Near East. Sunny(?) France, the picturesque German Rhine, scenic Switzerland, balmy Italy, mystic Egypt, the Holy Land, and Athens, seat of art, with its wonderful ruins of the Acropolis. These and many, many other things, beautiful, historic and mysterious, came beneath the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Mitchell, of Los Angeles, formerly of this city, where they own large holdings, who have just returned from a six months' tour of Europe and the Near East, and are now stopping at the Hotel Valencia. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell are very entertaining in their descriptions of the places seen on their trip. The trip was made to New York via Chicago and Buffalo, where they took ship over the White Star Ocean Olympic to Cherbourg, France, and thence by train to Paris. Mrs. Mitchell, in speaking of the trip, stated it was altogether one of the most wonderful events of her life. They spent six weeks in Paris, making detours to the battlefields of Lens, Arras, Vimy Ridge and Chateau Thierry. The Canadians have erected a monument at Vimy Ridge in commemoration of the brave fight put up there by their soldiers. They also visited Versailles, where the table on which the peace was signed with Germany is on exhibition. The fame of this hall dates back to the time of Louis IV. Its fame is also interlaced with that of Napolean I. Visiting Lyons, they went to Germany via Melz, or rather into the occupied portion of the German republic! The trip from Metz was made via Wiesbaden down the left bank of the Rhine and Moselle to Coblenz, where they found the greater part of the American army of occupation. There they met Lieut. Hatfield, of Anaheim, spending a nevening with him. Mrs. Mitchell stated that the boys in Coblenz see into being a wonderful time. One of the attractions of Coblenz is the huge statue of William I of Germany, which stands on the right bank of the Rhine. It was reported to have been destroyed by the French, but this report is false. A large American flag now flies near it. One of the most conspicuous things about Germany is that it is an ocean of tears. Mrs. Mitchell said. There is scarcely a home where the death of one or more members of the family is not mourned, lost in the recent war. In November, the Mitchels left Germany via Baden Baden and St. Gottard Pass to the lovely little Swiss resort of Lugano, where they remained two weeks. They also visited Zurich and Munich, and went via Milan to Venice and thence to Rome. The climate of the Eternal City being very much like that of So. Calif., they remained there two weeks, visiting the catacombs, the Vatican, and all the places of interest. Rome contains the major portions of the objects of interest to the European tourists. Sight-seeing is still done here by means of horses. FINE OIL SHOWING ON "FLAT" LEASES Prospects for development of an oil field on the flats between Anahelm and Richfield were never brighter; declare oilmen who have viewed the showings of gas and oil at the Placentia Oil Co. and Heffern No. 2. At the former, the drill point has been caught in the shell just above the oil sand. There is stuck, but the outlet o foil sand was sufficient for the oil to push up the casing and fill the ditches. Following a short delay, it is expected a regular oil well will be brought in. At Heffern No. 2 oil has also been filling the ditches. There is a scrawble for leases near both properties. Walnut Growers Will Talk Building Needs At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Anaheim Walnut Growers' Assn Thursday of next week building needs will be considered. If present prospects for a heavy crop develop, following the comparatively light crop of last year, the association will be absolutely up against it for room at the present plant if the crop is to-be packed in time for the first pool, which is considered highly desirable. This has always been the case with the Anaheim association, but not so with some others, notably Santa Ana, where a loss of $50,000 was experienced to growers one season because second pool prices were so much lower than first. Oil-Bearing Shale At 250 Feet Near Anaheim Is there oil in the immediate Anaheim district? How about this! Yesterday, the Anderson Drilling Co., while digging a water well on the Osborne ranch 1-1-2 miles south of Anaheim, ran into blue shale bearing unmistakable signs of oil. A large specimen was brot to the Plain Dealer office, where it is now on display. which the oriental and modern are combined, giving it a unique beauty. There is another church near in which Protestants, Catholics and Greek Catholics and Koptes worship. They also visited Bethlehem where the Church of the Nativity is the center of attraction. In this church on Christmas night the Catholics celebrated mass and the crowd was all the building could possibly accommodate. Returning from Palestine to Carro, Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell took a Cook's dish. A rich strike covered in cording from work from the working result, Chas, Eyel John Fisher, I. Harvey and other officials went up. According to a high grade silver been found. It an average and for 120 feet. It $160,000 worth graded, that is for the smotherer of putting it thru. Calif.

