LANDS and HOMES.
In the Garden Spot of the
great Northwest.
Fertility Of Soil Salubrity Of Climate, Whole.
some Water, Excellent Timber aud
Delightful SCeuery-Health,
Wealth, Prosperity.

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 go to-
wards making it Il 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 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 in Oregon possesses.
Much has been written of this
western country that requires n
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 truthful description of Il
land which, if it does not "flow
milk and honey" contains within
it's 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 5000 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, W
through all the grades of rolling,
hilly and broken, to that Of rock
bound canyons and inaccessible
craggy peaks. tbs 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.

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
wear; 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-
duired 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 thes 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 cam 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, stu
ated on the Willamette river-and
on the o. & 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 will
compare favorably with older and
larger cities.

BASEBALL RUMORS.
Some of Them Are Startling, but None of
Them Are Well Authenticated.

There were some surprising baseball rumors
the streets yesterdays result perhaps of
the blizzard One of them was that Glasscock
was to be exchanged along with q certain
amount of gold for Messrs. Clarkson and Will
hanson, OF the Chicago Club. President Brush
and Manager Spence regard the rumor in
very serious light. as it would be of great i'm
portance to them if 1t proved to be true. John
r. Martin, who acted as spokesman for them in
the matter admitted to members OF the press
that the report was true with the exception that
Spalding to be exchanged along with Will
hanson and Clarkson.
Another report was that Jim" White sr OF
the Detroits. who is announced TO have retired
from base ball, WAS being negotiated with by
Manager Spence on the theory that White de-
sired TO retire, not from baseball, but from De-
troit and might be induced to spend his declin-
ing years as member OF the indianapolis club
The report sent out from Detroit by the Asso-
ciated Press follows:
"a baseball sensation was caused to-day by
the positive announcement from Deacon Jim
White, the third haseman of the Detroit club,
that he bad determined to retire from the dia-
mond. White was one of the Big Four pur-
chased from Buffalo. The Detroit champions
say that they weakened irreparably by
Whites secession Nothing will change the
Deacon's determination"
This has become annual edict from White.
who has been talking of leaving the profession
for years. What gives the story some credence.
however, 10 the tact that be and Manager w at
kins had decided falling out last season, and
with q man of Whites disposition that is q SER
ious matter. IL is quite probable that White will
not play in Detroit under Watkins but
the question is whether he would not
go 20 some other club. In this connection In
dianapoi:ans will naturally exciaim, There is
the I'LL our gap at first base and per-
haps the management think the same thing but
they deny having made any negotiations looking
toward Whites engagement The latter is
splendid first baseman-one Of the best in the
eountry-and would make grand man for In
1T all probable.
Still another rumor came from the southeast.
It 10 the eject that Earkley was to be
secured from Pittsburg because he was recon-
needed by Glasscock, who Las been in the gym
nasium with him all winter. None of the re-
ports appeared 70 do a@y harm. aud the atten-
ton of tho public was not called to them.
