County Surprises Itself by Doubling
Allotment.

With over $11,000 on hand and the
probability, of enough more before
night to make It $12,000, the people of
Gilliam County feel that they have done
their bit in subscribing to the Red
Cross fund. When Gilliam was first
asked for $5000 as its quota, doubts
were freely expressed here as to wheth
er it was possible to raise that amount.
but the results obtained by the can
vassing teams have dispelled all doubts
regarding the feeling toward the Red
Cross movement which is prevalent
among the people of Gilliam County.
The drive started here with a well-
attended meeting Thursday afternoon,
at which time, after convincing talks
by Rev. Mr. Robertson, of Moro, and
J. B. Hosford, of The Dalles, over $3000
was subscribed in a very few moments.
Several canvassing boards were ap
pointed at this meeting and each was
given a district In which to work. The
subscriptions range from $1 up to $500,
the highest subscriber In the county
being the Arlington Lumber Company,
of this city.
Nobody refused to give, even though
some subscriptions were necessarily
small.
the largest sum, $100t The conclusion
was to make Cove's bit for the Red
Cross $120O, the membership being
raised from 14 to 171.

do their part for the Red Croes fund,
but both &re farming communities with

McMinnvllle is no longer among the
tardy ones. "Success assured," was the
message from M. F. Corrlgan. "Mc
Minnvllle district will reach full allot
ment. All outlying territory again cov
ered this afternoon b 15 automobile
soliciting teams. Elks are giving big
Red Cross benefit. Will complete drive
and have all returns in by . Monday

L. B. Smith, of Portland, who went
to McMinnvllle as special represen
tative of the state committee, also
had a good word to say of the Yamhill
County town:
"Found city and distriot well or
ganized and In good hands. Corrlgan
has situation checked up to the last
minute. Committee all alive and Red
Cross headquarters running full blast.
They are not saying much, 1ut are
getting results. My guess Is that old
Yamhill will come through."
Harney County was heard from
again. William Farre telegraphed from
Burns: "Cash contributions for the Red
Cross over $2700 In Harney County. Re
ports from outlying districts will reach
here tomorrow. Large non-resident
corporations contributions from their
headquarters; we will make a good
showing, notwithstanding everybody

Morrow Fully Orgraniaed.
Morrow County, . silent as regards
cash subscriptions, will yet be heard
from. M. T. Clark i-dviaed the state
committee Saturday that the county
had been divided into 13 districts, with
an educational campaign in each. State
Campaign Manager Nichols' reply was:
Tour report, just received, showed one
of the finest pleees of -organization
work in Oregon. With this set-up,
preliminary educational campaign and
plenty of pep. Morrow will produce
$25,000. In spite of no report, we have
had absolute faith in Morrow. You can
duplicate Sherman and Wasco report."
State Chairman Corbett found that

been heard from since, had saore to
SMALL GIFTS MAKE VT FUND
Hood River Exceeds Allotment and
Raises Extra Fund.
HOOD RIVER. Or.. June 23. (Spe
cial.) When the Red Cross drive
ended In Hood River this evening, the
great majority of the people retired to
seek their slumber with clear con
sciences, for they had responded lib
erally and the totals f the contribu
tions of the Apple Valley far exceeded
the $4000 allotment. A general spirit
of real sacrifice has prevailed. Of the
local allotment the sum of $1000 was
raised by donations of $100 each from
10 men. Seventy-five per' cent of the
rest was the accumulation of small
contributions of an average of about $5.
The last one of the $100 donations
was made by A.' A. Lausman. a young
lumberman of the city, who is a native
of Hungary.
In addition to exoeedlng the allot
ment made, the local chapter has been
securing donations of apples, straw
berries and vegetables, which It is es
timated will be sold for more than
$1000. The proceeds will be used In the
purchase of supplies and held for local
relief work.

ita to Red Cross.
OREGON CITY, June 23. (Special.)
With but two or three final reports
filed from outlying districts, Clacka
mas County seems in a fair way to
reach $16,000, the allotted amount of
the Red Cross campaign here. The
Oregon City subscriptions will total
between $5000 and $6000 by midnight
tonight, while the several reports front
outlying districts indicate that the

close to $60 apiece for each of the 28

today reported $122.50, Sandy has
turned In $166.75 and promises $100
more, while Central Point today turned

alone at noon today had raised that
amount with three good precincts to
hear from.
