A picturesque character is Martin
King, one of the pioneer locomotive
engineers 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
poets in central Idaho, having some
excellent claims in the vicinity Of
Thunder mountain and others at Sol
der. 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 summers experiences
and in exploiting the glories and rich
es Of the Gem state Of which he is
an ardent lover,
On first sight you would mistake
King for a foothill farmer. He looks
II and acts 1t, much to his credit His
slouch hat, open shirtfront, ,shortstem-
med cob pipe, curduroy pants, show
ing contact with the oil in many
places, his kindly. beaming counten-
ance and contagious laugh are known
and respected all over the o. r. &
n. system.
Nobody ever saw Martin King

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 dlscredit marks are set down
against him on the company's rec
ords, so If he has on a dirty shirt or
greasy cap nobody notices 1t, for 1t
Is Martin King and he is all right re-
gardless OF clothes.
1t 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 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 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
Lodges of the nuggets hidden away in
the bottom of his prospector's magic
sack at home. of his hopes of finding
a fortune next year and Of the mother
lode just few feet ahead in the hill
side.
Along toward spring railroading be-
comes irksome. The throttle is posi-.
lively disgusting to him and he longs
for his frying pan and flap jacks and
the shadow Of his towering Idaho
mountains.
Every summer he hopes to strike
1t rich and everybody who knows
Martin King sincerely hopes that he
does so.

DRY LAND is NOT DESERT.
Ruling of BlachfOOt 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
Nelson 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 Sc
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 fairly
good crop.
Nelson 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,
II. 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, II 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 bill
was designed.

B. E. KENNEDY FOR DELEGATE
Baker City Editor Would Represent
Eastern Oregon at Republican Ma
tional Convention.


At the county convention Of the re-
publicans of Baker county held Sat-
-urday for the purpose Of electing
delegates to the Oregon state con-
vention. all of the delegates were in
structed for B. E. Kennedy, editor OF
the Baker City Herald, as delegate
from eastern Oregon to the national
republican convention which meets in
Chicago next month.
AS eastern Oregon will be entitled
to but one delegate there will be a
hot contest for the honor and Baker
is first in the field. Mr.. Kennedy
would prefer to go uninstructed to the
national convention in hopes that
President Roosevelt may be nomi-
mated.
In speaking of the next presidential
candidate last evening to the East
oregonian Mr.. Kennedy expressed the
belief that unless Taft Is nominated on
the first or second ballot, that the
convention will stampede to Roose-
welt.
