 COMING HERE Leave Fairbanks Because Of Wa ter Shortage--Many Men Are
 Laid Of.

When eight husky SOurdough Montenegrins started out over the Valdez trail last evening for the coast, the years pilgrimage Of miners to the outside was be- gun.
 At the opening of the season it looked as though miners would Ee scarce here this year. It was believed that more of them would be needed than last year. Then came the long, dry spell, which still continues, and there has not been work for all. These eight men peered into the future as far as human eye can see, and thought they saw a season of no work before them. So they bought small sack of cut-price groceries and started for the coast.--Fairbanks Miner of July 2l.

sEAg!Ul|lL|| !Ul|l| l Petb OUR LIGHTS j i OUT
Takes Short Route to Bird heav- en For It's Pains--Mvires
 Are Crossed.

A sea gull put large part of the lights in town out of con- mission last night and also was sent to bird heaven for it's pains. The gull lighted on the live wires near Lowe river and succeeded in crossing them and as result, the phase was dead and the in- creased load, caused the other phase to raise and fall, before the regulator could be adjusted to care for the smaller amount of current.
 The accident happened at 10 o'clock and the men at the pow CT plant, not knowing what had happened, were compelled to shut off the one phase.
 Supt. Quinn and number of >men started out this morning to locate the trouble and soon found the bird hanging by the neck from the wires near Lowe river, and after it was taken down the power house was informed and the current again turned on.
 The gull was slightly. burned about the neck, but showed no other sign of injury.

Cook Wanted,

Cook wanted by Col. O'Neil, call or phone commanding officer,
 Fort Liscum.
The Colorado statesman., 1913-07-05

was ordered to make its way into the
Susquehanna Valley through the town
of Gettysburg and then to turn in its
course after destroying railroads and
gathering in supplies. and to meet the
Confederate commander with the main
army at Harrisburg.
1t was General Jubal A. Early of
General Lees command, who reached
Gettysburg after long hard march
on June 26. From there he went to
the town of York and from thence to
Wrightsville. At this place he was
ordered by General Lee to retrace his
steps and to bring his detachment
back to a camp near Gettysburg.
When Early ahd obeyed Lees order
and had reached point near Gettys-
burg he found the entire Southern
force was camped within easy strik-
ing distance of the now historic town
In the meantime things were hap
pening elsewhere. General Hooker
in command of the Union army which
had been depleted at Charlottesville,
had succeeded in out-maneuvering
General Stuart in command of Lees
cavalry, had got around Stuart's COM
mand in way to prevent the South
ern general from forming a junction
with the forces of his chief comman-
der. Lee gave over the proposed
movement on Harrisburg when he
heard Of Hooker's approach and
brought the different parts of his
army together.
la,r Al
fight began General Hooker resigned
as commander of the Union army.
Hooker and General Hallock dis
agreed upon matter concerning
which strategists today say that Gen
eral Hooker was right. Three days
before the battle began, that is, June
%, 1863. General George Gordan
Meade was named as General Hook
er's successor in charge of the North
ern army. General Meade at once
went into the field and established
twelve miles south of the town of
Gettysburg.
Armies Meet at Gettysburg.
1t seems that General Lee on hear
ing that Stuart had not succeeded in
checking the Union army's advance
had made up his mind to turn south
ward to meet the force of Hooker. or
as 1t turned out the force of Meade.
Lee with his force had advanced
north beyond Gettysburg, while Meade
with his force was south Of the town.
The fields near the Pennsylvania vii
lage had not been picked as place of
battle. but there it was that the two
great armies came together and for
three days struggled for the mas
terry.
On the last day of June, the day
before the real battle of Gettysburg
began, General Reynolds, corps
commander of the Union army, went
forward to feel out the enemy. He
reached Gettysburg by nightfall. His
corps. the First, together with the
Third and the Eleventh Infantry
Corps with division of cavalry, COM
posed the Union army's left wing
The Fifth Army Corps was sent to
Hanover, southeast of Gettysburg,
and the Twelfth Corps was immedi-
ately south of Gettysburg at a dis
tance of eight or nine miles. This
was on June 80, and the Union forces
were fairly well separted, but they
were converging and Gettysburg was
their objective.
General Reynolds of the Union
forces arrived at Gettysburg earlu on

land from invasion, condition which
military men say always adds a SUBJ
tie something to the Sighting quality
which is in any man. Some authori-
ties have said that there were 100000
men in the Confederate forces at Get
tysburg to be confronted by 10000
Union troops. Another authority says
that the Confederate force was $4,000
and the Union force $4,000. AS it was
the armies were pretty nearly equally
divided in strength.
In June, 1868, General Robert e.
Lee began to move northward Lee
concentrated his army at Winchester,
Va, and then started for the Potomac
river, which he crossed to reach the
state of Maryland He fully expected
to be followed by General Hooker's
army and SO General Stuart with a
large force of cavalry was ordered by
Lee to keep in front of Hooker's army
and to check his pursuit of the Con-
federates If 1t was attempted.
Late in June the Confederate force
reached Hagerstown, in the state of
Maryland. 1t was General Lees in
tention to strike Harrisburg, Pa,
which was great railroad center
and city where Union armies were
recruited and from which all kinds of
supplies were sent out to the soldiers
in the field. While the Southern com,
mander was on his way with a large
part of his force to the Pennsylvania
capital another part Of his command
The Colorado statesman., 1913-07-05

Southern general did not succeed in
by Big Round Top and to attack the
Third Corps from a position of van
tage in the rear. General Sickles de-
Tended Round Top and Longstreet
could not take it.
When one visits the battlefield of
Gettysburg he can trace the course
of battle of the second day where 1t
ragged at Round Top, Peach Orchard,
Cemetery Hill, Culp's Hill, and what
is known as The DEVILS Den. The
tide of battle ebbed and flowed. Lit
tie Round Top was saved from cap
ture by the timely arrival of a brigade
commanded by General Weed that
dragged the guns of United States
regular battery up to the summit by
hand.
At the end of the second days fight
it was found that the Southern army
had failed to break the left flank of
the opposing forces, that it had failed
to capture Round Top and that the
right flank of the Northern army, al
though vigorously attacked. had not
been broken. There was a tremen-
dous loss of life on both sides, and
while in general the day had gone
favorably to the Northern cause Get
