IN receiving applications and max
ing up the list of men who will &C
to China and work under the flag OIL
the dragon.
When the war between Russia
and Japan broke out Mr.. Junger
became an enthusiastic admirer oil
the Japs. He had seen some oil
their work while stopping at one of
the japanese cities on his return
home from the American possess
sions in the Far East, and as a re-
suit he contended that the little
fellows would be the superior oil
the Russians in their military and
naval tactics. At that time, also,
his heart yearned to be soldier OF
fortune, and if he could have got
into Japan he would gladly have
joined the Japanese army in the
fight against the Russians.
Wnen ne saw In the daily papers
that agents of China were IN this
country attempting to secure Amer
lean soldiers to drill the Chinese he
got into touch with one of the Amer
lean officers, whose name was men
toned in connection with raising
the coterie of officers, and it is prob
able that through this channel he
has been accepted as one of the
Americans to 60 to China.
Louis clerked in the grocery
store of J. M. Huntington after his
return from Manila and up to about
a month ago, and when he quit he
gave no reason for the same, al
though his employer was greatly
surprised at his leave taking. That
he will make good drill officer for
the Chinese soldiers there is no
doubt, and THE GAZETTE will not be
surprised to hear of him taking
charge of a legion in the imperial
guards and defending the Emperor
and empress dowager's palace.

JUNGER TO GO TO CHINA
Louis Junger of Redwood Falls Said to
be Slated for an officer in
Chinese Regiment.
Great Secrecy Being Maintained in Sc
lecting American Officers
for Chinese Soldiers.

Louis Junger, a Redwood Falls
boy, who was with the Third Unit
ed States Infantry during the trou-
ole in the Philippines, will go to
China during the early portion of
July for the purpose of offering a
Chinese regiment.
The information comes in round
about way, Mr.. Junger not being
willing to confirm or deny it at this
time, with the exception of saying
that the matter has been suggested
to him by certain military men, who
also expect to leave at that time,
and that he really has no objections
to going to China this year. There
is, of course, more or less secrecy
to the movements of all the Ameri-
can soldiers who are contemplating
this trip.
China, ever since the China-Japa-
nese war, in which she was so bad
ly beaten, has felt the necessity of
placingIher soldiers under trained
men, who would drill them in all
kinds of military tactics, and par
ticularly give them instruction in
maneuvering for battles. In her
own territory such men as are
wanted seem to be sadly lacking
and during the past two or three
months there have been persistent
reports published in the daily pa
pers Of the United States that China
has had agents here looking for
American soldiers who would be
willing to 90 there and train her
soldiers. The report has it that
the agents have placed the matter
ia the hands Of two or three Ameri-
can officers, who are now engaged

Stock Shipments
Railroad and Ferryboat Rumors Galore
Always Ready to Hand.


The past few weeks have again
been prolific of stories relating to
stock shipments from this point
eastward via the &. & N w. Ry.
The Press has paid but little
attention to them. for the reason
that local Railroad and Fcrryboat /
news, in the years gone by. have
had all of the characteristics of the
news we now get from the Russo
japanese war: that is, you have
to contradict one week what you
have printed previously. Either
that, or they have been followed
by ignominious failure.
This time, however, the fol-
lowing appears to be an es-
tablished fact: An agent of the
said railroad company was here
the first of the week, and informed
a number of our citizens that he
had interviewed a number of the
leading stockmen living on the
eastern half of the Reservation
and had secured their promise that
they would ship by way of Forest
City, provided stockyards and
other facilities were provided, Sc
curing sufficient business to Justify
the Railroad company in providing
stockyards and other necessary IA
cilities, which they do right away.
We have not considered it worth
our while to waste shoe leather
and telephone fees to investigate
and find out if the last of these
stories is true, for the reason
allowed named. We feel that it is
far more profitable to make some
comments on the situation; in
other words we would like to have
a word or two about these rumors
with the people of this community.
If these stories should all be
true they are the forerunners of
what is called u ''boom.' This
word boom is generelly applied to
a speculative fever which draws
together the worst and lowest
elements-that is, lawlcss- from
far and near, who manage to kill
or shoot somebody, or place
temptations in the way of others.
to their ruin, and the placing in
office of class of officials who
have no regard for any laws that
have to do with Sabbath desecra
ton, drunkenness, gambling &c.
Some people say that you can't
have a boom or good times with
out the accompaniments of liquor
selling and drunkenness. The
Press differs with them on this
point. There are dozens of cities
larger then any that at present
exist in South Dakota which have
now strict prohibition. and get
along with only one or two men to
comprise their entire police force,
and we have never heard any
complaint from them of 'sduli-
ness"
Two conspicuous examples of
this are Berkeley, Cal. with 100000
inhabitants and Vinel and N. j.
All the deeds to lots in these
two cities prohibit the sale of
liquors as beverage. We can't
help but think that this condition
of things would be far more pref
cradle to every citizen of our town
than the scenes just enacted at
Bonesteel.
When the carpenters actually 90
to work on our NEW STOCK
YARDS The Press will try to tell
you all about it:
Meantime, if you want to buy
some good town lots in Forest
City at reasonable figure, don't
wait till you hear of GENUINE
boom.
