Wickersham Preparing
History of Northland
Work on the history of Alaska un- j
Jer preparation by James Wickersham, i
former delegate to Congress, is being
delayed on account of lack of fireproof j
quarters at Juneau for storage of tbe
many hdatorical publications used in
preparation.
Judge Wickersham told a representa- ■
five-of the Seattle Alaska Dispatch, re i
rent/ly, that, it will probably be 1924(
before the indexing for the history,
work will be complete, after which ■
date the work will be hurried.
The first Alaska exploitation was or-!
dered by Peter the Great, and it will
be from that date the Alaska historical
review will start. The first edition will i
cover all the period between this first j
tOD^uest of Alaska up to the time o?
the transfer to America.
For many years Judge Wickersham
has searched into world-wide records
ind indexed 18,000 printed recordt
dealing with Alaska history.
There has been during the past many
stirring romances weaved arou-nd
Alaska, and the conquest of the North
by Russians, Spaniards and others will
be accurately told in the Wickersham}
history.

New York.—Past year proved a rec

Kradstreets announced today, publish
ing reports from 164 cities fhowing a
construction cost total of $2,514,430,437.
This was 52 per cent greater than

country’s record to that time. It ivas
76 per cent greater than inl9£C, 11 per

The tirst oil well in the United States
was brought in sixty-three years ago ■
by Col. Pd win L. Drake, near Titus
ville, Pa. It was only sixty-nine feet |
deep; but it marked the beginning of
an epoch the importance of which has;
only begun to be realized. The de- ■
tnand for oil created by the develop
ment of the combustion engine has- so
stimulated the growth of the industry!
that there are today, according to esti
mates by the American Petroleum In
stitute, about 275,000 producing wells
in America. Production has increased
from the negligible quantity obtained
in 1859 from Col. Drake's well to an
output last year of 469,639,000 barrels
in this country alone.
