PARRY, Manager. mm LANDS AND HOMES. In the Garden Spot of great Northwest. the Fertility of Soil. Salubrity of Climate. Whole some Water, Excellent Timber anil Delightful Scenery Health, Wealth, Prosperltj. Marion county is situated in the heart of the magnificent 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 the thrifty fanner, the cunning artisan and the industrious mechanic. Riclt 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 comes to tho coast with some means, advantages that no other county in Oregon possesses. Much has been written of this western country that requires a stretcli of the imagination to com prehend, and numerous complaints are heard from the clas who have been misled by them, so in tills brief sketch the writer desires to avoid exageratlou 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 luro immigrants within its borders, but only as a truthful discription of a land which, if it does not "fiow milk and honey," contains within its bosom wealth and resources equal to any other country on the Pacific side of the Rocky mountains. BOUNDARIES. Marlon county is bounded on the north by the Willamette river and Butte creek which separates it from Clackamas county; on the cast by Clackamas county and the Cascade mountains, which separate it from Wasco ceunty: on the south by tho Suntiam river and tho north fork of the santiam, separating it ironi Linn county .and on the west by the Willamette river. PHYSICAL FORMATION. The countv contains, including valley, prairie and mountain lands, about 900,000 acres. There are two main divisions, the mountain and the valley. The latter extends from tho Willamette river to the foot of the Cascade mountains, a distance of about fif teen miles. Tho 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 parses, 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 sun- plies. These hills and mountains afi'ord u wonderful summer range for stock, and many of the more en terprising farmers are availing them selves of this opportunity, and when the 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. ORKAT ADVANTAGES. A decided advantage Marion coun ty has over many others is tho di versified farming interest that can be carried on tnrought tho entire year; notwithstbnding tills Is a wet climate during the winter months, the uplands aro seldom too wet to work, and long before the prairie farmers arc 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 irrcatex. and nerhans less labor Is re- quirecT to place the soil in proiwr condition lor crops; aim men wnoum the season prove dry, tho bottom lands aro 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 prairie, Santiam prairie and Salem prairie. Tho soil of these are wonderfully productive. With good cultivation, lorty bushels of wheat ami sixty of oats per acre can bo reauliy secured. FACILITIES FOR MAllKin'. Tho Willamette river, with two lines of railroad running the entire length of the county from north to south, with the Oregon Pacific road crossing the southeast corner of tho county, aflbrds ample facilities to reach a market in any direction. 8ALKM Is tho capital of tho state and county scat of Marion county, situ ated on the Willamette river and on tho O. A C. railroad. Costly buildings have leeu erected, among which the state capitol building, county courthouse, Chemekote hotel, operu house, new public school building, Catholic school building, Mothodlst church, Willamette Uni versity, and many private rosldoncos and uuslnowt blocks, whloh will comimro favorably with older and larger cities. UKNKUAI.. All things considered, the Willam ette valley has the best country in the world, and Marion county Is about centerally located therein. To those seeking homes in tho west, no better opportunities can be ofiered, than tire found here. Persons desiring information regarding Marlon county or the Willamette T.lley, those wanting farming lands, stock farms, business property or city residences, will be promptly and reliably informed by addressing the well known firm of Willis & Chainberlin, real estate agents, opera house block, Salem, Oregon. Worth Keaehlng fter. Salem merchants are ever wide awake to open new channels of trade will catch our meaning, when we tell them that an edition of over ."000 copies of the Wixki.y Capital JoiTiiNAi. will bo sent out next week. This paper will visit nearly every household In Marion county and many in Northern Polk, espec ially that part of the county tribu tary to Salem. Circulation is what makes advertising valuable and the Capital Journal guarantees Us circulation to all advertisers. The country trade is worth reaching after and an advertisement in the WnuivLY Capital Journal will be a wonderful nersuader. Rates on application to Will II. Parry, Man ager. Till: MAKKKTfe.
