Traffic Count On City Streets

The Alaska Department of High ways is taking a traffic count on the State highway system roads and all Kodiak streets. Ed Tucker, of the Department is conducting the survey.
 The cables strung across the roads make an automatic count of traffic. Paul Slower, State Highway Department foreman for Kodiak, warned against dragging anything across the cables. Anyone defacing, molesting or mutilating cables is liable to a fine of $500, he said.

forces" he was always imagining. Lincoln replied with patience: "I have omitted and shall omit no op- portunity to send you reenforce- ments whenever I possibly can" The President began to suspect McClellan's indecisiveness. But he was willing to suffer along with the handsome young general = if only victories would result.
 To make matters worse, McClel- Ian began volunteering windy ad- vice on how the President should run the country. This infuriated Lincoln's aides. One aide asked the Prsident how he felt to receive such announcements from su- bordinate. Lincoln answered wryly that he felt Hike the man on horse back whose horse kicked a hind foot up in the stirrup. The man said to the horse, If you're going to get up here, Pm going to get down.
 Up the Peninsula, McClellan's at- tack crawled. Suddenly disaster ex- ploded. Johnstone stopped him bloodily at Fair Oaks. Lee took over (Johnston had been wound ed), and lunged forward. In the brilliant Seven Days Battles, the famous Southerner knocked nu- merically stronger Union forces from one defensive position to an- other.
 The demoralized Yankees fell back. Mcclellan sent shrill fele- grams to Washington blaming everyone but himself for the deb- acle. One message went so far as to accuse the Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton, of doing his best ito sacrifice this Army"
 But now Lincoln's greatness came to the fore. With hysteria

threatening {. with the Republic seeming to totter, he wired McClel- Ian in calm faith:
 Maintain your ground if you can; but save the Army at all events 2. We still have strength enough in the country and will bring it out"
 The strength was indeed brought out. But that was three cruel years later = and under U. S. Grant, not Mcclellan.

On To Richmond


 A yellowed clipping of the New York Daily Tribune, exactly 100 years old, is a reminder of a con. troversial Union officer in the Civil War - and of President Abraham Lmcoln's troubles with him. Dated Oct. 16, 1861, the clipping makes this Northern boast:
 There need be no doubt about the operation of our Army. Hardly anything short of a miracle can de- lay its speedy advance"
 The North believed every word of 1t. And why not? A tough Union force, over 100000 strong, was poised to smash the capital of the Confederacy at Richmond, Vir- ginia. It was superbly trained. Its leader was none other than dash ing George B. Mcclellan, the North's Young Napoleon" Less than IA weeks before, this 34-year- old general had handed the South a sharp local defeat in the western part of the state.
 Moreover, the boys in blue hun gered to wipe out their earlier drubbing by the Southerners at Bull Run, July 21, 1861. "On to Richmond" was their cry. Under Mcclellan, they seemed sure to make it.
 They met catastrophe.
 In the first place, Mcclellan had the misfortune to come up against two military giants = Confederate Generals Joseph Johnston and Robert E. Lee. When he launched his elaborate attack up the Virginia Peninsula (after many weeks of delay), Johnston went into some fancy footwork. The Confederates were outnumbered more than two to-one. But they made swift marches. They hit the Federal troops in concentrations of power. They backed off and punched at other spots. They set up cannons made of logs to fool McClellan into thinking they had powerful batter ies.
 Before Yorktown, 15,OO0 Confed- crates marched up and down hills sounding trumpets and flashing bayonets until Mcclellan be- lieved he faced an endless horde. He brought 90,OOO men to halt while engineers hauled up heavy mortars to reduce the town.
 At this point, McClellan's pe- culiar personality began to operate against him. An able organizer, he was also vain, petty, and emotional. He was over-cautious. He started badgering Lincoln for more men and guns to meet the '.huge enemy
