IN RED CROSS DRIVE
Eugene Alone Went Over 2000
Line in Membership; Rest of
County Climbing.
Lane county's total ia mounting today
toward the 5,000 mark in the big mem
lierabip drive. Eugene went above 2,000
today, according to estimates made by
Mrs. George N. McLean, in charge of
the drive in this city, and the rest of
the county is responding in a way that is
highly pleasing to the management of the
campaign. Cottage Grovo and Spring
field are in a merry race for second
I.lace in the totals, while Junction City
nnd Creswell also are close together in
the totals to dote. Cottage Grove had
listed 350 at the last report, while
tipringfleld was only slightly behind. i
Florence and Coburg are both above
the hundred mark, and other parts of
the county are not far behind them.
The weather has been unfavorable for
campaign work in the country, and many
of the roads have been virtually impass
able during the Inst week, but the women
who have been handling the canvass have
it was nossible. and in- i
- stances of the use of high rubber boots
have been numerous.
