This means that whether the company has a producer or not will be ascertained within a few weeks. Signs continue favorable. The Wonder Oil Co. has pulled the lost shoe out of its well on Brookhurst-rd and is expected to recover the lost piece of drill pipe in a day or two and resume drilling. The Coast Land Co. has drilled 400 feet the last week, and today is well into the 2200-2300-foot level. Gas bubbles continue to show in the sluice box. The Gaddie Well No. 1, half a mile south of Cypress, continues to meet a hard formation and had not yet reached 3100 feet today. Cypress was interested today in a report that tar sand had been found at 2200 feet in the Carmenita well three miles northeast of Cypress. The same formation was found in the Gaddie well at 750 feet. Land available is rapidly diminishing, and speculation in acreage is active. A. H. Hansen recently sold 20 acres at $1250 per acre to Long Beach parties. The land lies three-eighths of a mile south of the Gaddie well and now $2000 per acre. TO RETURN HOME SOON Will Settle Affairs in Germany and Come Back to Prison NEW YORK, March 18.—Love in funds, willing to do his bit in prison as a slacker and ready to expose those who aided his national escape, Grover Cleveland Bergdoll is preparing to return to the United States, Norman Hapgood, editor of Hearst's International Magazine, declared today following receipt of a cablegram from a representative in Berlin. The announcement came in connection with an article appearing in the April issue of the magazine, issued today, written by Leighton Blood, who declares he went to Germany as a representative of the American Legion and with the approval of the state department and obtained Bergdoll's promise to surrender. Blood is now in Berlin waiting for Bergdoll to wind up his affairs. He will bring Bergdoll back, Hapgood said, on a ship sailing soon. Sensational disclosures in connection with the escape of Bergdoll may be expected immediately upon the slacker's arrival here. Blood states in the magazine an article. "Bergdoll's escape in April 1920." Blood says, "was one of the best arranged affairs in the history of America." Those responsible for it, the article states, "were men high in the confidence of their government." After several conferences with Bergdoll at Eberbach, according to Blood's account, Bergdoll agreed to return to the United States. Only the closing up of his affairs, it is said, holds up the departure. Bergdoll has collected a quantity of scientific instruments which cannot be taken out of German and must be disposed of and hailed several game preserves in Baden that he must liquidate Blood declared. The chief motive behind Bergdoll's abandonment of his exile according to Blood, is the pinche condition of his finances. The funds he took with him on his flight were soon dissolved.

Cypress was interested today in a report that tar sand had been found at 2200 feet in the Carmenita well three miles northeast of Cypress. The same formation was found in the Gaddie well at 750 feet. Land available is rapidly diminishing, and speculation in acreage is active. A. H. Hansen recently sold 20 acres at $1250 per acre to Long Beach parties. The land lies three-eighths of a mile south of the Gaddie well and now $2000 per acre is being asked for it. Mrs. John Silvas has sold 10 acres one-quarter of a mile west of the well to J. V.

C. Hayden, local manager of the Southern Counties Gas Co., that this utility had 19,233 meters in service last month, as against 15,342 in February, 1523.

Of the total of 286 miles not yet reached 3100 feet today. Bergdoll has collected a quantity of scientific instruments which cannot be taken out of Germany and must be disposed of and have leased several game preserves in Baden that he must liquidate Blood declared. The chief motive behind Bergdoll's abandonment of his exile according to Blood, is the pinch condition of his finances. The funds he took with him on his flight were soon dissipated, the article said, and the government seized and retention of more than $570,000 worth of his property deprived him of an income of approximately $1000 a week. Becoming home, he was told, he could serve his sentence, receive back his property and live his life in peace. Behind the mission of Blood to Eberbach, the article says, are Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant of the American Legion, and Garland W. Powell, director of the legion's Americanism commission.

Introduced by Secretary Geo. PRINCIPLE VETS' AID Defy President Coolidge And Secretary Mellon With Vote 355 to 54 WASHINGTON, March 18. Defying President Coolidge and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, the house this afternoon passed the new soldiers' bonus bill and sent it along to the senate. Only 40 minutes was permitted for debate on the bill before the final vote was taken, but in that short time the measure was upheld by ex-service men in the house as the "best adjusted compensation legislation that has been presented to congress," and attacked by friends of the administration on the ground that "tax reduction was more important now than the bonus." Unlike the bonus bill veiled by President Harding in 1921, the new measure did not provide for extensive cash payments to the veterans, but made provision for the issuance of 20-year endowment paid-up insurance policies in lieu of cash. Veterans whose service would not net them more than $50 at the rate of $1 a day for domestic service and $1.25 a day for overseas service, will be the only ones who will receive cash under the bill as passed by the house. The insurance policies to be issued to the others will have an average value of $960 and they will be taken as collateral for loans two years after issuance. The estimated cost of the bill is a little over two billion dollars. The vote was 355 to 54, a twothirds majority being required to pass the bill under the suspension rule then in force.

He told the district attorney that two bullets had been located in his body with the use of an ammunition belt or passing thru Anahiem many years ago when it was the railway terminus, and driving from here to Laguna Beach by team.