BIDS UPON FOR PAR Six subm Co. and two by and Granite Co. The county park Florence Yoch, Pasadena, have supervisors became to be too high. The Bly Stone A six hour ride from Rome took Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell to Naples, from where they visited Pompeii. Excavations which have been in progress there since 1907 have brot to light almost the whole city. They did not go to Vesuvius, but went to see a dead crater. Spending a week in Naples, they took ship aboard the Italian steamer Esperia to Alexandria, Egypt, the oldest town in the world with the exception of Damascus, and thence by rail a four hours' ride to Cairo. Pro mCairo they took train for Jerusalem over the new railroad built by General Allen's forces during the war, which runs along the Suez canal and across the desert wilderness traversed by the children of Israel under the leadership of Moses. The route lay along the base of M. Sinai, also where God gave Moses the ten commandments, and over the hills of Judea to the Holy City. The hills of Judea are worthless deserts and Jerusalem I am a deplorable state of filthiness at the present time, tho the Turk has gone out forever. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher which stands on the site where Christ was buried and the Mosque of Omar which stands on the site of Solomon's Temple are among the attractions, tho the Mosque of Omar looks bare and desolate surrounded by lawnless masses of stone. The prettiest objects in the city, however, is the Protestant church built on the Mount of Olives in a 10-acre concession obtained from the Turks by the German Kaiser before the war. The Kaiser had the church constructed on a style in which the oriental and modern are combined, giving it a unique beauty. There is another church near in which Protestants, Catholics and Greek Catholics and Koptes worship. They also visited Bethlehem where the Climate of the Eternal City being very much like that of So. Calif., they remained there two weeks, visiting the catacombs, the Vatican, and all the places of interest. Rome contains the major portions of the objects of interest to the European tourists. Sight-seeing is still done there by means of horses and carriages and the charges are very reasonable, and the hotels excellent.

They also "took in" the wonders of the obelisks, the tombs of the Pharoah's and the excavated temples. To visit most of these it required a short ride by mule from the river. They also saw the ivory carving works on the upper Nile where Egyptians carve all manner of articles from ivory tusks. Returning to Alexandria, they boarded the American Express and Cook's combined excursion boat, Caronia, Feb. 11, for New York returning via Athens, Naples and Gibraltar. The vessel changed its course because of rumors that vessels coming from the Mediterranean were placed under quarantine, and put into Boston from where the passengers were put aboard an express train for New York, not having to lay in quarantine. The American holidays, Lincoln's birthday, Washington's birthday and Valentine day were observed aboard the boat by special dinners and special music.

It is thought he has gone to Nevada. The total amount of the checks cashed is not known, since more are coming in each day. RICH STRIKE AT SILVERADO MINES A rich strike of ore has been uncovered in the Silverado mines, according to word that came down from the workings last night. As a result, Chas, Eygabroad, B. Fischer, John Fisher, Dr. C. W. Harvey and other stockholders and officials went up to the mine today. According to the report, a vein of high grade silver and zinc ore has been found.

Walnut Asn, at a meeting in Los Angeles this week, decided to proceed with construction of a $245,092 six-story building at Seventh and Mill Sts.

The directors who include some of the biggest business men of the Teachepli, decided that building costs have hit the bottom, with unemployment having passed the peak and lumber and other material marks stiffening.

JURY FINDS WOMAN'S MIND WAS SOUND After deliberating from 3 until 6:15 p.m., a jury in Judge Monroe's court Los Angeles, returned a verdict finding Mrs. Amauda J. Edison of sound mind, but a victim of undue influence at the time she made her will. When Mrs. Edison died it was found that she had left her estate, valued at $7800 to neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. William Delaney. The probate of the will was contested by Mrs. Edison's daughter, Mrs. Alice Nichol, who asserted that her mother, in a letter to her, said she would remember her. Undue influence and mental incapacity were charged. It developed during the trial that Mrs. Edison had married a second time after she came to Los Angeles and kept the marriage secret from her daughter and friends in the east for 14 years. Principals in the case are well-known here. Atty Arthur G. Baker represented Mrs. Alice Nichol. JUST THE JIST Cooler. How about the straw hat?

