Dallas.-The Jackson Bros, owners
and operators of the 3O,0OO-acre Mule
head ranch near Dallas, S. D., have
again demonstrated river trade possi-
BILE with Sioux City by sending 300
head of hogs to market by steamer
The shipment was in charge of o. p.
Chambers, manager of the cattle de-
partment of the ranch The j. w. San
ford carried the cargo.
"All along the route found farm
ers and feeders who would welcome
the establishment of packet line to
Sioux City, provided adequate service
could be given" Mr.. Chambers de-
clared. Even now several of the big
gest ranchers in our district are con-
templating operating line to Sioux
City for their own use. This would
save considerable money and do away
with much unnecessary waiting, as
is the case when boats are chartered"
ION our main ranch we have 2,400
breeding COWS and the Crilly ranch to
the north of us has fully that many
more," he declared. "This does not
include the steers being run on both
places. as each one is capable of turn
ing out over 5000 cattle every year,
In this and a river shipment sent
last year to Sioux City by jackson
Bros. the amount of money expended
for the return load far exceeded that
received for the stock.
When the boat leaves for the ranch
this time it will carry $4,000 pounds of
cement, salt and groceries, all from
Sioux City warehouses, Mr.. Chambers
said.
"In 1915 the trip was made only as
an experiment, but 1t turned out so
profitable that we decided to make it
a regular thing, and If our present
plans go right we will make another
trip in September" he asserted.
The river is in bad shape below
Yankton, according to Mr.. Chambers.
Several time the boat was held up on
sandbars and snags, but he said all
that is needed to build up river trade
for Sioux City is clean channel be-
tween here and Yankton, which is the
worst place along the entire route.
Railroad transportation is much
harder on live stock than by river, Mr..
Chambers asserted. On boat the
stock continues to grow just the same
as in the feed lots, but it makes a
correspondingly large shrink when
bumped around in trains. The loss
added to the expense of hauling or
driving the stock overland, which is
seventeen miles in the case of Jackson
Bros, swells the railroad transporta-
ton rates.
About twenty-four hours of travel
were taken to complete the down river
trip, although Mr.. Chambers stated
that the time would have been cut
down considerably had the channel
been free. The boat was chartered
from Capt. Albert Ayers and was un-
der his command. No serious mishaps
were encountered.

New Ruler Goes to Kingdom
OF The Dutch East Indies

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, March 2.
A new ruler for the forty-five million
inhabitants of the Dutch East Indies
has just left for his post in the person
of Count Johan Paul van Limburg
Stirnm.
The new governor general belongs
to one of the most aristocratic Holland
families. He studied at Leyden Uni
versity, where he received the degree
of Doctor of Laws. Entering the Dip
lomatic service, he was soon reckoned
among the best of the corps. He has
at different times served at the Dutch
legations in Rome, Constantinople and
Picking. 1t was in these two latter
capitals that he acquired what knowl-
edge he possesses of Netherlands In
dian interests. Then up to the time of
his appointment two or three months
ago he was Dutch minister in the
Scandinavian countries. On prev
ious visit to the East Indies he is stat
ed to have made deep impression on
high government circles, both by his
perhonality and his correct insight,
especially into Mohammedan affairs.
Just before his departure, the Count
had lengthy conference with the lead
ers Of various important colonial en-
terprises and societies, and as he was
further entertained at farewell ban
quet by Prince Henry of the Neither
lands. There was distinguished
to see him off ON his voyage,
which has been made so much longer
than usual by the fact that the Dutch
mailboats now take the route around
the Cape of Good Hope, instead of via
the Suez Canal, owing to the war.

the new governor general takes charge
in the Indies at critical period in
colonial history, not only as concerns
Holland but all other colonial powers
In both Java and the Outer Possess
IONS" as the Dutch call the other
islands of the archipelago, there is ar
awakening of the national conscious
ness, like that of other Asiatic peoples
and while the Javanese are far below
the stage of political development
which their neighbors, the Filipinos
have reached, there has long been a
movement toward self-government, or
al least progressive policy that gives
the natives more and more to say in
their own affairs. This is discussed
in Holland where the authorities are
saying that the only sure defense for
the Dutch Empire in the East is the
general military mobilization of the
natives themselves, and that the only
basis on which this could be develop
ed properly would be granting the
natives considerable measure of rep
resentative government.
The Netherlands, with a feet that
is comparatively speaking, of little
consequence, and a small colonial
army of but $4,000 men of whom 49,
600 are natives, can, it is freely adj
mitted by well-informed Dutchmen,
only hope to retain her dominion by
so jealousy guarding and even ex-
tending her present open door colon
ial policy, and so efficiently admin
istering this great colonial inherit
aEce, as to make it to the interest of
ali the other great powers to keep any

ARREST SUPPORTS
MURDERESS

/ TOXIC, March 2.-The belief that
the attempt to assasinate Premir
Count Okuma with bombs on January
u was the work of political agitators
has been supported by the arrest of
four young men who embody modern
iRclitical redicalism of a most extreme
type. The affair may prove very SER
ious for them if convicted because the
law of Japan provides even the death
penalty for those found guilty of
stealing explosives.
According to the police, Umataro
Shimoura is the ringleader of the
band and it was he who actually threw
the bombs at Count Okuma as he
was returning to his residence from a
state banquet at the imperial palace.
The other arrested men include Wag-
Gro Fukuda, a newspaper writer; Ju-
trc Onikura and Masakichi Wada.
Fukuda, the newspaper writer, has
been leading member of the Peoples
Diplomacy Association which has
Won the reputation in recent years of
being always against the government
and has constantly been demanding a
more aggressive policy towards China.
Also, he is alleged to have been in
volved in the riots in Toxic which oc-
Cured subsequently to the making of
the treaty of Portsmouth on the con-
clusion of war between Russia and
Japan. Two men are alleged to have
confessed but the details of their
confession have not been made public.
Public opinion is inclined to class
the defendants under the type of mod
! arn Japanese known as "ronins." The
original forty-seven ronons were dis
tinguished samauri of the 18th cen
fury who committed suicide aftey they
had avenged the death of their leader
The term ronin has been corrupted I'M
til today it signifies men without any
fixed occupation who connect them
selves with political movements. Lit
orally ronin means wanderer. The
men are popularity supposed to be at
the service of politicians or political
Iparties who desire to launch move
ment against the government in
power.
The Toxic Asahi and other papers
declare that some political leaders
may be involved in the plot upon
life of Count Okuma. The Hochi
which is supposed to be the organ Of
the Premier has even gone so far as
to allege that the would-be assasins
had been given money by a certain
political leader. Public opinion, how.
ever has not determined to its owl
satisfaction whether the men actet
as a demonstration against the domes
tic policy or foreign dealings of the
Okuma ministry.
