Charles B. Osborne, another old
Nevada pioneer, passed away at his
home in the upper end of Mason Val
ley last Sunday from a stroke of
apoplexy. Mr.. Osborne had previous
ly suffered from two strokes of apo
plexy and the third resulted fatally.
Mr.. Osborne was native of Calhoun
county, Michigan, where he was born
January l, l847, in the town of Tekon-
sha. When lad he moved with his
parents to Illinois and resided in that
State for couple of years. In 1860
Charles and his father and brother,

He also leaves a brother, n. d. Os-
borne, residing at Battle Creek, Mich,

Osborne was a character in his way.
He was man of strong likes and dis
likes. was made OF the stuff to meet
reverses and make the best of them
a man of honor and integrity as we
found him, who paid his obligations
without grudge and fought the bat

WIN. WooDBUN,
NEVADA PIONEE..,
CROSSES DIVIDE

VIM. Woodburn, the oldest attor-
ney-at-law in the State, passed away
at his home in Carson City on Tues
day of this week He had only been
i'll for q few days before being sum-
moned to appear before the highest
tribunal, but was along in years and
had lost his recuperative powers.
There were few men in the State better
known than General" Woodburn.
Three times he served Nevada as
representative in Congress and he was
one of the most able criminal lawyers
on the Pacific Coast,
Mr.. Woodburn was native of Ire
land, and was close to II years OF
age. He came to the United States
when ten years of age and for time
attended the public schools and ST.
Charles College IN Marylind. When
II years of age he came to California
via the Isthmus of Panama and en-
gagged in mining He took up the
study of law in California, later moved
to Virginia City and was admitted
to the bar in 1866 He was a staunch
Republican and took an active part
in early day politics in Nevada. He
made one of the best representatives
in Congress that the State ever had
and was a man respected by all who
knew him.
In 1877 he married Miss Mary
Duffy, of Carson City, and two chill
dren were the fruit of this union,
VIM Woodburn, Jr., now U. 5. At
torney- General for Nevada, and Mrs.
Grace B. Barnes, of New Orleans.
His wife died many years ago. The
funeral of deceased took place Thurs
day from the Catholic Church in Car
son and was largely attended by
friends from all parts of the State.
1t seems that nearly every week for
some time past we have had to chron-
icle the death of some Nevada pio-
neer; some one who was interested
in the first building of the State. There
are few OF these old time builders
left and it is sad to think of them
passing If the generations that fol-
lowed had done as we'll as their fore
fathers Nevada would have been
much better State today.

BIG PRICES FOR ALFALFA

We have been told quite frequently
that dairy owners cannot afford to feed
alfalfa hay when it reaches beyond
the price of 81 per ton. That is, that
milch cows will not prove profitable
on 81 hay. There must be some mis-
take about this, for hay valued as
high as Sl2 and $l4 per ton is being
fed 10 profit by California dairymen.
II the man who is milking for a cream
cry cannot afford to feed 81 hay you
may rest assured that there is some
thing wrong with his herd; it is not
up to standard, nor anywhere near it.
ApropoS of the above the result OF
some tests recently made by T. +.
Mobley, of Fallon, are given. l.. l..
Cline, agriculturalist of the Truckee
Carson project, has been making the
test. and the price paid for hay was
$3.50 per ton. Four cows were in
cluded in the test Two cows were
fed straight hay and the other two
were given, in addition to the hay,
four pounds of barley per day. The
cows given hay only returned to the
owner $500 per ton for the hay and
those fed with the grain added to the
ration returned $4lo0 for the hay.
These are big figures and some of our
readers will probably doubt them.
However, the test is of record and the
figures can be verified by writing to
Mr.. Cline, +. L. Mobley or c. +.
Hancock, of Fallon.
