Promoter of International Iitunber &

tics; Ho Tarnish on Kama.
John R. Markley, whose name came
to the surface yesterday as one of Jthe
promoters of the International Lum
ber & Development company, was
formerly a political figure In Oregon.
His time upon the stage in thi3
state was brief but pyrotechnic. He
is a man of delightful personality and
soon after his arrival from Iowa, soon
made many friends. In the election of
1892, he took a prominent part in the
campaign. Cleveland was elected, and
Mr. Markley, along with the late Dan
R. Murphy, who was Democratic
state chairman, became prominent in
the distribution of federal patronage.
There was then no charge of taint
against Mr. Markley and he had the
confidence of a wide circle of friends.
He and Chairman Murphy went to
Washington after the election, where
they remained for several weeks in
what was supposed to be labor with
the administration in dispensing the
offices, for which the two were given
wide publicity at the time. In a
business way, Markley was never ac
cused of irregularities in Oregon. He
lived for several years at Corvallis,
where he prepared a system of ab
stracts and opened the first abstract
office in Benton county. -
While there he became one of a
dozen men who organized and con
ducted the Benton County Prune com
pany. They purchased 155 acres of
land between Corvallis and - Albany
and set It to trees, making it the
largest prune orchard at that time In
the world. It was- a perfectly legiti
mate enterprise, and is still in suc
cessful operation. In the beginning.
It was not. on account of the low price
of prunes, a money making venture,
and Markley got little or no- profit out
of jt.

FALL OF MINER IS FATAL
Falling down stairs In the Lumber
Exchange building at Second and
Stark streets yesterday morning, Ieorge
Bartley, an Alaska miner, aged 60,
sustained a fracture of the skull and
was instantly killed. Bartley was In
the city disposing of some of his min
ing properties, and but little Is known
of him. He had been peeling an apple
as he descended the stairs, but friends
say he was subject to epilepsy, and the
misstep, say attaches of the coroner's
office, may have resulted from either
cause. Previous to his Tall, he had
been in the office of C. L. Becker, a
real estate man. The body vrae taken
to the public morgue, .Funeral ar

ONE ENTIRE DAY TO
BE DEVOTED TO THE
OF HAWAII
After "Doing" Honolulu Pas-j
sengers on breat Northern
Will Be Taken to Hilo.
GREATEST OF VOLCANOES
One of Big- Events W1U Be Tiw of
Crater Which Berrars All
pescriptlok, v
One full day of the steamer Great
Northern's Itinerary for her special
excursion to the Hawaiian islands is
given to tha Island of Hawaii, oa
which is .located the famous volcany
of Kllauea. j
Leaving the .beautiful city of Hon
olulu and the Mid-Paclfio carnival the
great liner will steam to the city of
Hilo, the second seaport of the archi
pelago. Here as many of th passen
gers as may feel disposed to see the
great crater will disembark and go
by rail and motor-stage or by auto
to the sulphurous brim. Good hotels
perched on the very edge will minis
ter to their wants. j
Kllauea is the largest living vol
cano in the world, although it has not
been violently active for more than
100 years. It differs from tha con
ventional volcano because It is not at
the top of a mountain and inasmuch
as its crater does not resemble an
Inverted cone. . -
Instead, as one writer says, "It is a
vast pot." Its walls are perpendicu
lar from 100 to 700 feet high and in
circumference the rim of th pot it
measures eight miles. The bottom Is
a floor of cracked lava that covers
2650 acres. It is a burning lake and
In these fissures visitors from all over
the world hold postal cards on forked
sticks and scorch them in the living
fire. - ij-
In daytime Kllauea with its black
lava fumes resembles a gigantic caul
dron; at night it is an immense grid
iron of fiery streaks. i
One traveler is, said to have writ
ten of Kilauea. "Kllauea, what do I
think of it? What do I think, jof
eternity? Of the 'unspeakable and
supreme which spell tha formation I of
'all that is? Is there an alphabet jof
the universe? From what source shall
I draw language to describe the unde-
i scribable? Is it not enough simply
and humbly to Inscribe that fact that
I, like thousands before ma, have stood
tacle?"
The Great Northern Is -now speeding
up the coast toward San Diego after
passing through the canal last week.
She will sail for the islands on her
two week special excursion next week,
leaving the Golden Gate February! H
and Los Angeles (San Pedro) Febru
ary 17. The minimum fare is $1C0J
everything included ve trie slight
expense of the side trip on shore from
Hilo to Kllauea. The steamer will be
the passenger's horns throughout the
trip.
Full information about the exourslon
may be obtained from representatives
of the S. P. S Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railroads.

icines I had ueed did me no good; until
I began the use of Plant Juice. It
helped me the first day and ij have
now used it for several weeks end all
stomach pains have disappeared; can
digest my food perfectly and era no
longer troubled wlth constipation. 1
cannot -say enough in praise, of ' Plant
Juice, as It has cured me and f shall
always praise it and tell all of my
frlenda to use Plant Juice."
