Cel., June 0 tU.R) Four Sacramento Boy Scouts, missing for more than 20 hours on a life-raft ride down the American river, were found safe today six miles south of here. They were discovered by a search posse led by Placer county Sheriff E. J. Kenlson, who said the boys had abandoned their raft and were walking along the j river. They had traveled about 25 I miles from Weimar, Cel., where : they took to the river yesterday, Kenlson said. The youths, all members of ' Sacramento explorer Scout Troop 2024. were David Som mers, 17, Clarence D. Gallagher, I Jr., Walter Lester Cox Jr., and William Rlter Jr.. ID. of Tort-1 land, Ore., a house guest of Gallagher. all hands agreed. The question was: How much of the area could be reclaimed for agricul ture without disturbing the geese and the ducks? Sportsmen Agree Well, 8,000 aores Just north of Crump lake can be reclaimed, and the sportsmen agreed it would not hinder, but might even help the lush nesting areas to the north just before you get to Hart lake. The land board members Gov, Douglas McKay, Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry, and State Treasurer Walter J. Pear sonwent Into the area Wednes day with a caravan of sportsmen and of ranchers who farm nearby areas and who are interested in what will happen to their water rights if the proposed reclama tion project comes off. X. T. Pierce, clerk of the land board, explained that the dike, which would drain the 8,000 acres for which a lease already is eontemplated, would extend from the north shore of Crump lake in southeasterly direction for some elfiht miles, acutally, the straight-line distance of the dike would be about 2V miles, but it would be built roughly in the form of a crescent, which would make the greater length necessary. Would Plant Grain The man who has the lease under consideration would plant grain for the first three or four years probably oats or barley then convert the entire 8,000 acres to meadow. Grass in the valley grows prollfically, hay crops are phenomenal. The drat years or me grain crops are what caused consternation and misgivings among sportsmen and some farmers, at the start. They said the steady wind that whips through the valley, would lift the crop right oft the ground and take a lot of valuable top soil along with it. That' what some ranchers said. Sportsmen feared the ducks and geese oblivious to the fact they might be trespassing on some man's crop would get Into the grain fields, and devour so much of the crop that the operators would seek state permission to destroy the birds. But the men Interested in the development of the 8,000 acres said they were convinced the crop would not blow away. They pointed to the fact that frost settles in the area involved and that means dead air. No wind. Where the winds blow, the frost doesn't linger. They also felt that damage to grain would be minimum, until grass could be planted in the area, then there'd be no worrk as fal se the birds were concerned. No Bad Effect After a visit to the scent, where the men left their cars and footed It over rocks in rattlesnake hillsides, sportsmen and farmers agreed that the 8,000 acres probably would be reclaimed without bad effect for anybody. And why the reclama tion? Well, the money from the state's share of the crops one fourth of the net will go into the state school fund.

SEI YOUR ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR of the valley already In meadow, and It would be the aim eventu ally to put cattle on the 8,000 acres of planned meadow. No, the 8.000 acres is okay. That's ironed out. But the land board, or some of the men tn it. feel that more acres eould be reclaimed, particularly the area of the Petrie swamp. Sportsmen objected to that on the field trip Wednesday. They feared any such development might persuade the birds to go elsewhere for their nesting. Men who argued for further reclama tion in the area, said the birds could go across the narrows and nest on the other side. Men who argued against further raelama tlon said you might have a hard time convincing the birds they should move to the other side. They've been nesting their since before the white men first saw the area. And some sportsmen said they didn't think the water fowl would consider it in order to give up their squatter's rights, or nesting rights. All Arguments Heard At any rate, the land board members heard the arguments on all sides, but made no decision on the spot. Gov, McKay left soon after the field trip for Klamath Falls, where he flew to San Francisco for a meeting of the intergovernmental relations committee. Newbry and Pearson, and Slate Budget Director Harry Dorms n who went along with them, returned to the capital at Salem. Board members indicated they would probably hold s joint meeting with sportsmen In Salem some time soon for a further threshing out of the problem Then later they would meet themselves to mke the finsl decisions concerning any devel opments of the ares.
