Hon concerning this state that was
r published. In fact, it is the
ln,t book ever published setting
fcrthln detail tne nuvamages una
advantages there are blessed few
rf the latter of every district, and
itftionof the state, and at the same
joe containing full and reliable
statistical information regarding our
igourccs and industries.
There is this which will commend
this book to people in ilio East de
sttoR information regarding our
,tjte: The book appears as an ofllc
iil document of the state govern
ment, and an authoritative state
ment of facts regarding the state,
inddoes not bear with it the idea
that the publisher or author desires
losell the reader a farm just for the
lommission there is in such an cx
thauge of values.
There are just an even hundred
pages In the book proper, but the
third page of the cover contains
much valuable information a list
of the periodical publications of the
state. Each page contains more
nutter than is contained in two and
i half columns of the Capital
Joirxai., and is set in nonpareil
tjpe.
The book ilrst considers Oregon as
j whole; then divides it into its
three natural sections Eastern,
Western and Southern Oregon; then
it takes the stte up by counties
and a very comprehensive state
ment of the topography, loca
tion, soil, climate, cities and
towns, industries and resources of
each political subdivision of the
state is given in plain and "unvar
nished" language language that
iny one can understand. The state
ments contained in these descrip
tions Kin all bo verified, as Secretary
J.T.Gregg, to whom tho credit of
the publication is almost entirely
due, was exceedingly careful iu the
tompllation of the work, that no
claims were made for any particular
section or for the state, in which
that sictlon or the state could not
tar him out.
To Marion county, two and a half
pages are devoted. In this discuss
ion of Marion county, tho following
reference is made to Salem :
".Salem, the capital of the state, is
uso the county seat of Marion coun
ty. This city is located on the east
mk of the Willamette river, in a
tautlful prairie sloping toward the
nvcr. Its population is between

The Joukxai. has not the space
to pay as close attention totWU work
as it would like. After tho Viscrip-
tionsot the counties, appears n most
complete review, both written ami
statistical, of tho meteorology of Or
egon, anil especially considering the
climate and climatic changes of each
section of the state: a comprehensive
article on the theory of our public
scnool system, by Supt. iMcElroy;
the forest trees of Oresron. bv Prof.
Thos. Condon, state mineralogist;
our mineral resources, by Herbert
Lang, an authority on tho subioct.
are well defined; Hon. John Minto
gives reliable information concern
ing our sheep and wool industries;
Hon. Thomas Paulsen writes on our
dairy interests; P. L. Whitman, our
fruit culture; he report of the Or.-.
gon Fish Commission relative to the
Salmon industry is given; Commer
cial interests, railways and transpor
tation routes, and much other valu
able information is given. The work
certainly reflects great credit on the
State Board of Agriculture, and, as
stated above, on its able secretary,
to whom was left the entire work of
compiling and revising all, and writ
ing much of the book.
Don't l'amler to That Tate.
A respected subscriber appeared at
this oflico yesterday evening, In
high dudgeon, throwing a copy of
our interesting aud valuable paper
savagely on the deskj'with "There!
I don't want your paper! Haint
got no news in it." On being asked
by the senior editor what was the
trouble, it was learned that the
JouiiNAii devoted but a few lines to
the trial of the murderer of his step
daughter, Wm. Landreth, and that,
in order to get tho whole batch of
disgusting and nasty evidence as
rehashed at the trial, he had to hunt
up a niorning cotemporary. Tho
reporter of this paper, by whose
pencil was formulated the few lines
setting fortli the fact of Landreth's
being found guilty of murder iu the
first degree all the news there was
connected with the trial, felt that
the facts concerning this beastly
homicide were sufliciently well
known to the public, and that he
could fill up his space with, at least,
a higher order of reading matter, if
not a more "interesting" lot of news.
If our respected render had waited
for a few days lie might have se
cured a copy of tho Police Gazette
which will probably contain a full
and complete history of the interest
ing case, highly embellished with
still more "Interesting" illustrations.
Droke Ilolh his Arms.
Late yesterday evening, Roy, the
eldest child of Geo. D. Goodhue, the
wood dealer met with a very severe
and painful accident. Roy is be
tween four and five years old, and
was climbing in a small fir tree near
the housctpn Winter, between Mill
and Bellevuc streets, and missing
Ills hold, fell to the ground on his
head, and arms. On being picked
up, he was taken to tho house, and
Dr. B. R. Jessup called who found
that the little fellow had suffered a
fracture of both arms near the wrists.
Both bones in tho left fore ami
wero broken, but only one In tho
right. Ho was pretty .badly bruised
about tho head, also. The bones
wero reset, however, and the little
sufferer made as comfortablo as
possible.

