Much lias Seen written of th.'s
ffe7tern country that requires u
.tretch of the imagination to com
nrehenil, and numerous complaints
Ke heard from the class who have
misled by them, so in this
brief sketch the writer desires to
,void exageration as to its present
and prospective advantages, asking
those in the east into whose hands,

BOUNDARIES.
v.rinn nnnntv in bounded on the
north by the Willamette river and
Butte CrCCK WUICU Hupiuuiua il num
Clackamas county; on the east by
n,.i,or.-,oa fnnnt.v nnd tho Cascade
mountains, which separate it from
Wasco county; on the south by tho
Santlam river and tho north fork of
. Cor.ti.iT7i sfinnrntim? it from
Linn county.and on the west by tho
Willamette river.
PHYSICAL FORMATION.
The county contains, including
valley, prairie mm muumum nmus,
about 900,000 acres.
Trinro nro hvn 11111111 dlVlSlOHS. tllO
mountain and tho valley. Tho
latter extends from tho Willamette
river to the loot 01 ine vjascaae
mountains, a distance of about fif
teen miles.
Tim mrviini-ninmis nortlon contains
some fourteen townships of mostly
unsurveyea lana; lying in iv strip
rn-oivo miles north and south bv
forty miles east and west, and com
prises all classes 01 llinu, iroui nuu
narrow valleys in the passes, up
tnrougn au me gmues ui luuiug,
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
plies. These hills and mountains
afford a 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, tlius enabling them to sur
vive the winter storms with little
care.
OUKAT ADVANTAGES.
A decided advantage Marlon coun
ty has over many others is the di-
versmeu tanning interest mat can
be carried on throught the entire
year; notwithstanding this is a wet
climate during tho 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; tho yield per acre is generally
greater, and perhaps less lubor is re
quired to place the soil in proper
condition for crops; and then should
the season prove dry, tho bottom
lauds are suro to firing the best
crops. No better farming land can
be round 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, forty bushels of wueat
and sixty of oats per acre can bo
readily secured.
FACILITIES FOB MAHKET.
The Willamette river, with two
lines of railroad running tho entire
length of tho county from north to
frouth, with the Oregon Pacillo road
crossing tho southeast corner of tho
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 tho O. & C. railroad. Costly
buildings have been erected, among
which tho state capltol building,
countycourthouso.Chemeketehotel,
opera house, now 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 Willam
ette valley has the best country In
the world, and Marion county Is
about eentorally located therein.
To those seeking homes In the west,
no better opportunities can bo
offered, than are found bore. Persons
desiring information regarding
Marion county or tho Willamette
JIey, those wanting fanning
lands, stock farms, business property
r city residences, will be promptly
and reliably infonned by addressing
the well known firm of Willis 4
thamberlln, real estate agents,
opera house block, Salem, Oregon.
