FAIRBANKS ASKS
HELP Of NENANA
TO RAISE QUOTA
Tanana Valley Chapter Is Expected
to Raise Eight Thousand For
Red Cross.

The Tanana Valley chapter of the
Red Cross society, of which the Ne
mana organization is a branch, has
been asked to raise the sum of eight
thousand dollars during the progress
of the big Red Cross drive which
is scheduled to start on May 20 and
continue seven days. Nenana's quota
has been placed at $1,000.
This information was contained in
a telegram received this morning
by Miss Jane Anderson, secretary
of the Nenana branch, from John A.
Clark of Fairbanks. The message
follows: Government has made call
for additional hundred million for
Red Cross. Special drive to be made
for the purpose of raising funds.
Drive to end May 81. The quota
assigned to this chapter is eight
thousand. Do everything possible to
raise funds for this extremely worthy
object Wire on May twenty-eighth
result of drive. Your quota fixed
one thousand. Cannot you exceed
it,"
Miss Anderson announces that the
drive has already started here and
that it will be prosecuted vigorously
during the brief time allotted for
fund raising. Allen Crane heads the
subscription list, with a contribution
of $50 for a Red Cross life member
ship.
Advices received from Fairbanks
state that the drive has started
there also. Tomorrow will be OBJ
served as Tag Day, on which oc-
casion the ladies of the upper town
will be out in force, armed with
tags which they will attach to the
lapels of mems coats at 81 per at
tach. That plan has been adopted
instead of making a general request
for subscriptions equal to a days
wages, as is being done in the States.
The Nenana subscription list is
available for those who desire to
subscribe to the worthy cause, any
amount being acceptable, from 81
upwards. Miss Anderson and all
of the other ladies of the Red Cross
will be pleased to place your name
on the roll of honor.

NENANA|1ES ARE
AGAIN URGED TO
SAVE THE WASTE
Salvage Committee Eager to Receive
Donations of Junk of All
Kinds.

The salvage committee of Nenana,
consisting of Mrs. NJ. S. Love and
Mrs. F. S. Ryus, has issued a new
appeal to the residents of the town
to save the waste. This committee
has undertaken the task of gather
ing up what might truthfully be
called the junk of Nenana. They
want almost everything of a cast
off character and will see that the
articles donated reach the place of
general assembly in the States, if
left at the postoffice by the donors.
The articles are to be put to many
uses to help up Uncle Sam win the
war, and in the aggregate, will con-
tribute much to the success of the
Allied cause. And all that the pub
lie is asked to do is to take the
cast-off articles to the postoffice, in
stead of throwing them in the ash
heap.
What is to be saved? Practically
any metal scrap, especially brass,
copper, zinc, lead, aluminium, silver,
This means broken trinkets, discard
ed jewelry, old revolvers, old tele-
phone batteries, tin foil, percolators.
tungsten lamps (Which contain
tiny platinum filament, as we'll as
steel waste, such as scissors and
razor blades.
This also means rubber, in any
shape or form. but especially inner
tubes of auto tires and rubber pacs.
1t also means leather of any de-
scription, and gunny sacks. which
are greatly in demand.
Old stocking or sock tops are need
ed in vast quantities this minute.
They are being made into gun-wipes
by the girls knitting club. Nothing
is better for this purpose, and thou
sands are needed and at once.
There is a decided shortage of
wool, Wool clippings, even the
smallest, or discarded wool garments
of any nature, have value to the
Red Cross, even though they are of
no value to you.

COAL PROSPECTOR
is TOWN VISITOR

Mr.. w. J. Lynn, who has been
city visitor for the past few days,
will leave for his camp near 3o-miie
on the train tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Lynn is engaged in doing
considerable prospecting near Resi-
dency (35-mile) in the hope of
being able to find the continuation
of vein of coal outcropping in a
cut on the railroad grade, taken
out by him under a grading con-
tract with the Alaskan Engineering
commission. This outcropping of
coal was referred to in a report
made to the Commission by Resident
Engineer George B. Richardson and
was published in these columns some
time ago.
Mr.. Lynn's efforts are directed
towards discovering, if possible, the
continuation of the vein on the hill
side away from the right of way,
at a level that would make it pos
sible for successful mining opera
tons to be undertaken economically,
always provided that the coal found
proves to be of good quality and
commercially valuable.

CAPTAIN WH|SLER
 STOLE S62,826.21
 FROM ARMY BANK
No Trace Has Yet Been Found of Bag of Money Following Officers
 Suicide

Camp Funston, Kan, January 15.-An official check today of the funds of the all my bank of Camp Funston shows Capt. Lewis Whistler stole sS2,S2621 when he robbed the bank last Friday night, slay- ing four men with an axe and injuring fifth.
 No trace of the money has been found so far. It is generally understood that the investigators think the money was taken away from the cantonment.
 William Huttig of Kansas City, Mo, president of the National Reserve bank of that city, of which the army bank was a branch, announced that the stolen money will be replaced by him as owner of tEe bank. He already has made good on deposits of s50,00o. he said. Two notes which it is alleged Whistler wrote before he committed suicide were among the here. One note previously given out said that he had made a reason for Kill ing himself. Another, according to re- liable information, was addressed to a young woman, and read:
 Don't blame yourself in any way: simply got tired of living and thought would become a pirate right. l came very near committing suicide so many times, and I hated to do so without stalk ling something As for the consequences, that is nothing but that we all are trained for. Hope that you can soon for get me and realize how lucky you were to escape me-"
