PHYSICAL FORMATION.

The county contains, including
valley, prairie and mountain lanGs,
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
msurveyed land; lying in strip
welve miles north and south by
orty miles east and west, and com
orises all classes of land, from rich
narrow valleys in the passes, up
through all the grades of rollrn@,
hilly and broken, to that of rock
bound canyons and inaccessible
craggy peaks. 1t is generally heavily
.imbered, and in the near future
viii be valuable for its lumber SUI
plies. These hills and mountains
afford wonderful summer range
for stock, and many of the more en-
terprising farmers are availing them
selves of this opportunity, and when
the cold trOsts of autumn approach,
the stock are brought out to fresh
pastures, thus enabling them to srr-
vive the winter storms with little
care

GREAT ADVANTAGES.

\ decided advantage Marion coun-
ty has over many Others is the di-
versilied farming interest that can
be carried on throught the entire
year; Notwithstanding this is Il wet
climate during the winter months.
the uplands are seldom too wet tu
work, and long before the prairie
farmers are through with their seed
ing, the hill farmer is preparing for
his summer work. And vet tho
low lands are much preferred hy
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 bc
readily secured.
FACILITIES FOR MARKET.
The Willamette river, with two
Nres Of railroad running the entire
ength of the county from north 10
south, with the Oregon Pacific road
crossing the southeast corner of the
county, affords ample facilities 10
reach a market in any direction.

LANDS AND HOMES.

Marion county is situated in the
neart of the magnificent Willamette
valley. the central gem in the clus-
ter of rich counties that form that
uripcelv domain, and is the banner
commonwealth of the great north
vest in all the essentials that 60 to-
wards making it aprOtitable abiding
place. and a home for the thrifty
farmer, the cunning artisan and the
Industrious mechanic.
Rich in its agricultural resources
i'm 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,
il 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 in Oregon possesses.
Much has been written of this
western country that requires a
stretch of the imagination to COM
and numerous complaints
are heard from the class who have
been misled by them, so in this
brief sketch 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
within its borders, but
Jnly as "a truthful description of a
and which, if it does not "fow
milk and honey" contains within
is bosom wealth and resources equal
10 any other country on the Pacific
,de of the Rocky mountains.
BOUNDARIES.
Marion county is bounded on the
lorth by the Willamette river and
Butte creek which separates it from
Hckamas county; on the east by !
lackamas county and the Cascade |

As we bring our garlands of flowers to spread,
Above the mounds of our heroes dead,
There comes a vision Of those who fell
Defending the cause they loved 50 well.
Who far from home and loved ones away,
Are sleeping in unknown graves to-day.
No mother, with tears, above them grieves,
No sister, for them, her bright garland weatves,
No daughter gathers the first spring bloom,
To deck with flowers the patriots tomb,
No kindrcd's foOtstcp with gentle tread,
Echoes above our unknown dead.

While nature her dewy teal S will shed,
And when, from His throne, the message shall
