PHYSICAL FORMATION.

The county contains, including
valley, prairie and mountain lands,
about 100000 acres.
There are two main divisions, The
mountain and the valley. The
latter extends from the Willamette
river to the foot of the Cascade
mountains, a distance of about fl
teen miles.
The mountainous portion contains
some fourteen townships of mostly
unsurvcyed land; lying in a strip
twelve miles north and south 10y
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
cruggy peaks. 1t is generally heavily
timbercd, and in the near futme
will be valuable for its lumber SUI

LANDS AND HOMES.

Marion county is situated in the
leart Of the magnificent Willamette
valley, the central gem in the clus-
ter Of rich counties that form that
princely domain, and 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
nrner, 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 states, where cold
winters and hot summers, with
terrible cyclones, prevail, who
comes to the coast with some
means, advantages that no other
county i'm Oregon possesses.
Much has been written of this
western country that requires "a

brief sketch the writer desires to
avoid cxagcration as to its present

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
within its borders, but
only as a truthful description Of
land which, if it does not "flow

~ Say, boss, people said when that

MoRAL.-Criticism answers for itself.
You are right, man, when you say am
the man for all honest laboring men. In
these times of panic and hard times il is
necessary that every honorable man should

Dyspepsia is dreadful. DiSordered liver
is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good ma
turc.
The human digestive apparatus is one of
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence. 1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, ir-
regular habits, and many other things
which ought not TO be, have made the
American people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad bus

healthy that they can enjoy their meals
and be happy.
