Work on the history of Alaska un- der preparation by James Wicker sham, former congressional repre- sentative to congress, is being de- layed on account of lack of fire proof quarters at Juneau for storage of, the many historical publications used in preparation.
 Judge Wickersham who is spend ing the holidays in Seattle, informs the Dispatch it will probably be 1924 before the indexing for the his tory is complete, after which date the work will be hurried.
 The first Alaska exploration was ordered by Peter the Great, and it will be from that date the Alaska historical review will start. The first edition will cover all the period rom this first conquest of Alaska up to the time of the transfer to Amer ica.
 For many years Judge Wicker sham has searched into worldwid e records dealing with Alaska history.
 There has been during the past many stirring romances woven around Alaska. and the conquest of the North by Russians, Spaniards and others will be accurately told in the Wickersham history.

Juneau, Alaska, women enrolled in the American Legion Auxiliary are so earnest in their efforts to aid the disabled ex-seryice man that they desire to adopt" a veteran s hospital. Recently they wrote to R. E. Arne, Director of War Service, Pacific Division, relative to their de- sire, and MT. Arna suggested that Walla Walla, Wash, hospital would doubtless be pleased to be adopted" by the auxiliary and to receive the comforts they are anxious to supply.
 The letter, which was signed by Mrs. George Getchell, of Treadwell, Alaska, follows:
 "The American Legion Auxiliary of the John Bradford Post, No. 4, Juneau, Alaska, desires to adopt a hospital for disabled soldiers, so would like your advice. The auxil- iary is not so very large, but per haps by cooperating with the Red Cross chapter here could do quite a little bit of help. We were thinking if there was a hospital in western Washington or in California that needs help, would prefer it to an eastern. Anything little nearer our territory. Please advise me as soon as possible as we are anxious to get started"
