ADAMS AVENUE A Ptctureraue Firnni L. rtM n n ' x. : N. Knglncrr. :. A picturesque character Is Martin King, one of the pioneer locomotive engineers of the Mountain division of the O. R. & N. at La Grande, nays the Pendleton East Oregonlan In a char acter sketch of one of La Grande's O. It. & N. engineers. King Is not only a philosopher, engineer, good Judge of human nature and an alt round good fellow of the old school, but he Ib an enthusiastic miner and prospector and has driven location stakes all over the mountain region of Idaho. In summer King mines and proa- i""" " cvnirmi taano, navlng some excellent claims in ' the vicinity of Thunder mountain and others at Sol dler, in which he Is deeply Interested and which he will tell you about on the slightest provocation. . In winter he returns to his engine and works for a "grub stake" for the next summer, enlivening the engl. neerr "dog hpuse" with thrilling stories of his summer's experiences and in exploiting the glories and rich. ea oi me uem state, of which he Is an ardent lover. on first sight you would mistake .ing ror a foothill farmer. He looks It and acta It,. much to his credit His '"""'l mn shirt front short- stemmed cob pipe, ' corduroy pants, showing contact with the oil In many places, his kindly, beaming counte nance and contagious laugh are known and respected all over the O. R. 4 N. system. . ' ' Nobody ever aaw Martin King "dressed up." He la no "easy mark" for the La Grande clothing stores, but he la a mighty good fellow and expert with an engine and very, very few discredit marks are set down against him on the company's records, so if he has on a dirty shirt pr a greasy cap nobody notices It for It la Martin King, and he Is all right, reffardleaa of elbthes. . It is not known whether he can dance or not His social Instincts have neyer been sounded deep enough In La Grande to determine Jhls rfact ' But he can make time on the road and is a good fellow to get along with and so "society" does not worry him. The boys all like to fire for King. He Is an "easy man" on an engine, that Is, he can do more with less wor ry than most men and gets along all right with his fireman. When King lights his pipe and gets his slouch hat adjusted and his legs crossed and begins to talk about his Idaho mines, everybody In hearing stops and sits down there for the Is promise of a mighty good story, iou lorgei an about the long night runs over the mountain division, the thrilling runaways, the hair-breadth escapes from death on the rail and hear only his exhlllratlng tales of the mines, of the yellow streaks In his ledges, of the nuggets hidden away In the bottom of this prospector's magic sack 'at home, of his hopes of finding a fortune next year, and of the mother (ode Just a few feet ahead In the hill side. Along toward spring railroading be. comes Irksome. The throttle Is post tively disgusting to him and he longs for his frying pan and. flapjacks and tne snaaow of his towering Idaho mountains. Every summer he hopes to strike It rich and everybody who knows Martin King sincerely hopes that he does so. NOTICE FOR PCBUCATIOX. Isolated Tract Public Land Sale.
