ALASKA STATISTICS ARE
 NOW BEING COMPLETED

Rev. Father A. P. Kashevaroff. of Juneau, arrived in Valdez and will be engaged for the next few days in com piling vital statistics of births, deaths and marriages in the territory. These statistics will be filed in the office of the secretary at Juneau. where they may be referred to at any time. After completing his work there the Rev. Father will sail on one of the Admiral boats for Kodiak, where he will trans late the records of the Russian church at that place, which date back to 1795. Father Kashevaroff was one of the members of the board which tran scribed the records of the old Rus sian church at Sitka, dating back to 1916, and his knowledge of the Ian guage enabled the territory to save
 many interesting and valuable statis- tics for posterity. As fast as these
 records are compiled they are for.
 warded to the office of the secretary at Juneau, which arranges them in order for future reference.
 Father Kashevaroff Is we'll known | in the Prince William Sound country | having landed at the now port of Val | dez in 1894, before there was any
 town at this point, and residing there | for some time several years ago.

RED CROSS CHAPTER
 TO BE ORGANIZED TONIGHT.

A meeting of those interested in the organization of a Red cross chapter will be held at Eagle hall tonight, and all who are interested in this movement are urged to be present. Mayor Chase. Rev. A. c. Shriver and Rev E. P. Ziegler will be among those who will address the meeting, and the Boy Scouts will turn out and render several patriotic selections.
 The formation of a chapter of the
 Red Cross here would mean that fifty per cent of the funds collected would remain in Cordova for local Red Cross purposes. That is, fifty per cent would
 be forwarded to the national head
 quarters and the other fifty per cent can be used locally. The last. in 1t.
 self, Is a good feature, for the reason
 that 1t would mean that the fund could | be used in case of local calamity or | in cases where the community was
