The Red Cross war fund drive start
ed this morning, and considerable
progress has already beeu made in
securing funds. Cordova’s quota is
$2,500, but this amount is likely to
I be greatly exceeded, as a canvass of
the principal business houses resulted
in about $1,600 being subscribed.
The town has been divided into dis
tricts, and a committee appointed for
each one, whose duty it will be to
make a door-to-door campaign for
funds. Every person is expected to
give the amount equal to one day’s
wages, and if this is done Cordova will
again “go over the top” with the same
ease that it did in the sale of third
Liberty loan bonds.
The following business houses sub
scribed $1,320, and a list of those giv
ing to this fund will be published each
day:
. Copper River & Northwestern Rail
, road Company, Alaska Steamship
Company, Blum, O’Neill Company,
Pioneer Packing Company, Hanley
Canneries. Carlisle Packing Company,
Northern Meat Market. Finkelstein &
Sapiro, Cordova Power Company,
Will Clayson, Robert Gottschalk,
Alaska Transfer Company, Canoe Pass
Packing Company, Cordova Mill and
Lumber Company, Link Wain, V. C.
Vance, K. E. Holden, Hartwig & Kis

nig, Northern Drug Company, Fred
