LANDS AND HOMES. In the Garden Spot of great Northwest. the Fertility of Soil, Salubrity of Climate, Whole some Water, Excellent Timber and Delightful Scenery Health, Wealth, Prosperity. Marion county is situated in the lieart of the magnificent Willamette valley, the central gem in the clus ter of rich counties that form that princely domain, and is the banner commonwealth of the great north west in all the essentials that cro to wards making it a profitable abiding place, and a home for the thrifty fanner, the cunning nrtisan and the Industrious mechanic. Rich in its agricultural resources, in its cultivated and uncultivated lands, in its water powers, and minerals; rich in its colleges and schools of learning, and with a climate unsurpassed for its salubrity, ; it, presents to tne immigrant irom the overcrowded states, where cold winters and hot summers, with terrible cyclones, prevail, who comes to the coast with some means, advantages that no other county In Oregon possesses. Much has been written of this western country that requires a stretch of the imagination to com prehend, and numerous complaints are heard from the class who have been misled by them, so in this brief sketch the writer desires to avoid exageration as to its present and prospective advantages, asking those in the east into whose liauds this may fall particularly those who have their eyes directed towards this coast to peruse it carefully, feeling that it is not written to lure immigrants within its borders, but only us a truthful discription of a land which, if it does not "How milk and honey," contains within its bosom wealth and resources equal to any other country on the Pacific side'of the Rocky mountains. BOUNDARIES. . Marion county is bounded on the north by the Willamette river and Butte creek which separates it from Clackamas county; on the east by Clackamas county and the Cascade mountains, which separate it from Wasco county; on the south by the Santiam river and the north fork of the Santiam, separating it from Linn county .and on the west by the Willamette river. PHYSICAL FORMATION. The county contains, including valley, prairie and mountain lands, about 900,000 ncres. There are two main divisions, the mountain and the valley. The latter extends from the Willamette river to the foot of the Cascade mountains, a distance of about fif teen miles. The mountainous portion contains some fourteen townships of mostly unsurveyed land; lying in a strip twelve miles nortu nnu soutli by forty miles east and west, and com prises all classes of land, from rich narrow valleys in tne passes, up through nil the grades of rolling, hilly and broken, to that of rock bound canyons nnd inaccessible craggy peaks. It is generally heavily tinibered, nnd in the near future will be valuable for its lumber sup plies. These hills and mountains ufi'ord a wonderful summer range for stock, nnd many of the more en terprising farmers are availing them selves of this opportunity, nnd when the cold frosts of autumn approach, the stock are brought out to fresli pastures, thus enabling them to sur vive the winter storms with little care. GIIKAT ADVANTAGES. A decided advantage Marion coun ty has over ninny others is the di versified farming interest that can bo carried on throught the entire year; notwithstanding this is a wet climate during the winter months, the uplands are seldom too wet to work, and long before the prairie farmers are through with their seed ing, the hill farmer is preparing for liis summer work. And yet the low lands are much preferred by many; the yield per aero Is generally greater, and perhaps less labor is re quired to place the soil in proper condition for crops; and then should the season prove dry, the bottom lands are sure to bring the best crops. No better farming land can be found In the United States than that on the noted Howell prairie, French prairie, Santiam prairie and Salem prairie. Tlie soil of these are wonderfully nroductive. With irood cultivation, forty bushels of wheat and sixty of oats per acre can be readily secured. FACILITIES FOR MARKET. The Willamette river, with two lines of railroad running the entire lemrth of the county from north to soutli, with the Oregon Pacific road crossing the southeast corner of the county, altbrds ample facilities to reach a market in any direction. SALEM Is the capital of the state and county seat of Marion county, situ ated on the Willamette river and on the O. & C. railroad. Costly buildings have been erected, among which the state capitol building, county courthouse, Cheniekote hotel, opera house, new public school building, Catholic school building, Methodist church, Willamette Uni versity, and many private residences nnd business DIOCKH. WIHUII will 'with older compare favorably and larger ciues. GENERAL. All things considered, the Willam ette valley has the best country in tho world, and Marion county la iibout ceuterally located therein. To those seeking home in the wewt, no better opportunities can bo oilered, than are found here. Persons desiring Information regarding Marlon county or the Willamette valley, tho? wanting farming lands, stock farms, business property or city residences, will be promptly nnd reliably informed bv addressing the well known linn of Willis Chaniberlln, real estate agents, opera house block, Salem, Oregon.
