GREAT ADVANTAGES.

A decided advantage Marion cOun-
ty has over many others Is the Ill
Versified farming interest that can
be carried on throught the entire
wear; Notwithstanding this is IA 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
he found i'm the United States than
that on the noted Howell prairie,
French prairie, Santiam prairie ana
Salem prairie. The soil of these are
wonderfully productive. With good
cultivation, forty bushels of wheat
and sixty of oats per acre can De
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 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. 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 favOrably with older and
larger cities.

Lucky John TrimbIe.

Asrors tiiLl Express, Jan. 50.
When the Aurora papers announced
that John Trimble, Of 334 South Broad
way, this city, had been fortunate
enough to draw a tenth share in the
S5O,O prize Of the Louisiana State
Lottery, 1t was not generally believed,
but this same John Trimble Is probably
to-day the most cOntented man in AFRO
IA, for he has in the bank the snug little
sum Of -, 995, the profits of his invest
ment in the lottery. The remaining IS
went for expenses. Mr.. Trimble wac
seen by an Express reporter and &C.
knowledged that he had received a
check for the above amount, and stated
that It was his intention TO use the
money IN his new business, he having
lately purchased the cut stone business
Of Isaac Edwards.
The lucky ticket which drew the $780,
600 prize MAS number 70, 1856. Mr.. Trim
bic had teuth interest in this ticket
for which he paid one dollar. He took
his good luck very c0olly and philo-
sophically. This Is not the first time
tlat be has patronized the lottery, but
although he has never before drawn O
very large amount, he claims that what
he received before his big haul paid
back All the tickets had cost him.
