uch "s eeii written of this
JS country that renuires a
.tretcli of the imagination to com-
PfS from the class who have
Sn misled by them so in this
?r sketch the writer desires to
Sdexageration as to its present

Sffirants within its borders, but

uS which, if it does not "flow

IIOI'NDAIIIES.
Marion 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
Wasco county; on the south by the
Santiani river and the north fork of
the Santiam, separating it from
Linn county .and on the west by the
Willamette river.
PHYSICAL FOUMATION.
The county contains, including
vilW. nrairie and mountain lands,
about 900,000 acres.
Thorn nrn t.U'O 11111111 U1V1H1UI1H. IUU
mountain and the valley. The
iitn vtrnnrls frnui the Willamette
river to the foot of the Cascade
mountains, a distance 01 aDouini
teen miles.
rpha tnnimtninniiH nnrtioii contains
seme fourteen townships of mostly
unsurveyeu lanu; lying in u strip
twelve nines norm unu buuiu uy
fnri- .ntlna onat nnd wpst. and com
prises all classes of land, from rich
narrow valleys in the passes, up
through all the grades of rolling,
hilK. niiH hrnkpii. to that of rock-
bound canyons and inaccessible
craggy peaks. It is generally heavily
timbered, and in the near future
u-iii lw vnlimbln for its lumber sun-
plies. These hills and mountains
afford a wonderful summer range
for stock, and many of tho more en-
tumrtclmr fiirmnra nvo nvnllinrr tlieni-
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.
OHKAT ADVANTAGES.
A decided advantage Marion coun
ty has over many others is the di
versified farming interest that can
be carried on tnroimht tho entire
year; uotwithstbnding this is a wet
climate during the winter months,
the uplands are seldom too wet to
work, and long before the prairie
fanners are through with their seed
ing, the hill fanner is preparing for
his summer work. And yet the
low lands are much preferred by
many; tho yield per aero is generally
greater, ana perhaps less labor is re
quired to place the soil in proper
condition for crops; nnd then should
iue season prove ury, mo ooitom
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, Rnntiam 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 FOK JIARKKT.
The Willamette river, with two
lines of railroad running the entire
length of the county from north to
south, with tho Oregon Pacific road
crossing the southeast corner of the
county, nilbrds ample facilities to
reach a market in any direction.
SALES!

county seat of Marlon county, situ
ated on the Willamette river and

peru house, new public school
gliding, Catholic school building,

and business blocks, which will
compare favorably with older and
larger cities.
GEXEItAL.

ette valley has the best country in

about centerally located thoreln.
