BOUNDARIES,
PHYSICAL FORMATION.

The county contains, including
valley, prairie and mountain lands,
about 800, 600 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 fif-
teen miles.
The mountainous portion contains
some fourteen townships of mostly
unsurveyed land; lying in a strip
twelve miles north and south by
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
craggy peaks. 1t is generally heavily
timbered, and in the near future
viii be valuable for its lumber sup
plies. These hills and mountains
afford q 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, thus enabling them to sur
viye the winter storms with little
care.

GREAT ADVANTAGES.

"A decided advantage Marion cOun-
ty has over many others is the di-
versifled farming 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
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; 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 be
readily secured.
FACILITIES FOR MARKET.
The Willamette river, with two
lines of railroad running the entire
length of the county from north to
south, with the Oregon Pacific road
crossing the southeast corner of the
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 the o. a G. railroad. Costly
buildings have been erected, among
which the state capitol building,
county court house, Chemekete hotel,
opera house, new public school
building, Catholic school building,
Methodist church, Willamette Uni
versity, and many private residences
and business blocks, which viii
compare iavombly with older and

To Elect This Fall.

The death of Auditor General Nor
ris makes vacancy in tha. Office that
under the law must be filed by an
elsction this fall. The death taking
place three months before a General
Election the law requires the success :
sion to the Office to be filed by an
election. An appointment by the
Governor, however, was necessary to
Gil the vacancy during the remainder
Of the year and until the first Monday
Of May 1859, almost q year.
Governor Beaver. it will be seen
has appointed the Chief Clerk in the
ONCE, Col. Thomas McCsmant, to fill
the vacancy. Just how the nomina.
tion is to be made for a regular sue
cessor in the Office we cannot as yet
state, but are Of the opinion that the
late State Republican Convention
viii either have to re-assembIe or q
new one be provided for. There
would probably be no serions objec-
tion to the re-assembling of the late
Convention, which would seem q
more proper manner Of naming the
next candidate than il the State Cen.
tral Committe should undertake to
name the candidate.

PARIS, May II, 1888,
WhiteIaw Reid, Esq, Editor Ne,o
York Tribune:
DEAR SIR.-Since my return to
Paris from Southern Italy on the Sth
inst, l have learned (what | did not
before believej that my name may
yet be presented to the National Con
vention as n candidate for the Presi.
dental nomination of the Republican
party. A single phrase OF my letter
of Jan. 20 from Florence (Which
was decisive Of everything had the
power to decide has been treated
by many of my most valued friends
as not absolutely conclusive in ulti-
mate and possible contingencies. On
the other hand friends equally devot-
cd and disinteres:e1 have construed
my letter Gas it should be cons:rued)
to be an unconditional withholding Of
my name from the National Conven-
ton. They have, in consequence,
given their support to eminent gentle
men, who are candidates for the Chi
cago nomination, some Of whom
would not, l am sure, have consented

period of political caucus has depart
ed, never to return, and yet we should
confer and have unity, if possible. "
In these matters he spoke only for
himself. my convictions on the
tariff are stroug and founded, as |
think, upon principle and upon infor-
nation and comprehension of the
subject. When anyone here enters
upon the task Of invoking caucus
power or other modes of coercion, |
can only say to him, if he acts with a
good purpose; that it will prove a
fruitless undertaking; or if with ill
motive. then | assign him to all the
natural contempt which such self-con-
stituted superciliousness deserves"
Before Mr.. Randall had finished his
speech his time had expired, when
the pitiable scene was presented of
Mr.. Mills objecting to allowing him
additional time. Mr.. Mckinley and
Mr.. Breckenridge, who were to speak
after him, volunteered to allow him
fifteen minutes of their time, when he
concluded this terrible lashing OF
British supporters in preference to
America.

The Memorial Sermon.

For some years past the Grand Army
Post of this place has had religious
services on the Sunday preceding
Memorial Day, the chief feature Of
which was the preaching of sermon
10 them by one Of our ministers. This
year they chose Rev. ID. l.. Roth of
the English Lutheran Church Of this
place to perform that duty. That
Rev. Roth well performed it was at.
tested by the hearty congratulations,
bandsbsking and thanks extended
him by the veterans at the close of
bis sermon. He took his text from
jeremiah, chapter Ii, verse so.
aye that have escaped the sword, 70 away,
stand not still, remember the Lord"
The application Of the text to the
occasion was not only fitting but
made sermon which was highly ap-
Yreciated. eloquent and commend
ing very general praise. The church,
English Lutheran, wss crowded to
excess. in fact many not being able to
get within its walls. 1t was finely
decorated for the occasion. Five Ma.
tional colors were above or around
the pulpit. two Of the flags crossing
In front Of the chancel railing. Some
6ne palm ferns, lilies, and bouquets of
garden and wild flowers, were on or
around the altar and pulpit. And,
more conspicuous than all, in large
and bright letters. was the word,
WELCOME, which extended across
aud in front of the pulpit and which
made oil feel at home.
Taken altogether this Memorial
Day service and sermon on Sunday,
Nay q, 1888, surpassed any yet held
In this place. and to say that all
felt benefited by them 10 bat to ex.
press the general opinion.

to assume that position. if l had de-
sired to represent the party in the
Presidential contest of 1888.
If should now, by speech or by
silence. by commission or omission,
permit my name, in any event, to
come before the convention, | should
incur the reproach of being uncandid
with those who have always been
candid with me. | speak, therefore,
because | am not willing to remain in
a doubtful attitude. | am not will
ing to be the cause of misleading a
single man among the millions who
have given me their suffrages and
their confidence. | am not willing
that even one Of my faithful support
ers in the past should think me capa.
BILE ot paltering in double sense
with my own words. Assuming that
the Presidential nomination could by
possible chance be offered to me, l
could not accept it without leaving in
the minds of thousands of these men
the impression that | had not been
free from indirection, and therefore l
could not accept it at all. The mis-
representations of malice have no
weight, but the just displeasure of
friends l could not patiently endure.
Republican victory, the prospects
of which grow brighter every day,
can be imperilfed only by lack of
unity in council or by acrimonious
contest over men. The issue of pro.
lection is incidentally stronger and
greater than any man, for it concerns
the prosperity of the present and of
generations yet to come. Were it
possible for every voter of the Re-
public to see for himself the condition
and recompense of labor in Europe,
the party of free trade in the United
States would not receive the support
of one wage worker between the two
oceans. 1t may not be directly in our
power as philauthropists to elevate
the European laborers, but it will be
lasting stigma upon our statesman
ship, if we permit the American Ia
borer to be forced down to the Euro
pean level And in the end the re-
wards of labor everywhere will be
advanced. if we steadily refuse to
lower the standard at home
