WHY SEVENTH KICKS
EVERT IMPOSITION NEAPED ON
THE BOYS PROM THE SOUTH
A LOS ANGELES MAN'S STORY
Ho Wonder They Objected—Only One
1 Chance Remains for Them to Get
to the Front
Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters,
sweethearts and friends, as well aa people
In general, will all be glad to learn that If
the boys of the. Seventh regiment cannot go
to the front they will at least soon be placed
In a respectable, clean and healthful camp
ground. Such an order was issued on Mon
day, to take effect as soon as the next ex
pedition sailed, and this event will proba
bly take place very soon now.
What a really tough time the boys have
had sinoe leaving home will probably never
fully be known, as affairs of military life
are not discussed so freely or generally as
are civil matters. But there are many facts
known now that are enough to show plain
ly what wretched treatment has been
accorded tbe boys of Southern California,
even to the palming off on them of locations
and food that were absolutely refused by
other regiments.
In the first place, many ot the members
of the Los Angeles contingent ot soldiery
left goed aud lucrative positions for the
sale purpose of going to the front. They
received every encouragement to believe
that their regiment would be among the
first sent forward, and ln this belief their
enthusiasm prompted them to hasten the
preparations for departure to such an ex
tent that they were the flrst regiment in
the state to move. Excepting the local
soldiery of San Francisoo, the Seventh was
the first tn camp at San Francisco; but
what has that to do with their assignment
for duty? Apparently nothing. Some of
the Indignities and impositions to which
they have been subjected are well told by
a Los Angeles citizen who recently visited
them in camp. Be says:
"The boys of the Seventh are absolutely
discouraged and disheartened. Despite the
fact that they were the first volunteer regi
ment to report for duty at Ban Franolsco,
they have seen regiment after regiment
sent forward In advance of themselves, un
til they not only wholly despair of seeing
any active service at all, but are forced to
believe that all their friends have totally
deserted them. Infantry and oavalry from
Utah, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Min
nesota, Kansas, New York, Nebraska,
Bouth Dakota and Wyoming, some of them
arriving ln camp at 'Frisco weeks after
the Seventh, have been ordered to Manila
ahead of the Southern California boys, and
the only organisation receiving anything
like similar treatment are the Fourteenth
Utah cavalry boys, who are to be recom
pensed In part for their disappointment by
a sojourn at Tosemlte, after which they
will be disbanded.
"Tbe boys oould have endured the un
fair treatment In this respect, however,
had they not been 111-used ln other matters
over which someone certainly had control.
Their camp ground at Camp Merrltt is a
literal bed of sand, stench and filth. None
ot the sanitary arrangements usually made
In a camp where a large body of men are to
make their headquarters have been made,
and the 1000 men who compose the military
city there have bad only three makeshift,
unsanitary closets, built of rough boards,
to accommodate the entire camp's popula
tion.
"Chinese skeletons have been dug from
only a few Inches below the surface of the
sand in the heart of the camp snd the con
ditions aro so terrible that a New York
colonel absolutely refused to permit his
regiment to camp there even for a short
time, asserting that rather than do so he
would pay for other grounds out of the
regimental funds, or If need be from his
own pocket. He was promptly sent to the
Presidio, from which the Seventh had some
time before been moved ln order to make
room for men whose officers had a pull and
knew when and where to 'kick.'
"Another horrible statement made openly
by the boya and substantiated by some of
the officers is that 1300 pounds of pork which
was refused by the regular.army was sent
over to the Seventh volunteers, accepted
and eaten. All of these impositions have
played sad havoc among even the healthi
est men In the camp, and fevers and dis
eases have secured such a hold that even
better quarters at this time cannot prevent
serious results in many Instances. One of
the surgeons told me that the camp's loca
tion Is one of the most exposed and unsan
itary he ever saw and la continued ln spite
of the recognized fact that there are many
more preferable spots not far distant.''
The blame tor all this has not been def
initely placed, and in their despair the boys
may have unjustly accused Individuals or
departments In nowise at fault. Certain it
is, however, that there Is a screw loose
somewhere, and ft would seem to one on
the outside to be. a fit subject for Investiga
tion. Camp Merrltt was yesterday con
demned as an unsanitary nuisance.
There is now a possibility that the Sev
enth may get In on the next expedition, the
Scandla, one ot the transports to be used,
having room for one more regiments than
has bean assigned to her. This ls looked
upon as a last ohance and every effort ls
being put forth to have the necessary Order
lrsued. The Scandla will not sail for prob
ably two weeks.

