Obadiah Osborn Is Fatally
Stricken With Paralysis.
CAME TO WALLA WALLA IN EARLY DAYS
Took a Prominent Part in Religious
and Political Affairs for Many
Years.

Death has claimed another Walla
Walla pioneer, this time it being
Obadia Osborn, the we'll known farm
er and preacher. His death occurred
this morning at the Dry creek farm of
the deceased, and was the result of
paralysis.
Mr. Osborn was stricken about
o'clock this morning and died before
medical aid could reach him.
He was born in Essex county, I'LL
nois, in 1885. He acquired his early
education in the public schools of his
native town, where he spent the first
II years of his life In 1852 he crossed
the plans with ox-teams to the William
elite valley, where the next IS years
of his life were passed. He attended
the Willamette university for two
years as a student and then entered
the ministry of the United Brethren
church.
During the year 1865 Mr.. Osborn
came to the Walla Walla valley, having
been assigned to the Walla Walla cir
cult of that church. Since that time
he has continued to preach and engage
extensively in farming and horse rails
ing.
In 1869 he purchased 400 acres of
land between Mill and Russell creeks
and added 12O acres to a tract of land
in Umatilla county southeast of Walla
WaIla. In 1875 he sold those lands and
purchased $40 acres on Dry creek
where he has since resided.
Few men in Walla Walla county
have manifested their interest in pub
lie affairs as did Mr. Osborn He was

a prominent politician. first being at
filiated with the republican party and
then became identified with the popu-
lists. In 1896 he was d candidate for
the legislature on that ticket
Mr.. Osborn was twice married. In
1857 he welded in the state of Oregon
Miss Sarah Ann Mccain, who died in
1859. In 1864 he again married, his
wife being Miss Mary c. Mayfield, a
native of Tennessee. who crossed the
plains in 1852 The widow and one
daughter survive him.

Morrow Has His Say.

J. w. Morrow made carefully pre-
pared and exhaustive argument. He
said that the taxes We're unjust and
out of all proportion. They had no
objection to the assessor personally but
they did object to his method Of as
sessing railroad property. The rail-
road company did not object to paying
a fair tax as they recognized the nee

ject to paying more than their share.
They were at the front Of every scheme
for the development of the country
such as irrigation. etc. He squarely
met the charge that the railroads were
not paying their share Of the taxes, by
comparing them with many other kinds
of property, taking mis- figures from the
assessment rolls. He showed that
money in banks was only assessed al
$11,5OO this year while there was near
ly 100000 on deposit in the two ma
tional banks of Walla Walla.
The assessment rolls showed tina:
there was only about $500, 1000 in credits
in the county while there were mortg
ages aggregating 100000 on record
in the auditors office. He also cited
a case of some land assessed at $40
per acre worth from 5000 to $500. He
reiterated the argument of Mr.. Sedg-
cent as they could cover up nothing
and had no desire or wish to cover up
in this county where there was no rail-
paid towards schools he quoted sta
tistics obtained from Superintendent
in this county wheer there was no rail-
road line the average term of school

districts in the county.
Mr.. Morrow said that the O. r. & N.

as they provide for the payment of
an undue burden should be placed upon
their property as compared with other

paying the taxes he said and dramat-
ically asked where was this opposi-
much about. He could not find it.
Perhaps there were Il few politicians
and disgruntled fellows who never paid
any taxes in their lives but who made
more noise than all the rest of the
community put togther He cited two
instances of farmers he had talked to
within a short time, showing that they
were friendly to the railroad COM
panies. He closed by ridiculing the
method of assessing railroads on mar
ket price of stock and bond issues and
quoted from the Interstate Commerce
commission to support his contention.
Basing the value on net earnings ne
claimed it would bring less revenue to
the county than now as they could
only collect on the business originating
in the county.

near Wallua was higher than his COM
pany was assessed on any main track
by any county in the state. except
Yakima and Lincoln. He said that
they could claim that the W. & c. X.
branch of their road was in truth only
a third or fourth class road, but tech
nically it was second class, and they
were willing to pay on it at that basis,
but they did not want to pay greater
amount than $5S0S per mile, which
was agreed upon at the last session of
the assessors convention. He also
spoke of sidetracks which he thought
were assessed out of all reason. They
were made Of old rails, discarded from
main line and were worth only about
$1,000 a mile and there was not anOth-
er county in the state that had as
sessed them at $4,000 even on the main
line. He did not think it fair that the
cost of preparing the road bed should
be considered.
MeCabe's Protest.
Mr.. McCabe thought that there was
no excuse for raising the assessment
on railroads. that no other property
had been raised as class and they
were worth no more than last year.
The assessment of $4,000 a mile was
Sc per cent of the actual value of the
road and ne defied any one to find any
other property which paid on such an
assessment. His road was assessed at
a quarter of a million dollars ana paid
500. 900 tax or 40 per cent of the taxes
paid by all property. He said they
were willing to pay the $3.50 a mile
and asked that the board so fix it. He
quoted at length from the assessment
rolls to show that money in bank,
stocks, land and other properties were
all being assessed at less than 80 per
cent of the real value. He dwelt at
length on the fact that railroad prop
erty could not be covered up and that
they paid on every dollar they owned
and asked that the railroads be as
sessed on the same basis that the other
commercial interests of the county

Important strategic point, but up to
the point Of sending the last dispatch
the Japanese were still in possession
OF the pass. In order that this col.

bridges over the Hun river and the
position he now occupies on the
Shakhe river. There is no indication
that the end of the great battle is at
hand. Estimates of the losses show a
wide divergence, but are as a rule

Neutral Powers Likely to Move In an

tration, and 1t is felt that the time is
approaching when it will be in order
for the great neutral powers to move
toward the restoration of peace. Presi.
dent Roosevelt has from the first stood
ready to use his good Offices to stop
hostilities on a basis honorable to
both belligerents, but he is estopped
from moving by the fact that it has
been the unbroken rule of our govern
ment to wait until it is assured that
both sides to a controversy of this
kind are willing that we should act.
There has so far been no open propo-
sition, nor can it be truthfully stated
that even an indirect overture has
come to Washington from st. Peters
burg or Toxic, but 1t is believed signs
point to an early move in that direc.
ton.
