FOUGHT UP SAN JUAN HILL Popular Traveling Salesman Saw Service In Cuban Campaign—Met the President and Hobson After the Latter's Release Barker Van Zandt, the popular traveling salesman for Blake, Moffitt & Towne, wholesale paper dealers of Los Angeles, was in town the first of the week, and while in a reminiscent mood spoke of his experiences in the Cuban campaign. Mr. Van Zandt saw active service in the Spanish war, and was in the forefront of the fight at San Juan hill. Being of modest means, he rarely speaks of his record as a volunteer soldier, even to his best friends. "Yes, I was in Cuba, sure," he said in reply to a question. "I enlisted in the first New York volunteers. We were to go to the Island by transport, but you remember that scare about a squadron of Spanish cruisers off the north Atlantic coast? Boston and New York were in spasms. While there was not a Spaniard within thousands of miles of the eastern coast, except Cervera’s fleet, which the American navy was attending to, yet for safety the regiment was sent to Tampa by rail. We left New York June 17th. We landed at Liboney, and on July 3d pranced up San Juan hill. “There were 7000 of us. Gen. Chaffee was detailed with 2000 men to attack El Caney, and the rest of the division were to await his return. We were in a narrow defile before the attack on Santiago, when the Spanish began shelling us. We could not retreat, so we made the assault.” Belgian Colony Members of the Galician Horse company at the ranch of C. G.

We were in a narrow defile before the attack on Santiago, when the Spaniards began shelling us. We could not retreat, so we made the assault. Nobody gave the command to advance. We simply 'up and at 'em." "We were shelled by the Spaniards and lost many men, but they retreated to the city and we after them. The white flags of surrender were up before nightfall, and on the Fourth of July we marched into Santiago. It was lucky for the Spaniards there was no fighting on the Fourth. We wouldn't have done a thing to them on that day. "Cervera's ships made their attempted escape the day before we entered the town. They did not go very far. "I saw President Roosevelt at San Juan hill, and in Santiago shook hands with Hobson. He had just been released by the Spaniards, and walked down the line amid cheers. "I left Cuba in September. I saw the Merrimac which Hobson sunk in the channel, as well as the Spanish ships destroyed by the American navy along the southern shore of the island." Mr. Van Zandt was given an honorable discharge and later came to California, where for years past he has been engaged in the peaceful pursuit of selling paper to country newspaper publishers. He was recently married to an estimable Los Angeles lady and lives in a comfortable home in that city. Do your corns hurt you?

Belgian Colt Show Members of the Garden Grove Belvan Horse company held a colt show at the ranch of C. G. Sparkes in West Maheim on Saturday afternoon, a number of the finest looking colts, used by the Belgian stallion Lapeur, ever seen in this section being placed in exhibition. Owing to the busy seanth of the year, a number of farmers are unable to be present and show off their young Belgian stock. Of the number on parade the sixmonths’ old colt belonging to Robert Sparkes was without doubt the most perfect piece of horse flesh seen herebut. The youngster was foaled on Washington’s Birthday, and Bob has named the filly “Martha Washington.” He possesses another colt, four months which promises well. N. W. Roerden had his four-months’ colt in the show, and was of opinition it was one of the finest in the church.

Seekers in Forest Reserves At the application for listing agriral lands in national forests may be made as easy and simple as possible. The homeseeker, the forest service issued a blank form which is exd to prove of much benefit to applying for land under the Act June 11, 1906. Pending settlers were formerly ineed that no set form of application necessary, but that they should deceive the land accurately in a letter to forester. In attempting to comply with these instructions, applicants frequently omit some very necfy facts and sometimes the descripof the lands were so indefinite an examination was not warranted. Use forest officers would not have able to locate the claim from the caption. New form is very simple and will persons as much as possible into avoid the necessity of a reof application because of indefidescriptions. It is a two-sheet form with the first page reserved for application, the second and third forest service regulations under act and the amendments. On the Walnuts Dropping W. C. Mauerhan while in town yesterday said walnuts were dropping badly in some orchards in his section, as many as two-thirds of the nuts being on the ground on account of blight. “It makes me sick to see it,” he continued. “I dont know where the end of it will be.” If Governor Pardee could go through these orchards, doubtless he would come to the conclusion that a mistake was made in not locating the state experiment station in a locality where this walnut blight could be studied and a remedy discovered to better advantage than in a county which never yet raised a nut and takes no interest in the industry. Switchman Fined L. K. Marshall of this city had quite a strenuous experience in Los Angeles on Tuesday, when he took his aged mother to that city after her visit here. An eye-witness gives the following ac­count of the fining of a car switchman for his intolerable conduct: A./T. Baldwin, switchman for the Los Angeles railway company, after having been saved from a mob at Third and Spring streets by a policeman, was fined $10 on a charge of battery. Baldwin’s misdemeanor, which so angered fifty witnesses that they almost mobbed the officer and prisoner, was perpetrated upon L. K. Marshall when he sought to assist his aged mother upon a street car. Marshall is himself passed the half century mark while his mother is 75 years old. Marshall was in the act of lifting his moth- new form is very simple and will persons as much as possible in to avoid the necessity of a re-application because of indisdescriptions.

Baldwin's misdemeanor, which so angered fifty witnesses that they almost mobbed the officer and prisoner, was perpetrated upon L. K. Marshall when he sought to assist his aged mother upon a street car. Marshall is himself passed the half century mark while his mother is 75 years old. Marshall was in the act of lifting his mother to the step of the car and was on the wrong side. Baldwin rushed toward the couple and seized Marshall by the arm. The effect of his rough handling was to throw Marshall across the fender of the car. Mrs. Marshall barely saved herself from a severe fall by clutching the handrail of the car, but before she did this the severe shaking administered to her son, had transmitted itself to her through his retaining arm. The crowd with howls of rage started for Baldwin just as the policeman placed him under arrest. Baldwin pleaded that he feared the couple would get hurt and sought to place them out of danger.

Cronmiller, president of the California Vegetabe union, started East on Tuesday for the purpose of presenting the cause of the celery growers of Southern California before the interstate commerce commission. Cronmiller goes as the result of the request of the Celery Growers' association made at the mass meeting of celery growers at Wintersburg last week. At that meeting resolutions were passed protesting against the raise in freight rates on vegetables made by the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe, and a demand was made for a reduction of $25 a car for icing. Cronmiller hopes that he may be permitted to appear before the interstate commerce commission next Saturday. On that date at Chicago the commission will meet the railroads, and Cronmiller wants to get them all together, when he will present the figures that he believes will prove to the commission that an increase in freight rates would be unjust and prejudiced to the ranchers. If he cannot appear Saturday, Cronmiller will be given a hearing within a few days, although he may not be able to get the railroads and the commision together. Tuesday morning a large volume of data to be used in the fight was given to Cronmiller by H. S. Hazeltine, manager of the California Vegetable union, August 28.

Big Threshing Outfit Iriarte's steam threshing outfit passed through town yesterday from La Habra to the San Joaquin ranch, where it will thresh beans. The big engine trailed two water wagons and a wagon load of straw for fuel. The separator and ten four-horse wagons followed, making a procession two blocks long. The outfit stopped to take water. It will make the ninth threshing outfit on the San Joaquin ranch threshing barley and beans. Farmers are rushing through their threshing, seeking to get their crops harvested before the early showers. The bean crop is reported big. Barley is not yielding up to former years, but the quality is good.
