After giving a detailed state

More Ranges Needed.

The protection Of the watersheds
and streams supplying irrigation res
eryoils depends primarily upon the
possibility of giving full protection TO
ali areas where grazing is allowed. The
fewer forest officers there are to at
tend TO the grazing business on the
national forests the more land VIII
have to be closed to grazing. 1t must
be remembered. tnelefore. that any re-
duction in the force Of the forest ser
vice would necessarily be an attack on
tne entire grazing industry of the
west. Past experience has proven that
stock can be allowed to Craze, under
proper regulation. on areas from which
il would be necessary to exclude it if
the range could not be properly pa
trOled. The same situation is true re-
garding the permanent improvements.
The more water that is developed, the
more division fences that are cOnstruc-
ted. the more roads. trails and bridges
that are built, the more permanent
the range will be and the more stock it
will carry

NURSES CLASH
WITH SUP. YOUNG
MANAGER OF WALLA WALLA
HOSPITAL WILL GIVE WAY TO
NEW HEAD.

Owing to friction between the young
women nurses in the Walla Walla
tendent H. w. Young, it was officially
announced by member of the board
of trustees of the hospital this after
noon that Mr. Young will relinquish
the management of the hospital and
that the reorganization of the training
school and management will be imme-
diately made.
Details of the reorganization had not
been fully decided upon this after
noon and probably will not be until
Monday when Mr.. Young gives up the
management of the hospital Friction
between the young women nurses and
superintendent Young, it is said. de-
veloped shortly after Mr. Young be-
came the active head of the institu-
ton. Ii is said that Mr. Young had
no previous experience in hospital
work before coming to Walla Walla
from ColfaX. a few months ago and
that in consequence, matters became
somewhat complicated between the
management and the young nurses. A
climax was reached, it is said. when
M. Young installed cook at the hos
pital Who did not come up to the re-
quiremcnts of what the nurses be-
lieVed, culinary artist should. Other
matters arose that widened the breach
between the nurses and the manager,
which eventually reached a point of al
most open revolt and when the trus-
tees felt that interference was neces-
sary
The Walla Walla hospital training
school is one of the foremost institu-
tions Of the kind in the west and has
graduated a large number of nurses the
past fen years. The training at the
school is said to be superior to that
given at any of the schools in the
larger cities and as a result there has
been keen demand for nurses graduated
from the Walla Walla school.
Mr.. Young this afternoon declined to
make any statement regarding his re-
ported retirement.
