XVtVll AAA MO UfjllVUlbUlUt AOV141 Vj in its cultivated and unoultivateu lands, in its witter powers, and minerals; rich in its colleges and schools of learning, and with a climate unsurpassed for its salubrity. it presents to the immigrant from the overcrowded states, where cold winters and hot summers, with terrible cyclpnes, 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 aro heard from the class who have been misled by them, so in this brief sketch the writer desires to avoid exageration aa to It present and prospective advantages, asking those in the east into whose hands this may fall particularly those who have their eyes directed towards thjs coast to peruse itj carefully, feeling that it is not written to lure immigrants within its borders, but only as a truthful discription of a land which, if it docs not "flow milk and honey," contains within its bosom wealth and resources equal to any other country on the Pacific side of the Eocky 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 tho 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.anclon tno westj-py the Willamette river. PHYSICAL FORMATION- The county contains, including valley, prairie and mountain lands, about 000,000 acres. There are two main divisions, the. mountain and the valley. The. latter 6xtendS from the Willamette river to the foot of tho Cascade mountains, a distance of, about fif teen miles. The mountainous portion contains spme fourteen" townships of mostly unsurveyeti tana; lying in a strip twelve milei north and south by forty miles east and west, and com prises all classes of land, from rich narrow valleys in tho 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 be valuable for its lumber sup plies, xneso mils anu mountains afford a wonderful summer range for stock, and many of the more en terarisinff farmers are availing them selves of this opportunity, ima when, the cold frosts of autumn approach, rim a4-rfli' rr KiiVtr iit- -rx ftivnli' pastures, thus enabling them to sur vive the winter storms with little care. GREAT APVANTAOKS. i decided advantage Marion coun ty has over many others is the di versified farming interest that can be carried on throught tho entire year; notwithstanding tlfis is a wet climate during tho winter months, the uplands are seldom too wet to work, and, long before tho prairie farmers arc through with their Seed ing, the liill farmer is preparing for his summer work. And yet the low lands aro 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 for crops; and then should tho season prove dry, tho bottom lands are sure to bring the best crops. No better farming land can be found in the United States than that on tho noted Howell prairie, French nralrie. Santiam nrairleanu f Salem prairie. The sojl of theg, 'are, wonueriuuy proaucuve. wiui gooa cultivation, forty bushels of wheat and sixty of oata per acre can be readily secured. FAOItipiRS FOR MARKET, The Willamette river, with two lines of railroad running the entire length of the county from north to south, with tho Oregon Pacific road crossing the southeast corner of tho county, affords ample facilities to reach a market in any direction.
