SIGNAL OFFICER
VISITS RAMPART
Well Pleased With the Ser
vice at This Station.
Lieut. Fitz Patrick, signal corps,
United States army, the officer in
charge of the third section, returned
to Fort Gibbon this morning, after
a short stay in Rampart. Privates
Cavanaugh and Squire, on duty at
this station, accompanied the lieu
tenant on his down trip and will
return in the near future with a
small amount of supplies needed for
repair work on the telegraph line.
It is contemplated to rebuild the
telegraph line this winter, and un
der the new scheme the Yukon line
will be extended on to Rampart, so
that we will be in direct communi
cation with t e other stations,
instead of being on a branch line
from Baker Creek. This work will
doubtless give employment to many
civilians, and it is hoped Rampart
will come in for her share.
Lieut. Fitz Patrick, the signal
officer ii: charge, while here ex
pressed himself as being highly
pleased with the signal corps de
tachment on duty in Rampart. The
many expressions of appreciation
and good will for Sergt. Kyttle and
his assistants made by the citizens
of Rampart were most gra.ilying
to the officer in charge and a source
of encouragement to his Rampart
detachment.
