The local Red Cross chapter, at
its last Executive Board meeting

the establishment and mainten-
ance Of two hospital beds in
France. The sum has been sent
to c. D. Stimson of the North
western division who will forward
it to the proper authorities. In
order that the Wrangell people
may know just where the money
is being used. Mr.. Stimson has
been requested to notify the local
chapter when he has obtained the

priatel is expected to maintain
two beds for year, and it should
be matter of pride to the people

Bank Of Alaska
Doubles Capital
And Surplus
Judge E. A. Rasmussen of
Skagway Appointed Chair
man Board of Directors

The local management OF the
Bank of Alaska is in receipt of
wire advice that the Board of Di-
rectors have voted to Immediately
double the capital and surplus of
the bank. The directors also ad-
wise that Judge E. a. Rasmussen
has been appointed as Chairman
of the Board.
Vice President W. H. Warren.
when interviewed by a represent
ative of the Sentinel, said:
The Importance of the steps
taken by our Board of Directors
cannot be over estimated. The
appointment Of Judge Rasmussen
as Chairman of the Board means
that the business of the bank will
be conducted entirely by Alaskan
officials in Alaska.
In doubling our capital and
surplus the Bank of Alaska will
have a combined capital and sur
plus of $4,000 90 making our
institution the strongest in Alas
ka. This fact will enable US to
give our patrons a service un-
equalled in the territory. In fact
| may safely say we might adopt
the slogan of a we'll known insur-
ance company and say the Bank
of Alaska has the strength of
Gibraltar.
Il wish to thank our patrons
in Wrangell for the support they
have given the bank which has
carried an immense amount of in.
Thence in inducing our Board to
increase our capital and surplus.
