed are wholesale and retail dealers, building contractors and men prominent in the social and professional life of the city.
 Along with the petition, 1t was re- ported, the solicitors secured $7.5O from each signer, this amount the petitioners were told is for the creation of a $3,- ;cl, the work of establishing the open shop principle in all industries throughout the country
 It is planned, it was said, to secure at in this manner impress the president and Congress regarding the importance of the project, and the attitude maintained by the business men toward organized labor
 It was said the information had been transmitted to President Samuel Com pers of the American Federation of La - -bor, who, in a letter, expressed surprise and sincerely thanked C. L. U. officials for the information which Mr. Gompers was quoted as saying, would receive his personal and immediate attention.
 This move on the part of national as sociations of employers, 1t is believed, is a revival of the open shop and wage campaign started two years ago by the Morgan group, which, during the past few months had experienced an awful slump, due, 1t was said, to the lack of interest on the part of many employers who became tired of contributing toward a campaign that was proving extremly harmful to numerous industries.
 Realizing this, the schemers hit upon a plan of appealing to all business men in a small way, and in this manner col lect enormous funds from hundreds of thousands, instead of asking contribu- tions from the comparatively few.
 The scheme has for its double pur- pose that of combining influence with money, and if carried out successfully will enable union busting advocates tc carry out their ncfarious work of des- truCtiOn.

WHAT IS CAPITAL?
 BRITAINS NOW ASK
Dividend Making Figures Used to Suit Whims, Says Labor
 Paper.

Manchester, England, Nov. B. Recent speeches in favor of settling industrial disputes on the basis of a fixed rate of interest on capital and a minimum wage for labor causes the Cotton Factory Times to ask: "What are we to regard as capital?"
 Tt is impossible that employers can be allowed to bring in a great amount of watered capital to rank for dividend and thus deprive the work CTS of their true share of legitimate profits There would have to be some under standing as to what is fair capital, as well as what consti- tutcs fair return on that. capital.
 "Merely to say that because firm has a certain amount of capital down on it's books 1t is, therefore, entitled to a certain dividend on it, is to beg the whole question. Labor could never accept such a position.
 In commenting on pleas for for bcarance" between the two interests, the editor says that the tendency to- ward trusts rapidly dissolves what ever humanitarian link there might have been between employer and em- ployed under the old system, and that the only interest stockholders now have in a business is to secure a sat isfactory dividend
 "The need for forbearance is great, but the signs of the times declare it 10 be a diminishing quantity.
 "The only way in which to over come difficulties of this description is by removal of the suspicion that one class is seeking to obtain an ad- vantage over the other, and this can only be done when all are convinced that the basis on which agreement is to be reached as a superstructure
