We often hear it stated that man
is not responsible for what he does
not know. The law presupposes
knowledge and therefore conviCts the
man who excuses crime by ignorance
IL had only known" has often
oeen an unfortunate mans apology
Tor some evil unknowingly wrought,
but IN a matter of general interest
as for instance that laudanum is a
poison, that naphtba is deadly ex-
plosive, that blood heavily charged
with winters accumulations of the
waste OF the system, it is ones duty
TO Know the fact and the Conse-
quences thereof. Our good old grand
mothers knew for instance, that the
opening of spring was the most
peTllous period of the year.
Why?
Because then the blood stream is
sluggish and chilled by the cold
weather, and if not thinned good
deal and made to flow quickly and
healthiully through the arteries and
veins, it is impossible to have good
vigor the rest of the year. Hence,
without exception. what is now
known as Warmers Log Cabin Sarsa-
parllla, was plentifully made and
rellgiously given to every member of
the family regularly through March,
April, May and June. 1t is a matter
OF record that this prudential, pre-
ventive and restorative custom saved
many fit of sickness, prolonged life
and happiness to a vigorous old age,
and did away with heavy medical
expenditures.
Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexington.
KY, used Warmers Log Cabin Sarsa-
parlla 'for nervous sick headache of
which | had been asuferer for years.
1t has been a great benefit to me-"
Capt. Hugh Harkins, lila S. 10Th
St., Philadelphia, Pa, says "it
purified my blood and removed the
blotches from my skin" Mrs. Aarea
Smith, Topton, Berks Co., Pa, saws
she "was entirely cured of skin dis
ease OF the worst kind, by Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla. Bad skin indicates a
very bad condition of the blood.
If you would live and be we'll, 90 to
your druggist to-day and get Warmers
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla and take no
other,-there's nothing like it or as
good, and completely renovate
your impaired system with this
simple, old-fashioned preparation of
roots and herbs.
Warner, who makes the famous
Safe Cure, puts it up, and that is
guarantee of excellence all over the
known world. Take it yourself and
give it to the other members of the
family, including the children. You
will be astonished at its health-giv-
ing and lifeprolonging powers. We
say this editorially with perfect conf
dence, because we have heard good
things of it everywhere, and its name
is guarantee that it is first class in
every particular.

street to a point opposite the depot
on 18th street, where the railroad
company agree to join with walk
to the depot. This has been de

railroad company agrees to erect a

people of Salem want it,n it seems
they might come up and construct a

GREAT ADVANTAGES.

A decided advantage Marion coun-
ty has over many others is the di-
versified farming interest that can
be carried on throught the entire
year; Notwithstanding this is 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.

LANDS AND HOMES.

Marion county is situated in the
heart 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 90 to-
wards making it a profitable abiding
| place, and a home for the thrifty
farmer, 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
climate unsurpassed for its salubrity,
it presents to the immigrant from
the OveTcrowded 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
prehend, 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
immigrants within its borders, but
only as a truthful description of
land which, if it does not ''flOw
milk and honey" contains within
its bosom wealth and resources equal
to any other country on the Pacific
side of the Rocky mountains.
BOUNDARIES.
Marion county is bounded on the
north by the Willamette river and
Butte creek which separates it from
Clackamas county; on the east by
Clackamas county and the Cascade
mountains, which separate it from
Wasco county; on the south by the
Santiam river and the north fork of
the Santiam, separating it from
Linn county, and on the west by the
Willamette river.
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 tif-
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
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, thus enabling them to sur
Vive the winter storms with little
care.

GENERAL.

All things considered, the William

The Arkansaw traveler., 1888-02-04

aware that this plain, unvarnished tale does not agree with those told by my fellow geniuses in the unfenced field of literature, but it is true, and truth and Bill Nye have never been strangers. As for what you flatter- ingly term my humor I will only say that it is not carved out with a hatchet nor uplifted with a crowbar. It simply bubbles-not a soapsud, puncturable bubble but the real spring-like, gurgling bubble that wells up from heart overfowing with innocence and guilelessness. That is the sort of humorist l am. But as l intimated before, neither the bored nor the world can afford to have my tribe increase"
 Let me add to this what Mir. Nye's modesty would not permit him to say that he is good fellow, jolly fel- low, and one who will never "lose his friend for jest," and thus "deserve to die beggar by the bargain"

Facts Worth Knowing.

In all diseases of the nasal mucous membrane the remedy used must be non-irritating. The medical profess sion has been slow to learn this. Noth- ing satisfactory can be accomplished with douches, snuffs, powders, syr- inges, astringents, or any similar ap- plication, because they are all irritat- ing, do not thoroughly reach the af- fected surfaces, and should be aban- doned as worse than failures. A null titude of persons who have for years borne all the worry and pain that ca tarrh can inflict, testify to radical and permanent cures wrought by Ely's Cream Balm.
