the Yakima Indian reservation, with
headquarters at Fort Simcoe. has
been offered and has accepted the po-
sition of superintendent OF the Car
son school, Nevada. No word has
been received, so far as Is known, re-
.garding the approval of the accept
ance, but may be expected daily with
word covern gthe transfer of Mr..
Young to his new position. The post
he has accepted carries for Mr.
Young a larger opportunity and an
increase in salary and his friends,
while regretting to lose him, will be
pleased at his advance.
Has Well Met His Duties
Mr.. Young has been superintendent
of the Yakima reservation for sew
eral years, following Major Jay
Lynch in that position, and he has
been very busy man since he took
hold. The increase in population In
this country has enlarged the respon-
sibiities of the agency and called for
much new work, all of which has
been carefully attended to. There
has been a new allotment of lands,
much road building and other con-
struction. many adjustments and new
phases of development to be met, par
ticularly as two large towns have
grown on the reservation and another
railway or two have been added there.
Mr.. Young has met the responsible
ties placed upon him in careful
manner and has enjoyed the conf
dence both of Indians andwhites
while administering a trying office.
No word has reached here. so far
as is known. as to who the new Of
fetal will be, but an announcement Is
expected in q day or two.

Bishop O'Dea Tells Young People
of St. Joscph's to Cultivate
Taste for Literature
CONFIRMS CLASSES HERE
AND ON RESERVATION
And Leaves Yakima for Seattle
Deeply Impressed With This
Town and Valley and the Pros
poets for Future

Reading of good sound literature
was encouraged and total avoidance
of cheap. trashy reading matter was
advocated by Bishop O'Dea of the
Catholic church speaking Thursday
to class of 144 young people whom
he had confirmed. He dwelt partic-
ulary on the good associations of
proper literature and the evil mental
influences resulting from time spent
on worthless and sometimes vicious
publications. He urged that a love
for good writings. prose and poetry,
be cultivated. To the young people
in particular and to the general con-
2regation Bishop O'Dea spoke of the
dangers of the time to the young and
dwelt especially upon the subject of
indifference to religion and too free
association with n-believers and
scoffers at religion.
On Modern Pleasures
Pleasures sought after by the young
people of the day he said, are too of
ten pernicious in their influence and
liable to lead to dangerous sin. 1t
was possible, he said, for any healthy
and intelligent young person to find
other pleasures to replace those which
are to be avoided and 1t was in this
connection that he made his reference
to good literature and the idea of
to occupy pleasurably and profitably
such leisure time as one has. on
the one hand. he said, was lack of
proper development. and possible
danger. On the other growth and
development and growing pleasure
as the intellect expands.
Visit to White Swan

to White Swan where he confirmed
2S Indians to whom he also spoke,
his remarks being interpreted by
Charles Olney. He encouraged the
indians to keep up good heart, to re-
spect the faith and to hold fast to
that which Is good. Much he said,
had come to them in their lives which
was .discouraging. but they were not
to give way to dispair, but to main
tain an earnest demeanor and en-
deavor from their religion to get that
peace of mind which was their right.
Likes the Reservation
Following the confirmation at
White swan the bishop and the ladies'
and gentlemen who had accompanied
had a. picnic dinner at the church
grounds there, after which they went
to the Fort where Major Young
showed them about and did the hon.
ors. the return to this city being at
s o'clock at night. On the trip to
the reservation were several auto
mobiles, among those in the party
being Mr.. and Mrs. II. ]. Schott Mr.
and Mrs. p. Eschbach. Mr.. and Mrs
John iDtter, Messrs Schwaegler,
Jack Callahan, Mailloux, C. L. Twohy
Regimbault and several young ladies
from the congregation of st. Joseph
who had gone out to sing to the In
dams.
Bishop O'Dea. who left the city yes
terday morning to return to Seattle,
expressed himself as delighted and
surprised with the growth and evil
dent prosperity of North Yakima and
said that the reservation was a reve-
lation to him. What he had seen OF
this town and valley, he said, had
deeply impressed him.

ALEX MILLER
GIVES VIEWS
Tells His Impressions Of q Recent
Visit to the Columbia River .
Valley
LAND, WATER AND POWER
MOST PLENTIFUL THERE
But Prices, as in Many Other Sec
tons of This State, Should Be
Such as to Give the First Set
tier an Opportunity

"There is plenty of water, plenty of
land and plenty Of power in that
Columbia river country" said Alex.
Miller, who has just returned from his
first visit to the White Bluffs and Han
ford section, which he made in COM
pany with II. b. Scudder and George
Arrowsmith. "The Pacific Power e.
Light company has expended hundreds
of thousands of dollars in carrying
power development all through that
splendid acreage, and the Milwaukee
railroad is grading along the river,
making accessible by rail country
previously difficult-of approach. These
things of themselves. however, are not
81 1cient to bring about q rapid de-
velopment of the country. I might
add to them that the ranchers who
have settled on those lands have
brought their farms, considering the
brief time since they located, to a
high state of perfection, and there are
some very nice looking orchards also.
Land Values Too High
Raw sagebrush land, with a good
water right, Leeds to be sufficiently
cheap to enable the first owner, the
settler, to get through with some de-
gree of success. Our lands. both along
the Columbia river and elsewhere in
the state, are held too high. l mean
the raw sagebrush. Good farming
land, which sells at 500 to $125 an
means $50 to $175 when cleared,
leveled. ditched and planted to farm
crops, is expensive enough and will
settle rapidly in competition with the
lands of Oregon and Idaho, but land
at $500 per acre is no inducement to
the newcomer. He prefers, If he has
the money, to pay more and get a
producing acreage.
i. Settlement Is One Half
"As | see it, the Klickitat project,
the kittitas project, the Quincy project
and all those large acreage undertake
ings are doomed to fail SO far as. the
first set of people interested is con-
cerned, because after the actual. con-
struction work has been done half the
work remains. That half is the set
Element and under the existing price
conditions that settlement will be slow
and will cover term of many years
In the meantime the project is crushed
to the wall.
Give Pioneer Chance 4.
s, There isNa splendid country afbng
the Columbia river and just as good
farm land as is to be found anywhere,
but it has merely a farm value. Land
near this city has a value because of
its suburban location. Near a smaller
town it has a suburban value esti-
mated on a narrower basis, but along
the Columbia its value is its produc-
ing value and the first settler there
cannot take hold of lands priced too
high and win through without too
great an experience at pioneering.
