Trouble at SawtelIc.

The Los Angeles Herald reports the
veterans in the Pacific Branch of the
National Military Home on the verge of
riot on account of short rations. The
complaints of mismanagement have be-
come so numerous that the business
men of Sawtelle are taking an interest
in the matter. and inquiring whether
the veterans get the full benefit of the
money appropriated. 1t is alleged that
since Gov. Cochrane assumed control,
nearly two years ago, things have be-
come steadily worse. and now the vet
terans will have to go without meat
for the next Is days, because Gov
Cochrane says that the appropriation
has been exhausted Gov Cochrane
says that this ought not to create much
hardship, since a man at his age can
easily live on two pounds of meat a
month. There are $500 veterans at
pT sent in the Home. but they fear to
make complaint outside lest they will
be discharged. Several who have done
so have been summarily dismissed from
the Home. 1t is also charged that a
very poor quality of coffee is furnished
and so little sugar that the veterans
have to buy their own sugar outside.
The blame is all laid upon Gov. Coch-
rane and Treasurer E. w. Moore. Gov
Cochrane makes light of the complaints,
but says that the Home has only s42 on
hand and rations will be short until
July /. There is plenty of beans, pota-
toes and hominy. and he doesn't see
why there should be any cases of starv-
alton. AS to the potatoes being bad
he says that all June potatoes raised
in California are not up to the stand
ard, and he has to accept the best he
can get.

Florida Has Many Advantages.

Editor National Tribune: 1 am just

enjoyed every minute while away, even
on shipboard. Some of the party Were
seasick, but they were all the better
for it when they reached shore. Among
the advantages enjoyed by Florida as
compared with the country west of
the Mississippi is that of a choice OF
transportation. One can go either by
ship or car. The longer part of our
trip was by water, from Baltimore to
Jacksonville, and thence by car direct
to the colony. Our party, without ex-
ception, was delighted with the colony
site and prospects. The Tribune has
not overdrawn the possibilities of the
region in which the colony is located.
We are going to have a prosperous
community. Everything favors us.
The climate is the best in the United
States The water is good and plenti-
full. We can have fresh water fishing
in our neighborhood lakes, and it is
not a far journey to either the Atlantic
or Gulf with oysters, clans. crabs and
big salt water fish. We were told that
the Summer is the of season in vege-
tables and fruits, but one would not
think so to see some of the gardens.

picking leftover oranges and grape

A Testimonial Letter.
Kissimmee, Fla, June "a, 1909.

Editor National Tribune: We, the
members of an excursion party which
| has just visited Kissimmee and the Old
Soldiers Colony lands, wish to express
our feelings of gratitude and affection
not only TO Seminole Land and Invest
ment Co. for all the courtesies extended
| to us by your company, but to make
special mention Of an Indebtedness to
| the gentleman in whose special care you
| committed us, Mr.. Moses Folsom, in
| stant in season and out of season in
| looking after our comfort, anticipating
our wants and striving in every way to
save US extra effort and anxious
! thought. His treatment of us and
| bearing toward us was that OF; Chris
tian gentleman. We found ourselves
most comfortably and pleasantly domf-
ciled at Runnymede, and tho We
came down upon mine host" Mr.. Wal
ter Lorenz, and his worthy assistants
quite unexpectedly and gave them very
snort notice. yet they served US most
| of genuine Southern hospitality.
We would add We were very much
| pleased with the colony lands and the
way IN which 1t is being laid out
The boulevard running from across
the railroad to the lake especially drew
our attention as being a fine specimen
| of road-building. We find the whole
| situation really better than we expect
| ed and believe we have found the COM
pany that will give us a square deal.
In conclusion we feel this token of our
appreciation would not be complete did
We fail to mention the uniform cour-
tesy and hospitality with which our
party was received by the good people
of Kissimmee. who were untiring in
their efforts to make our stay among
them pleasant and enjoyable one.

VETERANS IN FLORIDA.
Letters from Comrades Who Made Summer Visit to the ST.
Cloud Colony.
A New Yorker Writes About the Colony

, A New Yorker Writes About the Colony.
Editor National Tribune: My trip to
the ST. Cloud Colony was a surprise
and a delight. / expected to find it
hot down in Florida, with plenty of
mosketos and flies. 1t was quite warm,
but not oppressive, during the middle
of the day. There was always breeze
stirring, however and in the shade it
was comfortable AS soon as the sun
went down there was a perceptfble
change in temperature just right for
sleeping. There were mosketo MEETINGS
over the beds at the hotel, but 1 did
not have mine down, and was not an
noyed. Some of our party claimed to
have heard vagrant mosketo hum
ming around during the night, but no
one was troubled. l was told by old
residents that they never had occasion
to use nettingS on windows or doors,
and, in fact, they brag about their
Summers. and claim that the warm sea-
in the North, while the Winters well,
they can hardly be compared in the
matter of comfort. Sunstrokes, / am
told, are unknown. The warm season
is longer than in the North, but no part
of it is as extreme as the majority OF
the warm season OF tne NoTtne.H
States. The climate was a most graft
flying surprise to me and others of our
party. The opinion of all was that The
National Tribune Committee made a
wise choice in selecting the colony loca-
ton. While we did not see all parts Of
the colony property, we believe 1t would
be hard to find more uniformly fertile
body of land SO eligibly located. The
townsite faces a large lake. Surveyors
and graders were at work getting things
in shape for the coming of the COM
rades. l thought as l stood by the lake
and looked back over the site what a
change will be wrought in a year or two
after the boys get busy. i could tell
you about the fishing and bathing ad
vantages. and of the great variety of
products of the all-the-year-'round
but some of the others may write you.
and l close in belief that the St. Cloud
Colony is certain to be a great success.