Rip-Roaring Comedy Vaudeville Feature Satirizing police conditions almost universally prevalent in our large cities, "Lock 'Em Up," the one act comedy which is to be one of the big features of the American Legion vaudeville show at the Grand theatre on the evenings of April 5th and 6th, affords opportunities for clever characterization to every member of its large cast. Written for laughing purposes only, it lays no clai into dramatics distinction, but the infectious humor of its line sand situations is almost irresistable. In addition to the one act comedy, the program includes nine other acts among which is a dramatic playlet, the intensity of which not only serves to hold the interest of the audience throughout, but also serves by way of contrast to accentuate the humor which is a feature of a large majority of the ten acts which comprised the program. With the exception of Ray Hicks, director of the entire production, and a few professionals who donated their services to aid the local post of the American Legion, the entire cast of more than 50 people are talented amateurs well known in Anaheim and vicinity. The tickets are going like hot cakes, Legion men reported today. Dr. Huhn's Preliminary Hearing 2 p.m. Friday Dr. Alice Huhn of Anaheim, will be given preliminary hearing before Judge Howard at 2 p.m., Friday, on the charge of practicing chiropractic without a permit from the state medical board. RESTRICTIONS UPON WHISKEY REMOVED LOS ANGELES, March 31—Restrictions on the withdrawal of whiskey and wine from bonded warehouses by retail druggists were lifted. The opening address of welcome was given by Horace Head, Santa Ana, who defined the organization as one that is a booster for Orange-co and a clearing house for all the ideas of the county, and a place to blow steam and register kicks. H. A. Lake, of Garden Grove, responded with the hope Santa Ana would invite the A. C. of C. again. He gave a word of praise for the elegance of the new hotel. Following the response of Mr. Lake, the minutes of the last meeting were read and corrected. The subject of good roads was raised by G. I. Huff, chairman of the good roads committee, who stated the committee had held two conferences with the district attorney since the last meeting relative to keeping the roads from breaking down, and that this official had promised all possible co-operation in dealing with speeders and overloaded trucks by means of the county traffic officers. It is proposed to put on two additional traffic cops, it was stated. He recommended better drainage and underground railroad crossings where possible. He also urged that more permanent materials be given attention in road building, and that measures be taken to prevent state trucks from mropping sharp stones along the highways. He also urged legislators be petitioned to amend the constitution permitting the counties to tax freight carrying trucks. This brought on a general discussion of means for saving the highways which are being cut to pieces by excessive traffic, and statements made by the managers of large manufacturing concerns to the effect that if the truck load is cut the price of living will go up were labeled as falsehoods intended to mislead the unthinking public. It is only now that the people of So. Calif. are coming to realize the value of good roads, it was stated. Tom McFadden of Anaheim, declared that he had heard of good roads but that he had had more experience with bad roads, and that while the heavy trucks might be blamed with their proportionate damage to the highways that part of the blame should be shifted where it rightfully belongs—on the shoulders of the county supervisors who permit the selection of poor material for the construction of the roads and cited West Center-st paving in Anaheim as an example. Predictions were made by one speaker that the time would soon come when double highways would have to be built; one for trucks and vehicles going one way and the other for those going another way. Low Wallace expressed the hope, however, that this will not be done until the coast boulevard is completed, as he declared this is going to be some road. He gave his opinion that one good way to keep from breaking up the highways is to ship the heavy long-haul freight by rail. No one realizes just how much the railroads have done towards building up Orange-co, he said, and they should be... RESTRICTIONS UPON WHISKEY REMOVED LOS ANGELES, March 31.—Restrictions on the withdrawal of whisky and wine from bonded warehouses by retail druggists were lifted today in new orders issued by Revenue Commissioner Williams, which become effective tomorrow, according to dispatches received in Los Angeles from Washington.
