MEMBERSHIP OF RED CROSS
 IS SWELLING

The membership of the local chap ter of Red Cross continues to swell as the names of new members are added to the already large roll The reason is the reports from outlying districts and the anticipated mem bership of 800 has now sWelled to over 500. It is therefore confident ly expected that the roll, when the Red Cross drive ends on Jun 25, pursuant to the recent proclamation OI President, Wilson, that the local chapter will contain the names ot letwcen 1000 and l 200 residents of the Panama Valley.
 The latest report received is from Ester. Work soliciting membershi,.s has but barely commenced there, but the committee in charge of tn" work on that creek reports that tn rty-five members were secured there in the course of an hour or two yesterday afternoon Reports have not yet been received from Tanana or Brooks, but it is believed that when they do come in they %!!l show the residents of those pieces solidly lined up in the ranks os ito Red Cross society by reason of h.-T- ing paid their dollar for a years membership.
 Publication of the names of those who have signed the membership roll will probably start Sunday morn, ing. From then on until June 25 the date on which the drive ends, all names of members of the chapter will be published.
 No name for the chapter has yet there has not yet been a general meeting of the members. The meet ing will probably take place lmmedl- ately after the drive ends. Officers of the chapter will be elected at that time. It has been suggested that the chapter be called the Tan Valley Red Cross.
 Mrs. sam Weiss, the chairman of the soliciting committee at Chatanika, reports the sale of fifty Red Cross tags. She sent to Fairbanks last night for twenty-five more tags, and that the chapter be called the Tanana this mornings train for the creeks.

Stevens was to re ceive $25O for his work. After the case was started here, however, and MT. Stevens had been paid a portion of the money agreed upon, as a re tainer, MT Casey went Outside where he settled the case.

Casey.
 The verdict of the jury was that the contract was still valid, and that Casey should pay Stevens the sun Of $15O, less the counter claim oI $24.75, or $125.25 This was the re maining unpaid amount Of the orig inal contract price for services agreed upon, or s25O.
