Agt, Oregon fijS-Cjt, fMR9t. 6remTtovlopmefit Cou, SW MontKOBiery n San Fmnetooo, CaL Marion county is situated in the heart of the magnificent Willamette valley, the ceritnil gem in tho clus ter of rich counties thnt form that princely domain, and is the banner commonwealth of the -great north west in all tho essentials that go to wards making it a profitable abiding place, and a home for the thrifty farmer, tho cunning artisan and the industrious mechanic Bich in Us agricultural resources, in Its cultivated and uncultivated lands, in its water powers, and minerals; rich in its colleges and scnoois ot learning, ana witti a climate unsurpassed for its salubrity. it presents to tne immigrant irom the overcrowded states, where cold winters ana not summers, wiin 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 Tieord from tho class who have been misled by them, so in this brief sketch the Writer desires to avoid exngeratlon as to its present and prospective advantages, asking those in the. east Into whose hands this may fall particularly those tvho have their1 eyes directed towards this coast to neruso .it careful lv. YeeUng that it is not written to lure immigrants witnin its borders, but only as a truthful discription of a land which, if it does not "flow milk and hone v." contains within Its' bosohl wealth and resources equal to any other country" on the Pacific s(de of the Bocky mountains. BotJtfbARiEs; Marion county is bounded on the" north by the Willamette river and Butte creek which separates Jt from Clackamas county; on the east by Clackamas county and the Cascade mountains, which separate it from Wasco ceuntv: on the eolith bv the Santiam river and theCnbit&fork of tne oontiam, seMrapng i? "Pm Iiirin coun.ty,antf at? the'Vesfrby tfte Willamette Wpiv - ' PHYSICAL FOMATlqjr. The county contains, including valley, prairie and mountain lands, about 900,000 acres. .. Thereiare two main divisions, the moun,tajn ana thoT. valley. The' latter; extends fronj 1fre WUlam.efte river to the foot of tho Cascade mountains, a distance of about fif teen niiled. The mountainous portion contains sqnte fourteen townships o"f mostly" unsurveyea1 iana; lying in a strip, twelve miles north and south bv foirty mileft east and west, and, com prises an classes ot lanci, irom ricn 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 Jn 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 tho more en terprising farmers are availing them selves of this opportunity, aria when tho colufrpsts bvautumn approach, the stock' are hroufeht out to fresh pastures, thus enabling them to sur vive tho winter storms with little care. GJtEAT APVANTAGE3. A- decided advantage Marion coun ty has over many ethers: is. the di versified farmincr interest that can bo carried on throught the entire' 'yeajrj; notwitnstDnaing tnis is a wet uuuiuitt uuiiug iiiu wimui iuoui.ua, the Uplands are seldom too wet to work, and long before tho prairie' farmers are throuch with their seed ing, the hill farmer is preporiifK for his summer work. And yet the' low lands are much preferred by many; the yield per acre Is generally greajer, and perhaps less labor is re quired to place tlib soil In proper condition for crops; and then should the season prove dry, the bottom lands are sure to bring tho best crops. No better farming land can bp found lit tlo United States than that on the noted Howell prairie, French prairie, Santiam prairie and Salem, prairie. The soil of these are wonderfully productive; "With cdbil cultivation, forty bushels of wneat and sixty 01 oats per acre can be readily secured. 7CI$mBS FOR MARKET. Tho Willamette river; wft& two lines of railroad running the entire length of tho .county from north to' south, with the Oregon Pacific road crossing the southeast corner 'of the county, affords ample facilities to reach a. market In any direction. SALJEM Is the capital of the state and county seat of Marlon county, situ ated on tho Willamette river and on the O. & C. railroad. Costly buildings have been erected, among, which the state capltol building, county paurt house, Chemekete hotel, opera house, new public school building, Catholic school building, MisthodTst church, Willamette Un vefeltVf' fipd fiitfhy nrivatffrasideBces and TjoAlrfess bfooks, whloh will compare favorably with older and WrgrUls. OKKKItAL. All things considered, tHfcrWilUm ette valley has the beet eoumry m tho world and Marlon county Is about centerally located therein. To those seeking homos in the west, no better opportunities oan bo offered, than are found here, persons desiring information rebaralpg Marion county or the Willamette valley, those Wanting farming lands, stock farms, business property or city residences, will bo promptly and reliably Informed by addressing the well known firm of 'Willis & Chamborlln, real estate, agents, opera house block, Salem, Oregon.
