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 tho immigrant from 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 mat requires a stretch of th imagination to com- prenena, ana numerous complaints are heard from the class who have been misled by them, so in this brief sketch the writer desires to avoid cxagerution as to its present and prospective advantages, asking those in the east into whose hands 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 as a truthful description of a land which, if it does not "flow milk und honey," contains within its bosom wealth and resources equal to any otner country on tne .f acme 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 tho Bantiam, separating it from Linn county,and on the west by tho Willamette river. PHYSICAL- FORMATION. The county contains, including valley, prairie and mountain lands, about 000,000 acres. There ore two main divisions, the mountain and the valley. The latter extends from the Willamette fiver to the foot of the Cascado 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 north and south by forty miles east and west, and com prises all classes of land, from rich narrow valleys in the passes, up through all the grades of rolling, hilly and broken, to that of rock bound canyons and inaccessible craggy peaks. It is generally heavily timbered, and in the near future will bo valuable for its lumber sup plies. These hills and mountains afford a wonderful summer range for stock, and many of tho more en terprising farmers are availing them selves of this opportunity, and when tho cold frosts of autumn approach, the stock are brought out to fresh pastures, thus enabling them to sur vive the winter storms with little care. GREAT ADVANTAGES. A decided advantage Marion coun ty has over many others is the di versified farming interest that can be carried on throught tho entire year; notwithstbndlng this is a wet climate uunng tuo winter montns, tho 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 his summer work. And yet the low lands are much preferred by many; the yield per acre Is generally greater, and perhaps less labor is re quired to place the soil in proper condition lor crops; anu men snouia the season prove dry, .the bottom lands are sure to bring the best crons. No better farmiutr land can be found in the United States than that on the noted Howell prairie, French prairie, Santiam prairie and Salem prairie. The soil or these are wonderfully productive. With good cultivation, forty bushels of wneat and sixty of oats per acre can be readily secured. FACILITIES FOR MARKET. The Willamette river, with two Hues of railroad 'running tho entire length of the county from north to south, with the Oregon Pacific road crossing the southeast corner of tho county, affords ample facilities to reach a market in any direction. SALEM Is tho capital of tho state and county seat of Marion &unty, situ ated on the Willamette river and on the O. & C. railroad. Costly buildings have been erected, among whloh the state capltol building, county courthouse, Cnemeketo hotel, opera house, now public school building, Catholic school building, Methodftt ohurch, Willamette Uni versity, and many private residences and business biQote. which will compare favorably with older and larger oitkw.

The current number of Tho West Shore Is accompanied by a large, tinted supplement, showing the Fa mous Shoshono Falls, of Snake river, a cataract superior to Niagara in many respects, though carrying a smaller volume of water. These monthly supplements will continue a feature of the maglzinefor 1888, and will make a valuable collection of large and spirited engravings of tho most famous scenes of tho Pa cific Northwest. Tho illustrations of tho number arc dovoted to the cities of East Portland and Albina, and the Quaker settlement of Ncw berg, In tho Chehalem valley. The literary features are especially en tertaining, consisting of stories, sketches, poetry, and much valuable descriptive matter. In the March number will appear the opening chapters of a highly interesting story of tho great civil war, written by James P. Shaw, whoso service in tho army during the entire period of the rebellion qualifies him to write entertainingly of the seeues he wit nessed. It is a romance of deep in terest, as well to the vounirer ccner- ation as to those who participated in the stirring events of that period. Another feature of the March num ber will be illustrations of Tacoma, the city of phenomenal growth. A largo supplement of Mt. Tacoma,, the most magnificent snow peak in the world, will be furnished with tho March issue. The West Shore Is published at Portland, Oregon, by T. flnmnnl n 0 Kt .. ... C5, pie copy 25 cents.
