Whole- funic Water, Excellent Timber and Delightful Scenery Health, Wealth, Prosperity. Marlon county is situated in the heart of the nmgnillcent Willamette valley, the central gem in the clus ter of rich counties that form that princely domain, and is the banner commonwealth of the great north west in all the essentials that go to wards making it a profitable abiding place, and a home for tho thrifty fanner, 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 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 cyclones, prevail, who conies to the const with some means, advantages that no other county In Oregon possesses. Much has been written of this western country that requlres a stretch of the imagination to com prehend, and numerous complaints are heard from tho class who have been misled by them, so in tills brief sketch tho writer desires to avoid exageration as to Its present and prospective advantages, asking those in the east into whose hands this may fall particularly those who huvo 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 "ilow milk and honev." contains within its bosom wealth and resources equal to any other country on the Pacific side of tho Rocky mountains. BOUND ABIES. Marion county is bounded on the north by the Willamette river and Bntte crook which senarates it from Clackamas county; on the east by Clackamas county and the Cascade mountains, which separate It from Wasco county; on the south by tho Santiam river and tho nortli fork of the Santiam, separating it from Linn county .and on the west by the Willamette river. PHYSICAL FOKMATION. TUp nmintv contains. includhiK valley, prairie and mountain lands, about 000,000 acres. t 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. 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 tho passes, up through all the grades of rolling, hilly and broken, to that of roek bound canyons and inaccessible craggy peaks. It is generally heavily tinibered, and in tho near future will be valuable for its lumber sup plies. These hills und mountains aflbrd a wonderful summer ran go for stock, and many ol tno more en terprising fanners are availing them selves of Wn opportunity, and when the cold frosts of autumn approach, the stock are brought out to Iresh pastures, thus enabling them to sur vlvo the winter storms with little care. OllEAT ADVANTAGIS. A decided advantage Marion coun ty has over many others is the di versified farming interest that can be curried ou throught tho entire year; notwithstanding this is a wet nllmntn tlurintr the winter months, tho uplands aro seldom too wet to worn, mm long ouioiu mu ii"" farmers aro through with their seed ing, tho hill farmer is preparing for his summer work. And yet the low lands aro much preferred by many; tho 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 the season prove dry, the bottom lands are sure to bring tho best crops. No better farming land can be found In tho United Btates than that on tho noted Howell prairie. French prairie, Santiam prairie and Salem prairie. The soil of these are wonderfully productive. With good cultivation, forty bushels ot wheat and sixty of oats per acre can be readily secured. KACILITIKS FOIl MAIIKHT. Tho Willumette river, with two lines of railroad running the entire length of the county from nortli to south, with the Oregon Pacific road crossing tho southeast comer of the county, ullbrds ample facilities to reach a nuirket in any direction.
