JA8EZ NELSON DIES
Associated Press Correspond
ent at Seattle Passes.
VICTIM OF ANAEMIA TAKEN
Former Orcgonian Telegraph Edi
tor, Well Known Throughout
Northwest. 5 4 Years Old When
Death Calls- I.ubors Wide.
SEATTLE, Oct. 9. Jabez B. JCclson.
correspondent of the Associated Press
at Seattle and widely known through
out the Pacific .Northwest, died here
late today, of anemia, aged 51 years.
Mr. Nelson was ordered to a hospital
October 2, suffering from anemia fol
lowing an attack of the grippe, and
three days later was reported consid
erably improved but liable to a slow
convalescence. On Monday, October 8,
his physician reported that ho failed
to respond to treatment and advised
transfusion of blood. Volunteers were
forthcoming immediately from his office
associates, and to supplement these the
Press Club, of which he was a former
president, the Mountaineers' Club, au
thorities of tho University of Wash
ington and the editors and staffs of
Seattle papers scoured the town.
Nelson was born in Detroit, Mich.,
in 1S63.
As Associated Tress correspondent at
Seattle, Mr. Nelson brought to his task
newspaper experience from New York
to the Coast, and an acquaintance with
sentiment and customs in all parts of
the Nation. He was one of a famous
group of Spanish-American war corre
spondents, and for a time during the
war was stationed in the West Indies.
Finally, in 1909, he was chosen to es
tablish an Associated Press bureau In
Seattle, and he continued as its chief
until his death.
No angle of the newspaper business
was unknown to him. He learned the
printer's trade in Port Huron. Mich.
Ho was a printer on The Oregonlan in
1884-88, was telegraph editor of the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer in 1888-89,
and rose to be managing editor from
1S89 to 189C. From this position he
entered tho service of the Associated
Press, In the New York oftice, to which
he was attached until 1900. From then
until 1908 he was night editor in the
Kansas City otlico of the Association,
returning to New York before coming
to Seattle.
Mr. Nelson was known to newspaper
men of many states for an amazing
fund of accurate knowledge of nearly
every aspect of life in his wide terri
tory. He enjoyed the confidence of
political leaders, and on one occasion
reported, exclusively night by night,
at a . state convention, the probable
procedure of the gathering for the en
suing days, without making a single
error. Few men in the convention or
In the state could have duplicated the
feat. ' The frozen roaches of the ulti
mate north were as real to him - as
Seattlo streets, and the explorers who
wandered about them were his inti
mates. Jabcz Nelson came to Oregon from
the Fast in the early 'SOs and with his

union card procured a position as hand
compositor in the old Orcgonian build
in;; on Front and Stark streets, and oc
casionally, when help was needed In
the editorial rooms, he volunteered his
services as a head writer. When The
Oregonlan removed -to its present loca
tion uptown Mr. Nelson became tele
graph editor when F. A. Carle, now
of Minneapolis, was managing editor.
On. May 1, 1888. Mr. Nelson resigned
from The Oregonlan and succeeded i'M
mond S. Meany as news editor of the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer andjiold tlipt
position until 1S96, at which time he
became connected with tho Associated
Press and had been with Hint great
news - gathering organization evor
since. .
He first worked in 180S during the
Spanish-American War. being in com
mand of one of the Associated
iTess dispatch boats under E. K. John
Hone, former managing editor of tho
Minneapolis Times and New York Com
mercial Advertiser. Mr. Nelson made a
record for himself In handling work
with tho Press from February to Au
gust, 1898, and was active in the serv
ice during the blockades of Havana
and Santiago and made several trips
to Porto Rico during that. time.
Following the war Mr. Nelson was
placed In charge of the Kansas City
office of the "AP," thence to New York
and finally returned to his "old love,"
the West, and located In Seattle again
In 1909 and had been head of the organ
ization there ever since.
Mr. Nelson never married. He was
devoted to his aged mother, who died
In this City last ycafat the age of 89.
for whose sake Mr. Nelson always con
sidered Portland his home. Mrs. Nel
son lived in her own home at 1515
Fast Yamhill street, and her son made
frequent trips here to visit her during
her declining years.
The only living relative of Mr. Nel
son here is a half-sister. Miss Marga
ret McAddam, who is now in Seattle
and was with Mr. Nelson when the end
came.
Said X. J. Levlnson, who knew Mr.
Kelson well:
"He was an encyclopedia of current
history. Not only did he remember the
news which passed through his hands
as news editor or Associated Press cor
respondent, but tho main occurrences of
the entire world. He had a most re
tentatlve memory, kept track of public
men and public measures, and knew
what every prominent man .in America
and Kurope . stood .for. He was uncom
monly industrious and loved the news
end of the Journalistic game. His one
diversion was botany. He -knew and
loved every wild flower In Oregon and
rould call it by its botanical name.