POSTOFFICE NOTES
Transmisslssippl Stamps Exhausted in
the Treasury Department
The Trans-Mlsslesippl two-cent postage
stamps have proved so popular that the
United States treasury department le un
able to meet the demand, and all orders
from postmasters have been oanceled for
the present. Tho supply in tho local of Ace,
of that denomination, Is entirely exhaust
ed, and an order has been sent to the
department for a new lot, which, accord
ing to advices recotved yesterday. Is net
likely to be filled at present. An order
haa again been Issued reiterating what has
been said several times, that the Trans-
Mississippi series ls not Intended to dis
place the ordinary stamps and that both;
kinds are received for postage.
From some misunderstanding in the
minds of the public lt ls necessary also to
state once more that postage stamps and
revenue stamps are not interchangeable,
and each Is used for Its own purpose.
Letters mailed with revenue stamps at
tached are held for postage just the same
as though there were no stamps on them.
Mistakes of this character are constantly
repeated, to the contusion and detention of
malls.
By a late ruling of the department, rev
enue stamps are not necessary on cheeks
signed officially by postmasters.
NEWS OF THE RAILWAYS
VALLEY ROAD WTXL NOT BUILD
TO THE SANTA FB
The Directors So Express Themselves.
Freight by Team to Anaheim.
Notes and Personals
At a meeting of the directors of the Val
ley railway ln San Francisco on Tuesday
last the old board of officers were re-elect
ed. The earnings of the road were found 10
be very satisfactory though no dividends
will be paid, as the money received will
be put right back Into Improvements of
the line. The opinion of the board was also
expressed on the question ot making a
connection with the Santa Fe railway by
building from Bakersfield, tt being decided
that the time was not ripe for such an ex
pensive undertaking, and that when lt was
done lt would have to be brought about by
a new corporation.
An entrance into Oakland will also be
deferred indefinitely. Enough money Is on
hand to provide for tbe completion ot the
Una to Point Richmond and to pay for the
two ferry boats for use between that point
and San Francisco. Though the company's
freight rates are 331-3 per cent lower than
than were those ot the Southern Pacific
two years ago, and its passenger ratea 26
per cent lower, the range of profit has been
ample.
Notes and Personals
Work was commenced on the new line of
the Southern Pacific from Chlno to Onta
rio via Euclid avenue. The Chlno Valley
train will be permanently laid off.
Anaheim merchants patronise teams
which do the freighting between this city
and that place. These teamsters charge
the same rates as the railway, but instead
of the consignee having to go to the depot
to get his goods, the teamsters haul lt to
his door. The same method is In vogue
at all of the places between this oity and
Anaheim, and has materially cut into the
business of the railways.
T. Evans, who ls of the Southern Pacific's
force in Arizona, ls visiting friends ln San
ta Barbara.
Superintendent Muir and Assistant Prior,
with Chief Engineer Hood of the Southern
Pacific company are out on the,desert mak

The contract for building the new steel
bridge across the river and the tracks of

been let to Sawyer & Arthur. It Is to be
completed by November 1. It will be 2000
feet long and will cost about 123,000.
JUDGE WRIGHT RESIGNS

dered his resignation as chief executive of
the Jeffersonlan society, the same to take
effect Immediately. The meeting was held
In the law office of Crelghton As Rogers ln
the Btimson blook at the judge's request,

lar meeting of the organization.

feeling that he ls not able to give as much
time as the best lnteresta,of the organisa
tion require. The resignation as submit
ted, reads as follows:
"Executive Committee, Jeffersonlan So
ciety: Thankful for the uniform kindness
and courtesy shown me by you all, I beg to
hand you herewith my resignation as your
presiding officer, to take effect immedi
ately. "C. C. WRIGHT."

and about thirty responded to the call.
R. Newel Chappel was chosen as chair
man of the meeting, and Foster C. Wright
secretary. Ways and means were dis
cussed for forming a permanent league
In the county, the local association being
the nucleus from which the members wish
to build a strong organization.

played at last night's meeting, the Young
Men's Democratic league will, ln a few
weeks, number a thousand members.

new league; desirable quarters will be
speedily obtained, and all earnest young
