Marlon county is sltuutcd in the
heart of tho niagniflqent Willnmette
valley, the central gem In tho clus
ter of rich counties that form that
princely domain, Und is the banner
commonwealth of tile creat north
west in all the essentials that go to
wards minting li, a proiiiaDie auiaing
place, and a homo for the thrifty
farmer, the cunning artisan and the
industrious mechanic.
Rich in its agricultural resources.
in its cultivated and uncultivated
lands, in its water powers, and
minerals; rich in itfe colleges and
schools of learning, and with a
climate unsurpassed for its salubrity,
it presents to the Immigrant from
tho overcrowded states, where cold
winters and hot summers, with
terrible cyclones, prevail, who
comes to the coast with somo
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 tho class who have
been misled by them, so In this
brief sketch the writer desires to
avoid exage'ration as to its present
and prospective advantages, asking
those in the cast 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 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.
x BOUNDARIES.
Marlon county is bounded on tho
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 thengrtHiforkof
the Santiam, separatiiiglb'ifrom
Linn counfy.and-oH'tlic tyesSby the
Willamette river; '
PHYSICAL FORMATION, .
Tho county contains, including
valley, prairie and mountain lands,
about 600,000 acres.
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.
me mountainous portion coptntns
some fourteen townships of mostly
unsurveyea land; lying- m 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! be valuable for its 'lumber sup
plies. These hills and mountains
afford a wonderful summer range
for stock, and many of the more en
terprising farmers are availing them
selves tof this opportunltjjf and when
the coldfrftsts of. autumn approach,
the stock fare brought out to fresh
pasture's; 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 'tho di
versified farming Interest that can
be, carried on throught the entire
year; nqtwitnstbnuing tnis is a wet
climate during tno winter montns,
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
his summer work. And yet the
low lands are much preferred by
manv: tho vield per acre is trenerallv
greater, and perhaps less labor is rej-
4uucu iu jmivu iuu buii iu ufujjvi
condition for crops; and then should
the season prove dry, tho bottom
lands are sure to bring the best
crops. No better fanning land can
be found in the United States than
"that on the noted Hawell prairie,
French prairie, Santiam prairie and
Salem prairie. The soil of those are
wonderfully productive. With good
cultivation, forty bushels of wlieat
and sixty of oats per acre can be
readily secured,
FACILITIES FOR MARKET.
The Willamette river, with 'two
lines of railroad running the' entire
length of tho county from north to
south, with tho Oregon Pacific road
crossing tho southeast corner of the
county, ufibrds ample facilities to
reach a market iu any direction.
SALBM

county seat of Marion county, situ
