ISLAND RED CROSS
 TO HAVE HONOR ROLL
 FOR LABOR PERFORMED

DOUGLAS, May 3.-At meeting of the executive committee of the Douglas-Treadwel Chapter of the American Red Cross held yesterday afternoon in the parlor of the First Territorial Bank, all thes members were present with the exception of Rev. E. s. Bollinger who is no longer a resident here.
 The matter of sending one or more delegates to represent the chapter in the District convention for Oregon, Washington and Alaska which is to convene in Seattle next Monday for weeks session, was discussed and it was decided to not send such dele gates but to instruct the delegates from Juneau, Mesdames Morgan, Ma Island chapter and make reports of new features in Red Cross work on their return, the DIT. chapter to bear a pro rata of the expense in cured by the Juneau chapter in send ing out it's delegates.
 It was decided to keep registers in which each worker will record the number of hours devoted by her to Red Cross work each month, one reg ister for work at headquarters, the other for work done at home. A fixed number of hours will be made later and any woman attaining to or passing that number will have her name published on an honor roll. The plan will be further worked out in the near future.
 Chairman Bradley read a telegram received by him yesterday morning from National Headquarters and stat ing that another drive for aid for the Red Cross has been ordered for the week beginning May 20 and ending May 27. Explicit instructions were given in the wire to make a thor ough drive for the purpose of rais- ing money which is now more badly needed than at any time since the war began and to comply with the instructions given M. J. OConnor and M. s. Hudson were named to organ. iZe the necessary campaign and sell ect staff for carrying on the re- quired work. Everybody is notified, therefore, to be in position to make contributions to the Red Cross with in the period mentioned, May 20-27.

or any part of Alaska is all wrong Now is the time. We should be up and doing every minute. Procrasti nation will kill any community. Ali ter the war is over, some other eX- cuse will be offered. As a matter of fact the present war has made a great opportunity for establishing and centralizing the fishing business in Juneau which will never come again + is a great source of con tinuous wealth, the kind of wealth which has made every city prosper ous since the olden days, and is now knocking at our doors. No industry is too small to be overlooked. The man who starts in putting up a few clans or fresh fish in a small way or starts to utilize wild berries and local farm products, may branch out into an important industry in a short time.
 'l may say in conclusion that the Juneau Hardware Company has been working as an individual firm to do everything possible to make Juneau distributing point for other places in Alaska. It is a question which rests with each individual, as well as with the community as 9 whole"

JUNIOR RED CROSS
 GIRLS DO THEIR BIT

DOUGLAS, May 3. - School will soon be closed here and, as the Junior Red Cross girls will have lots of time on their hands, it has been suggested that the girls who feel that they want to be a part of the work can help very materially by taking care of babies on Wednesday and Friday afternoons so that the mothers can go to the hall and help with the work which is so necessary to be done at the present time.
 During the next few months thou sands of wounded men will need bandages, garments, etc. that the Red Cross members are trying to furnish and as each one is anxious to do their bit, we assure that the girls will welcome this opportunity to help alonog the good work by looking after the babies on these two afternoons.

Alaska Has Reached Stage of Development Where Industries Must
 Be Developed.
M ANY OPPORTUNITIES
These Are Knocking at the Door and Must Be UtiI- ized for a Great
 CT Juneau.

Alaska has passed from the boom days and prospecting stage for the location of permanent homes and the need of developing permanent industries, and has been said by Gov. Riggs and others, we must give our attention to the small things" said w. A. Clark, of the Juneau Hardware Company when seen today regarding the new movement to- wards a greater Juneau.
 'In other words" he continued, "as already stated in the Empire, the time has come when business men and residents of the various com munities in Alaska must search out trade opportunities and give their time and encouragement and money towards every movement started in good faith for locating and estab- fishing local industries.
 "Very often comes along a man with practical experience and who sees an opportunity and lacks the capital to make start. Too often, again, are those who are purely in the promoters class without the practical experience for making their venture a success. The Juneau Com Association and businessmen generally should give careful consid- eration to every suggestion offered and if it comes from any one acting in good faith and who knows the de- tails of the business in which he wishes to engage. should give him their support.

DOUGLAS, May 3.-Drawing from board for Douglas District No. 1 yesterday made a draft of twenty men to whom notifications have been sent to report here and be ready to leave for Fort William H. Seward Alaska, by the 10th of the present month which is one week from today. AS some of the young men are known to be employed nearly 100 miles out and in neghborhoods not reached by cable and seldom visited by boats, it is doubtful if they can all be reached within the time specified.
