Rake Is Added
 To Call Ports
 By Mail Launch

Through the efforts of local busi- ness men, a semi-mouthly boat ser vice has been arranged between Ju- neau and Rake, it was announced today by President Allen Shattuck. of the Juneau Commercial Associa- ton. The service will be furnished by the Ramstead Transportation Company. which operates the gas boat George. Jr., on the mail run from here to Petersburg and return, making regular weekly trips on that run and touching at Rake at least twice monthly
 The first regular stop at Rake will be made on the present trip of the George. Jr.. which left here this morning. On It's Initial trip the boat carried considerable merchandise from local merchants.
 In order to secure the service, sev- eraI of the local business houses signed an agreement guaranteeing to make good any deficiency that might be incurred by the company in its calls at Rake. "It is believed that market can be built up there for local merchants and the arrange ments will be mutually beneficial to both towns" said Mir. Shattuck. He said 1t was possible that the com pany might not pick up sufficient business at the outset to pay it's op- eratug expenses, but these are guar anteed and there was every reason to believe that in a comparatively short time the business developed would prove to be profitable to the transportation company Juneau Empire.

EDISON DOES NOT CARE
 FOR COLLEGE MEN

Princeton, N. J., Dec. 12.-"The main objection I have against a col Iege graduate" said Thomas A. Edi- son in an interview. lis that he ob- jects to work, especially il it is dirty"
 MT. Edison expressed his views at his laboratory in Orange, N. J., to the "Princetoni'n."
 "The college graduate doesn't want job with work in it," continued the electrical wizard, "and when he does get a position he expects to be appointed foreman at the end of six weeks. Most Men working for me never attended college. The col lege men I have usually show lack of imagination. They scarcely have any suggestions to make in their daily routine which might lead to improvement in their various de- partments.
 College is a good place for man who wants to work, but, unfortun- ately there are very few of this type nowadays. Yet, il man wants to succeed it Is not necessary for him to go to college. He will broaden himself without it. We have enough lawyers, doctors and literary men. Also We have many $1OO,OOO jobs with no one capable of filling them. The main quality fer success, in my estimation, is ambition with a will to work"

Theft Confessed
 Account Promotion

New York, Dec. 13.-.The higher and the lower natures of Max " Hensel, manager of a branch of !te Corn Exchange Bank, fought a duel in his heart and the higher won.
 His conscience was prcdded by a promotion he knew he did not de- serve, so he confessed, it is alleged, that he had stolen more than $5G,- 900 from the bank in the last ten years.
 Hensel had won the confidence of bank authorities and they decided to promote him with a transfer to a larger and more important branch as a reward flor his efficient and hon est service"
 The thought of promotion was more than he could stand, sn he con fessed, afRcials said So accurate an account did he keep of his traEsar tions that he said he had stolen ex- actly S51,912.48, it was alleged.
 Hensel explained it is said, that he had mulGted the bank whenever a depositor asked him to buy securi- ties. He would steal the securities from the bank and pocket the check that was given in payment for the securities, officials asserted. Then he would charge an inactive account with the amount due on the securi- ties. 1t was declared.
 Hensel said he began to steal as the result of a reprimand he received for an error years ago, according 10 officials. He is 32 years old and married.

first of next May, These are the plans made public today by W. D. Gross.
 Last Monday, D. W. Gross, of the Coliseum, purchased from George F. Forrest, the lot adHoining the Alas kan Hotel on Front Street, where the Bargain Store was formerly To- cated on the ground floor and which now is occupied by the Central Rooming House, on the second floor. The lot has 50 foot frontage and depth of 100 feet. An additional 25 feet on the rear end of the lot will probably be purchased so the new theatre building will be 125 feet long.
 The present Coliseum Theatre will be re-converted into a pavilion, for dancing. Carnivals and large gather ings. There Is a solid oak floor In the Coliseum Theatre over which the present seating arrangement is -er- ected. The Coliseum will be thor oughly remodeled and put in shape and will be one of Alaska's largest payiliOns.
 The new theatre will be modern in all respects. Blue prints are soon to be drawn which will provide for a real theatre, capable of utilization for stage productions as well as for motion pictures.
 There will not be stair in the entire building except from the or chestra pit to the musicians room beneath the stage. There will be a large balcony reached by an :u- cline. There will be a ladies rest room and smoking room for gentle men. The stage will be modern, capable of handling any production. Dressing rooms will be located in the basement which will extend from the front or the building 10 the back wall The heating plant will be one of the best. There will be a large foyer and also one side exit from the theat'e. The elevation of the theatre floor will be so that the stage will be plainly in view of all in the audience.
 The seating capacity af the new theatre will be 1000.
 The plans will be drawn by theatre architect ard-wiu embrace the very latest features in construc- ton.
 MT. Gross believes consistently in the growth of Juneau as is not only shown by the announcement of the new theatre construction but by the spending of several thousand dollars filling in with rock under the pres ent Coliseum Theatre building Juneau Empire.

