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

On first Sight you would mistake
King for a foothill farmer. He looks
it and acts it, much to his credit. His
slouch hat, open shlrtfront.shortstem

places, his kindly, beaming counten

and respected all over the O. R. 4

"dressed up." 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.
Every summer he hopes to strike

Martin King sincerely hopes that he
does so. ,

At the county convention of the re

In speaking of the next presidential
candidate last evening to the East

belief that unless Taft Is nominated on
the first or second ballot, that the

DRY LAND IS NOT DESERT.
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.
