A picturesque character Is Martin King, one of the pioneer locomotive engineer! of the Mountain division of the O. R. & N. at La Grande. King Is not only a philosopher, engineer, good Judge of human nature and an all round good fellow of the old school, but he Is an enthusiastic mi ner and prospector and has driven location stakes all over the mountain region of Idaho. In summer King mines and pros pects In central Idaho, having some excellent claims In the vicinity of Thunder mountain and others at Sol dier, 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 engi neer's "dog house" with thrilling stories of his summer's experience and in exploiting the glories and rich es of (he Gem state of which he it art ardent 0M, " On first Sight you would mistake King for a foothill farmer.

He Is no "easy mark" for the La Grande clothing stores, but he is a mighty good fellow and an ex pert with an engine and very, very few discredit marks are set down against him on the company's rec ords, so if he has on a dirty shirt or a greasy cap nobody notices It, for It Is Martin King and he Is all right re gardless of clothes. It Is not known whether he can dance or not. His social instincts have never been sounded deep enough in La Grande to determine this fact But he can make time on the road and is a good fellow to get along with and so "society" does not wor ry 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 ana gets along an 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 there is promise of a mighty good . story. You forget al labout the long night runs over the mountain division, the thrilling runaways, the hair-breadth escapes fom death on the rail and hear only his exhilerating tales of the mines, of the yellow streaks in his ledges of the nuggets hidden away in the bottom of his prospector's magic sack at home, of his hopes ct finding a fortune next year and of the mother lode Just a few feet ahead In the hill side. Along toward spring railroading be comes irksome. The throttle Is posi tively disgusting to him and he long! for his frying pan and flap Jacks and the shadow of his towering Idaho mountains.

Rutins; -of Blackfoot Land Office Changes Conditions, A large number of entrymen on lands In Oneida county are much Interested In the ruling of the register and receiver of the Blackfoot land office In the case of Kellson vs. Jorgensen, holding that lands where a crop of grain can be grown by dry farming are not desert lands, says the Boise Statesman. Jorgensen, after taking his land, before obtaining water by means of the completion of a canal system se cured seed wheat especially adaptable to dry farm lands, the same variety of grain that has been extensively ex perimented with at the agricultural college at Salt Lake, and .planting a number of acres, reaped a fairly good crop. Nellsou thereupon started a con test upon the ground that the land was not desert land In that his crop had been grown, and the local officers sustained his contention. Attorney J. H. Peterson of Boise represented the contestee and Attorney John Jones of Blackfoot the contestant. A case Involving identically the same question, as to the character of these lands, was recently decided by the register and receiver of the Boise land office, who held adversely to the decision in this case. There is a vast acreage of such land In Oneida county, where desert entries have been made, which, If this connection Is sustained, on appeal, will be liable to cancellation. These lands are of the character for the en try of which the Smoot dry farm hill was designed.
