never has nor probably never will
bo able to formulate any distinctive
affirmative policy upon any im

Denver News on Moedy: "An

LANDS AND HOMES.
In the Garden Spot of tho
great Northwest.
Fertility of Soil, SMnbrltr or Climate, Whole
some Water, Exeellent Timber and
Delightful Srenerr-nealth,
Wealth, Prosperity.
Marion county is situated in the
heart of the magnificent Willamette
valley, the central gem in tho clus
ter of rich counties that form that
princely domain, and is tho banner
commonwealth of tho great north
west in all the essentials that go to
wards making it a profitable abiding
place, aud a home for tho thrifty
farmer, the cunning artisan and tho
industrious mechanic.
Bich 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
count' 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 the class who have
been misled by them, so in this
brief sketch tno writer desires to
avoid exageration as to its present
and prospective advantages, asking
those in the cast into whoso hands
this may fall particularly thoso
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 dlscription of a
land which, if it does not "flow
milk and honey," contains within
ita bosom wealth and resources equal
to any other country on the Pacific
side of the Bocky mountains.
BOUNDARIES.
Marion county is bounded on the
north by the Willamette river and
Butto creek which separates it from
Clackamas county; on tho east by
Clackamas county and the Cascade
mountains, which separate it from
Wasco ceuntv: on the south by tho
Santlam river and the north fork of
tho Santiam, separating it from
Linn county.andon the west by the
Willamette river.
PHYSICAL FORMATION.
The county contains, including
valley, prairie anu mountain tanas,
about 000.000 acres. .
There are two main divisions, the
mountain and the valley. Tho
latter extonds from tho Willamette
river to tho foot of the Cascade
mountains, a distance of about fif
teen miles.
The mountainous portion contains
some fourteon townships of mostly
uusurveyed land; lying in a strip
twelve miles north and south by
forty miles east and west, and com
prises all classes oi lanci, irom ncn
narrow valleys in tho pntse, up
through all tiie grades or roiling,
hillv aud broken, to that of rock-
bound canyons and inaccessible
craggy peaks. It is generally heavily
timbered, and in the near future
will bo valuable for its lumber sup
plies. These hills and mountains
Rilbrd a wonderful summer range
for stock, and many of tho moro en
terprising farmers are availing them
selves ot tins oppoi tunny, aim wnen
tho cold frosts of autumn approach,
tho stock are brought out to fresh
pastures, 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 tho entire
year; notwithstanding this is a wet
cllmato during tho winter months,
tho uplands are seldom too wet to
work, and long before the prairie
farmers are through with their heed
ing, tho hill fanner is preparing for
his summer work. And yet tho
low lands are 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 arc sure to bring the best
crops. No better farming land can
be found In tho United States than
that on the noted Howell prairie.
French prairie, Santlam prairie and
Salem prairie. Tho soil of these are
wonderfully productive. With good
cultivation, forty bushels of wheat
and sixty of oats per acre can bo
readily secured.
FACILITIES FOR MAIIKI7T.
The Willamette river, with two
lines of railroad running tho entire
length of the county from north to
south, with tho Oregon Pacific road
crossing tho southeast comer of tho
county, alf'ords ample facilities to
reach a nuirket in any direction.
SALEM
Is tho capital of the state ami
county seat of Marlon county, situ
ated on the Willamette river and
on tho O. C. railroad. Costly
buildings have Ikkmi erected, among
which the state capitol building,
county court house, Cfieinekete hotel,
opera house, new public school
building, Catholic school building,
Methodist church, Willamette Uni
versity, and many prlvute rosldoncws
and imslnoHH blocks, which will
compare favorably with older and
larger cities.
GKNKKAL.
All things considered, tho Willam
ette valley lias the bmt country In
tho world, and Marlon county Is
about centorally located therein.
To thoso seeking homes In the west,
no better opportunities enn be
ollered, than are found here. Persons
desiring Information regarding
Marlon county or the Willamette
valley, those wanting fanning
lands, stock farms, business property
or city residences, will be promptly
and reliably informed by addressing
tho well known linn of Willis
Chamberlin, real estate agents,

Worth Reaching After.
Salem merchants are eVer wide
awake to open new channels of trade
will witch our meaning, when we
tell them that an edition of over 3000
copies of the Weekly Capital
Journal 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 tho county tribu
tary to Salem. Circulation Is what
makes advertising valuable and the
Capital Journal guarantees Its
circulation to all advertisers. Tho
country trade Is worth reaching
after and an advertisement In tho
Weekly Capital Journal will be
a wonderful persuader. Bates on
