The trial of Barney McCaugh, jointly indicted with "W. K. Daly for making a felonious assauii upon Ada Drouet last December, took nlacc in Portland Tuesday. The r i t m ..li.x1 jury returned a vercuci oi anctiuuuu. Astoria prohibitonists met Satur day, and nominated the following ticket: For representatives, Aug. C. Kinney, Silas B. Smith; for sheriff, James Bell; for clerk, S. E. Morton; for commissioners, C. S. Dow and C. W. Shively ; for assessor, E. C. Jeffers; forschool superintend ent, Rev. A. Leroy; for justice of the peace, B. H. Stockton; for coroner, B. B. Franklin. What They Decided, The fish commissioners have de cided that no salmon of any kind or description shall be caught during the close season. It has been the custom hitherto to fish for, salmon at Oregon City during March and it was learned yesterday, says Friday's News, that parties were catching fish there at present. To-day Mr. Thompson will leave for Oregon City to investigate the matter, and if on inquiry it is,, found that the law-has been violated the parties will be arrested And prosecuted. Governor Pe'nnoyetfs attention has been called to the Oregon City matter and it is probable that he, too, will look into it and give it his personaLattention. The fish commissioners think that express companies and their agents are as much interested In enforcing the fish law as any other portion of the community Is, for the reason that if the salmon become extinct through ceaseless fishing, it means loss to the express companies. The fish commissioners, therefore, think that the express peoplo should refuse to carry salmon during the present month. It is against the law to catch the fish, and the ex press companies should, therefore, refuse to transport them for this rpnsrm nlone. if no other existed. If this was done It would go a long way towards preventing illegal fishing. Mr. Thompson stated that the law is generally being well observed. A few complaints were made about parties fishing on the lower Colum bia but those who "filed them M'ero in no case willing to swear out complaints for the reason that the information came to them second handed.

Fertility of Soil, Salubrity of Climate, Whole some Water, Excellent Timber and Deligbtfnl Scenery-Health, Wealth. Prosperity. Marlpn 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, aud 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 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 its colleges and schools of learning, and with a climate unsurpassed for Its salubrity, it presents to the Immigrant from the overcrowded btates, whore cold winters and hot summon, with 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 heard from the class who have been misled by them, so in this brief sketcli the 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 have their eyes directed towards this coast to peruse It carefully, feeling that It is not written to lure immigrants within Its borders, but onlv as a truthful discretion 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. HOL'NDARIICS. Marlon county is bounded on the 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 Wnsno eeuntv: on the south by the Santiam river and the north fork of the Santiam, separating it irom liinn couuty.andoil the west by the Willamette river. PHYSICAL FORMATION. The county contains, including valley, prairie and mountain lands, about 000,000 acres. There are two main divisions, the mountain and the valley. The latter extends from the Willamette rivfr 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 aud 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-' nlies. These hills and mountains afford a wonderful summer range for stock, and many ot tne more en terprising farmers are availing them selves of this opportunity, and when the cold frosts of autumn approach, thi srnek are broucrht 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 the di versified farming interest thafc-.can be carried on throught 'the entire year; notwithstanding this Isiiwet climate during the winter months, 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 many; the 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 the best crops. No better farming land can be found In the United States than that on the noted Howell prairie, French prairie, Santiam prairie and Salem prairie. The soil of these are wonderfully productive. With good cultivation, forty bushels of wheat 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 the 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. SALEM Is the capital of the state and county seat of Marion county, situ ated on the Willamette river and on the O. & C. railroad. Costly buildings have been erected, among which the state capitol building, county courthouse, Cnemeketchotel, opera house, new public school building, Catholic school building, Methodist church, Willamette Uni versity, and many private residences and business blocks, which will compare favorably with older and larger cities. GENERAL. All things considered, the Wlllam ottp vallov has tho best country in the world, and Marlon county Is about centerally located therein. To those seeking homes in the west, no better opportunities can be offered, than are found here. Persons desiring 'information regarding Marion county or the Willamette valley, 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 & Chamberlin, real estate agents, opera.jiouso bloek, Salem, Oregon.