Work On Paper Mill WrangeIl
 To Soon Begin

J. G. Calvin arrived in town Satur- day after being out with engineers for the past several weeks,
 When seen at the Wrangell hotel yesterday, Mir. Galvju's attention was directed to the article published in last weeks issue of the Sentinel re- garding the Wrangell Paper mill project having been financed In New York. He was asked if there was any additional information to give out.
 Mir. Calvin stated that c. R. Breck of the J. G. White Engineering Cor poratiou of New York is now pre- pairing his report on the power pos abilities. The J. c. White Engineer ing Corporation is one of the largest and best known engineering firms in the United States.
 John P. Van Orsdel of the J. D. Lacy Company, is preparing a report on timber conditions in the vicinity of Wrangell. The J. D. Lacy Com pany is one of the best known cruis- ing and timber estimating corpor- ations in the country.
 That the report of the engineers will be favorable is regarded as a certainty, in which case the estab- lishment of paper mill will pro ceed without delay.
 Mir. Calvin stated that he had every reason to believe that work on the project would begin right af ter the first of the year. The plant will be located at the mouth of Toms creek, about thirty miles from Wran- sell. While plans are being drawn for the mill such preliminary work as building docks, warehouses and cottages for the men will So ahead as rapidly as possible.
 The plans for the mill will be drawn by c. F. Hardy who designed the Ocean Falls paper plant as well as a number of the other leading paper plants of the United States and Can ada.
 The paper mill is to have a capac- ity of not less than 25O tons of news print paper a day. In connection with the paper mill d large saw mill will be established. This will con- tribute much to efficiency in profit able operation, as Q paper mill and saw mill can be operated in connec- tion with each other much more economically than If run independ- ently of each other. The main proi- ect, Of course, is the paper mill, but the saw mill, nevertheless, will be far from being a dinky affair.
 MT. Calvin believes that more sig nifcance attaches to the establish ment of a paper mill in this vicinity than is generally realized. He says that one mill will of course bring a number of people and create more business, but that the most far reaching benefit lies in the fact that no sooner than one paper mill is put into operation others will follow, as Southeastern Alaska is without doubt destined to become one of the greatest paper manufacturing cen ters on the cOntinent.-Wrangell Sentinel

Some time during the trse two

Invitation to United States.
An invitation to the United States

lance of number of conditions, name
ly, that she cease Bolsheviki propa-
ganda abroad, that she undertake not
to attack her neighbors and that she
recognize all the honorable obligations
entered into by preceding Russian gov

the deliberations, speaking for an
hour In his opinion a place for de-
cisive action has been reached if the
economic. structure of Europe was to
be saved Describing the present
meeting Of the Supreme council as the
most important since the Armistice,
he declared that the public opinion of
the world demanded that the Allies
take wider responsibilities to revive
Europe.

.~ Collins Nominates Griffith
Griffith was placed in nomination
by Michael Collins shortly after the
beginning of the session. AS matters
stood, said Collins: Ireland was with
out leader. He again charged the
opposition with obstructionist tactics,
and declared it's desire was to create
the impression that Ireland was still
unfriendly to England and to dis
credit the supporters of the treaty.
The present course of the dali, if per-
sisted in, would give England an ex-
cuse for remaining in Ireland, he de-
clared.
The proposition to elect Griffith
was opposed by John MacIntee, who
said he questioned the wisdom of put
ting up, in Griffith, man who was
bound by his signature to the treaty,
to wreck the Irish republic. He de-
clared no man who had signed the
peace agreement should be president
of the dali. It was proposed to do
gratiously in carrying out the treaty
that John Redmond was coerced into
doing in 1914, added MacIntee.
Republics Status Questioned.
canon De Valera asked Griffith
whether he intended, if elected, to act
as the executive Of the republic The
Dali Eireann, he said, was representa-.
tive of the republic and of nothing
else. Peace was not established by
the treaty, he declared, as the strug-
gle for the republic would continue.
This body" added De Valera, "has
no right to give away it's powers I'm,
less it is established as a republican
government"
