Two islands -were built to the southwest of the originahbne and tied to it by causeways. In 1915 and 1920 "made" land was added and as foreign ships were permitted to dump their ballast there, much of this "made" ground is foreign soil. The island, which had earlier names of KioSk or Gull island and Oyster island, was named for Samuel Ellis, a Manhattan butcher who purchased it in the latter part of the 18th century. The government bought the island in 1808 and used it for many years as a powder magazine. It was not converted into an immigrat.'on Ration until 1891.

If it's ever your good fortune to get up to Summit Lake, Wisconsin, you'll probably run into Pete Rasmussen, "North Western" agent. Pete's a busy man, selling tickets, handling freight and express, operating telegraph keys and looking after North Western" business generally. Lilte hundreds of other "North Western" agents, he's oing a praiseworthy wartime job. Pete's been with the "North Western" since 1906. In '09 he came to Summit Lake, where, as he says, the fascination of the North Woods "got him." « Rasmussen knows that right now his work is more important than ever before in his railroad career. For uniformed men are on the move and war materials must keep rolling. It's a job not only for Pete Rasmussen and the "North Western,vbut for all American railroads. Busy as he is,'Pete Rasmussen has other things that concern him. •His son, Sergeant Donald,^stationed in Alaska, is one of them. And there's Lieutenant Bruce, now on an unknown island in the Pacific. A third son, Fred, is a Sergeant in the Air Corps, while Wallace is in radio training at the Great Lakes. Still two other sons, twins, just turned 18, now await their call to the colors! The war has become a very personal matter to thousand^ in the "North Western" family. In the truest sense of the word they are fighting, whether in uniform or not. Small wonder Pete Rasmussen stays on the job, no matter what the hour, when there s work to be done. He wants his boys back--quick!
