LOCATE $4,000 IN
CASH, IS ALLEGED
TO BE NAVY FUND
by United Press Leased Wire

OGDEN, April ll.-ApproAi-
matcly $4,000 in currency was
found late yesterday in a safe de-
posit box in an Ogden bank which
federal officials opened, they an
nounced today.
The box is believed to have been
rented by Lieut.. Ervine r. Brown,
United States navy paymaster, now
held at Mare Island navy yard, Cali
fornia, charged with absconding
with 100000 of navy funds.
Keys which fitted the box were
found in Brown IS possession.
Bank records, however, showed the
box had been rented under the name
of Martin and bank officials failed
to identify photographs of Brown
as being pictures of the man who
rented the box.
The box was opened on search
warrant issued by the federal court
at Salt Lake.
The money secured yesterday
which is believed undoubtedly u
part of the missing funds, added to
$75,S00 return to the navy by Mrs
Brown in San Diego makes up near
ly 100000 of the missing money.

BOY SCOUTS WILL
HAVE l6O ACRE
CAMP BY RIVER
Plans Complete for Fine
Location on New
River

Plans for permanent camp
site to be used by Boy Scouts of
this city and probably of Cs.lexico
are progressing well, and arrange
ments have been practically com
pleted for choosing location on
New River about eight miles south
west of here.
At this place 100 acres of land
which was cut up by the river at
the time of its wild passage to the
Salton Sea, and which is now in
q state which makes it seem miles
from the nearest human habitation,
is available through the courtesy of
Ray Edgar and II. l.. Loud.
Recently a committee composed
of Frank Bowles, DIR. Norman T..
dupont, Harold l.. Kimball, w. l..
Garrett, d. l.. Zinn and John Stew
art Ross, all scoutmasters or mem
bers of scout committee, went over
its possibilities. In addition to the
river and the manner in which the
earth is cut IN there are sand dunes
and trees, which all help make the
site an ideal one.
Scoutmaster Dupont and Assistant
I Scoutmaster Vermillion plan to go
out Sunday and mark various loca-
tions. Contractor Collins has vo-
luntered to help the boys erect some
sort of mess hall, and plans will
be made for boundaries to be estab-
lished for locations of various troops
in addition to the main camp.
A double advantage connected
with this location is the fact that
the distance is such that it can
be hiked to by the lads, and it is
also reached by roads which ere in
condition, and will therefore be con
veniently situated for parents to
visit when their sons are having
week end outings.
Troop 7, with Scoutmastcr Bowles
has the first scheduled overnight
stay at the new site, which will
be on Friday night, April Is.
The county camping committee,
of which w. l.. Garrett is chair
man, has planned for two other
similar camps to accommodate other
sections of the county. Mr.. Garrett
is also in charge of arrangements
for the summer camp to be held in
the Laguna Mountains at the Young
Men $. Christian Association camp.
There will be two sessions of two
weeks each, it is expected, begin
ming June 16 and ending July IA.

that you would be interested in get
ting our opinion on the road via
Blythe to Los Angeles.
"If memory serves me correctly,
we drove from El Centre to Phoe-
nix in approximately II hours over
what was considered mighty good
road.
con our return trip via Wichen
burg. Plvthe and Mecca, it took up
about IL hours to reach Mecca and
the roads practically I'll the way
from Phoenix were very, bad to
say the least.
'The road from Mecca to Blythe
is one of the worst ! have ever seen.
"Thc Yuma road certainly has it
all over the Blythe road and we
surely show no hesitancy in recon-
mcnding this road to anyone who
) is contemplating a trip to Phoenix
by automobile.
"Thc next time | see you | will
be glad to give you the details of
our return trip. 1t is an easy mat
te~ to see just why you people in
Imperial Valley are 100 per cent
right in boosting the Yuma road. "
