BOUNDARIKS. Marion county is bounded on the north by the Willamette river ana ,,..ii..Lt wliinh senarates it from Clackamas county; on the east by Clackamas county and the Cascade mountains, WUICU separate aiium .., n.lnv' rrn tlin nriuth nv the Qmti.im river and the north fork of the Santiam, separating it from Linn county tanu on me west uy iuu Willamette river. PHYSICAL FORMATION. The county contains, including valley, prairie and mountain lands, about 900,000 acres. There are two main divisions, the mountain and the valley. Tho latter extends irom tne wmameue .:,.,. in Hi font, of the Cascade mountains, a distance of about fif teen nines. rrUn mmintninnnct nnrrirm cnnmlns ime fourteen townships of mostly unsurveyed land; lying in a strip twelve mues norm auu Buuin uj ., mllha oot. ntifl -west, and com prises all classes of land, from rich narrow vaueys iu iuc iki3cd, uji through all the grades of rolling, hillv and broken, to that of rock- bound canvons and inaccessible craggy peaks. It is generally heavily timoerea, ana in iu ueur iuiuic will be valuable for its lumber sup plies. These hills and mountains afford a wondenui summer range far ntm.tr nml mfmv nf tlin more en- fnMiJntnn fntnnl-tl nln ni'llllitlfV tlintTI.

CHEAT ADVANTAGES. A decided advantage Marion coun ty has over many others is the di versified fanning interest that can be carried on throught the entire' year; notwithstanding 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, tho 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 suro to bring the best crops. No better farming land can be round 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 Iks readily secured. FACILITIES FOB MARKET. The Willamette river, with two lines of railroad running the entire length of the county from north to wuth, with tho Oregon Pacific road crossing the southeast comer of the county, ail'ords ample facilities to reach a market in any direction. SALEM Is the capital of the state and county heat of Marion county, situ ated on the Willamette river-rand on tho O. & C. railroad. Costly buildings have been erected, among wnlch the state canltolv building, county courthouse, Ohc'melicte hotel! ppera 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 wger cities. QENKKAL. All things considered, the Willam ette valley has the beat country in toe world, and Murion county Is about centerally located therein. To thows seeking homes in the west, no better opportunities can be offered, than are found here. Persons otwiriug Information regarding Marion county or tho Willamette valley, those wanting fanning "ids, stock farms, business property r dty residences, will be promptly and reliably informed by addressing we well known firm of Willis & tnamberlln, real estate agents, ''Pera house block, Salem, Oregon.