Landreth to lie Hinged.
Yesterday afternoon at Dallas,
Judgo Bolso sontonced W. Landreth
to lie hanged, but did not llx the
date of the execution. Landreth
made a rambling speech of ten min
utes, before the wmtenco was paired
on him, principally regarding tho
disposition of his property. The
death warrant was to have boon !f
fciiod this morning, which probably
lixoa tho date of the hanging.

LANDS AXU HOMES.
Marion county is situated in the
Heart of the magnificent Willamette
valley, the central gem In tho clus
ter of rich counties that form thus
princely domain, and 19 the banner
commonwealth of the great north
west iu all the essentials that go t--wards
making it a profitable abiding
place, and a homo for tho thrift;
tanner, the cunning artisan and tl.e
industrious mechanic
Rich in its agricultural resources
in its cultivated and uncultivated
lands, In its water powers, ami
minerals; rich in its colleges and
schools of learning, and with a
climate unsurpassed for its salubrity,
it presents to tho immigrant from
the overcrowded states, where cold
winters and hot summers, with
terrible cyclones, prevail, who
conies to the coast with some
means, advantages that no other
county in Oregon possesses.
Much has been written of this,
western country that requires r.
stretch of the imagination to com
prehend, and numerous complaints
are heard from tho class who have
been misled by them, so in thU
brief sketch tho writer desires to
avoid exageratlon as to its present
and prospective advantages, asking
those in the east into wlioso hands
this may fall particularly fliOfe
who havo their eyes directed towards
this coast to peruse it carefully,
feeling that it is not written to lure
immigrants within its borders, but
only as a truthful discriptlon of a
land which, if it does not "flow
milk aud honey," contains within
its bosom wealth and resources equal
to any other country on tho Pacific
side of the, Rocky mountains.
HOITNDABIEB.
Marlon county is bounded on tin
north by the Willumette river and
Butte creek which separates it lr in
t'lackanias county; on the east !
I'lackmnos county and the Caseaiu
mountains, which separate it from
Wasco county; on the south by tl
ftmtlum river and the north fork ut
the Santlain, separating it from
Ijinn county.andon tho west by tl.e
Willamette river.
PHYSICAL FOUMATION.
Tho county contains, includn ;
valley, prairie and mountain lam..-,
about 900,000 acres.
There are two main divisions, tin
mountain aud tho valley. Tin
latter extends from tho Willamette
river to the foot of tho Caseiu'i
mountains, a distance of about f '
teen miles.
Tim mmintnlnnnnnnrtlnil O.'llltnil s
some fourteen townships of nnM!.
itnsurvcyeu lanu; tying m a mi t
twelve miles north and south Ij
forty miles east and west, and cuii'
prises all classes of land, from ilili
narrow valleys in tho passet, up
through all tho grades of rolluui,
hilly aud broken, to that of me
bou'nd canyons and inacccsslb'e
craggy peaks. It is generally heavily
timbered, and In tho near futuie
will be valuable for its lumber ni'j -plies.
These hills and mountains
itll'ord a wonderful summer ran, 1
for stock, and many of tho more ei.
terprising farmers are availing then
selves of this opportunity, and whin
the cold frosts or autumn approach,
(ho stock aro brought out to fresh
pastures, thus enabling them to mir
,'ive the winter storms with. Utile
care.
ailKAT ADVANTAOKS.
A decided advantage Marion coun
ty has over many others is the di
versified farming interest that can
bo carried on tlirought the entiio
year; notwithstbnding this Is a wet
cliniato during tho winter months,
the uplands 1110 seldom too wet ti
work, and long before tho prairie
fanners are through with their seed
ing, tho hill farmer Is preparing for
His summer worn. Aim jo m
low lands aro much 'preferred by
.uaiiy; tho yield per acre Is generally
creator, and perhaps less labor Is re
quired to place the soil in proper
condition for crops; and then should
Ilio bcason prove ciry, wiu uuuuiu
lands aro suro to bring tho best
crops. No better farmlni land can
bo found in tho United States than
that on tho noted Howell pralrio.
French prairie, Santiam prairie and
Salem prairie. The soil of these are
wonderfully productive. With good
cultivation, forty bushols of wheat
and sixty of oats per acre can lie
icidlly secured.
FACIIilTIIlS FOR MAIIKKT.
The Wlllamotto river, with two
lines of railroad running tho entlro
length of tho county from north to
'I'HiTh.SwIth tho Oregon Pacific rond
crossing the southeast comer of tho
county, alfords ample facilities to
reach 11 market In any direction.
BALKM

county scat of Marlon county, situ
ated on tho Willamette river and
on tho O. & C. railroad. Costly
1 ulldlngs have been erected, among

ulmut centerally located therein.
