As this meeting will shape the destinies of

Jackman are appointed a Committee to bring in the different ’

WHAT1S THE BIG IDEA?:
Something stirring ior the local Fort seems
to be in the wind at Corps Area Headquarters.Almost every

Fort Seward*.Li,Grubs, o 1 Fort Gibbon.and It .Ferguson, Q,MS C.
have just reported,^ J^-ertens^ from the y*.h Inf,,Camp Lewis,
is due on the '’Spokane'7 nert Thursday; Capts. Crawford, from '
the ZUlh Ini. .Columbus.K.M,,and GW/ari, from the 17th Ini.
Camp Travis,Tex,,have been oraerv 1 to ihxs Post.Capt,Robert
C,Wright,from Fort Banning,Ga„,is due to report about Septa&t
Major Balsam,now Military Instructor at St,Thomas College,Minn'
has been ordered to Alaska /out whether he is assigned to this
Post or 10 Anchorage is rot’ yet known*
dust who the new Commanding Officer will be
is not known.Major Lamport is due to lease very soon,presumably
on the Buford”,Major Donaldson,who has been U charge of Ft,
Liscum,will soon be on his way to this Post,but whether or not
he is to take command is unknown,With the Fo~t Ljsr.ua trooi/

ing turned over the Q.M,to Lt,Ferguson,will assume command of*
Headquarters Company in a few da^s,
. ... ... 014 fort Se^rd is sure going to be well sup
plied with officers .me coming year.Rumor talks about a Colonel
coming to command the Post,-** the Head charters of a Svb-iwt
ment,but^anyhow it seems sure that a Maj"crS,8 Line detains"
1 Memoaj. <,ap-„aia,c Line Lieutenant*, 1 Medical '■ienteriart Ct +
Reeves,of Ft.Gibbon),one Q.M.C.Lieutenant,and or.e Lieut *-Chao’
