Oregon Was One of the Most Prominent Figures in Early History ot Oregon. A message was received from Salem late yesterday afternoon announcing the death of Hon. Benjamin F. Hay den, which occurred at his home in that city at 8 o'clock yesterday morn ing. Mr. Hayden was 86 years of age and had been a resident of this state since 1852. Actively engaged in the politics of the state during the greater portion ot his long life here, he was one of the most forceful and interesting charac ters in the history of Oregon. In 1855, shortly after his coming to Oregon, he enlisted with the Oregon regiment of volunteers for service in the Yakima War, and during the time of his connection with the army, was elevated to the position of captain. After the close of the war, he returned to Polk county and settled on his claim near Eola. In 1860, be was elected County Judge of Polk couuty, being the first man to occupy that position after the admis sion of Oregon to statehood. Later he was elected to the legislature and during his term in that office, served as speaker of the House of Repre sentatives. In the legal profession he was known throughout Oregon as ore of the strongest men of his time, and when he was at his best, it became almost a proverb In the courts In which he practised that for a maij to employ Ben Hayden on his case made victory a, forgone conclusion. THE TALE OF THE STRAW VOTE. BV DEAN COLLINS. It happened before the election. 'Twas down at Bird Center you know ; me day mat we an took a straw vote, To see how the 'lection would go. Though most of us hailed from the soutniand, We laid all our prejudice by And solemnly fixed up our ballots The way that seemed right, in our eye. And when all the ballots wore counted We ran to the druar store a-crvin' "Hey fellows, we've just took a straw vote And its undivided for Bryan 1" Well, eight or ten fellows around there J ust looked at us fellows an laucrned And answered, "We've just took a vote 100 The country stands solid for Taftl" Well, one word led on to another 'Til we was most ilghtin' mad, then Bill Smith said (he's quiet and peace ful) "Say, why not lot's vote It again?" That calmed us ; we all put our coats on, An gatherin' round in the store, We put all our prejudice under And voted it over once more And say, well you may not believe it, But we counted the votes before leavio', To see how the parties were standin' And darned If they didn't break even.

S, LOUGHARYS' OFFICE BOY ) that II be heard any one say 1 was a good-hearted boy I might go home and stay there. "When they can't say anything good about you," be went on to explain, "they'll say you are a good-hearted fellow, which is just about the same as saying you are no account." I spunked up a bit and said, "What am I to be when I'm not good-hearted?" He came right back at me and says: "I want you to be known as a hustler, and when they see you wheel up in front .of their place I want them to know that their order has arrived right on time, and that it will open up just as they expected It would when they bought it) without any omissions or com missions; well, sir, there are certainly no commissions or tips of any kind on this job, and not much chance for any omissions for tbe reason that the old man watches us too closely. - He is good natured, all right, if every thing goes right, but if anything goes wrong, he makes it right and that's no fairy tale.
