BOUNDARIES,
PHYSICAL FoRMATIoN.

The county contains, including
valley, prairie and mountain lands,
about 800, 900 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 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 It is generally heavily
timbered, and in the near future
will be valuable for it's lumber sup
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 frOsts of autumn approach,
the stock are brought out to fresh
pastures, thus enabling them to sur
vive the winter storms with little
care.

Delightful scenery-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 a profitable abiding
place, and a home for the thrifty
farmer, the cunning artisan and the
industrious mechanic.
Rich In it's agricultural resources,
in it's cultivated and uncultivated
lands, in its water powers, and
minerals; rich in its colleges and
schools of learning, and with a
climate eunsurpassed 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 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 it's present
and prospective advantages, asking
those in the east into whose hands
this may falI-particularly those
who have their eyes directed dtowards
this cOast-to peruse it carefully,
feeling that it Is not written to lure
immigrants within, It's borders, but
only as truthful description of a
land which, if It does not "tiow
milk and hOney,n 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 1t from
Linn cOl1nty5andlon the west by, the
Willamette river.

GREAT ADVANTAGES.

A decided advantage Marion coun-
ty has over many others is the di-
versifed farming interest that can
be carried on throught the entire
year; notwithstanding this is q wet
climate. during the winter months,
the uplands are seldom toe. 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.

Holding to Old Usaees.

1t seems somewhat strange that the
usages OF a semi ar barous people, as
the English people were when the com.
mon law was evolved, are all abandon.
ed except those that pertain to tine
administration of justice. An English
paper, In calling attention to the cir
cumstance that judges in that coun.
try still wear wigs in trying cases, says
that it furnishes evidence that there
is less progress in law than in any
pursuit to which men OF intelligence
and learning devote themselves. A
hundred years ago the members OF all
professions wore wigs, but they are
never seen now outside court room.
Our Judges do not wear wigs, but they
hold fast to practices that have long
been abandoned in Great Britain.
Trials here are much longer than
there, and many more appeals to
higher courts are taken. English
courts, it is said, are now not only
selt-sustaining, but sources OF revenue,
while the maintenance OF our courts
imposes a heavy burden on the peoe

An Ancient Underground Chanel.

An interesting discovery has been made
in an old Spanish mine of the property of
the COrralitos cattle and mining company,
on the Casca Grande river in northern
Chihuahua, an immense estate belonging
to Ell Paso anu New York parties The
mine is called the San Pedro, and there
is en- it an old incline going into the noun
tain at an angle OF forty five degrees. and
evidently following the richest ore streak
in zig gag manner. At the end of this
incline subterranean chamber was found.
which had been fashioned evidently with
great labor and trouble into regular
Catholic chapel. The chamber is some
thirty feet high. Serts have been cut
from the solid rock running all around
the chapel, and SO have an altar and a
pulpit. The whole was found neatly
WhiteWashed, and presented a peculiar
and Wierd aspect. The ancient chapel
could be used at moment S notice as a
place of worship.
The whole country adjacent to the Casa
Grande and Santa Maria rivers is full of
objects OF interest to the arch tologist and
naturalist. Prehistoric ruins are found
everywhere, many of them clearly tracea-
lie to the Aztecs, but others evidently
ante-date any authentic records of history.

Our Royal Ancestors.

From the London Queen.
The number OF families in the United
States who can claim royal descent is
so great that a book has lately beer
written ON the subject. The Planta
genets appear to have given rise to 8
larger number OF American families
than any other royal stock; and Ed.
ward III IS credited with half a dozer
or SO, including the families of Wash.
lngton and Cadwalader. A King O.
Munster is tlnswerable for a family Q.
CAROLS, and "the" King of Nor tt
Wales for the Boyds. King James v,
OF Scotland, has numerous represent.
aJives to-day in the states, including,
it appears, the Potts family and that
OF the Jeackles. Even Powhattan,
king ofVirginia, IS made use OF for he
.raldlc purposes, and from him are de-
scended the Mnrrays and Randolphs
and Others. Negro descent from the
many African kings is not included,
which seems like wilfully throwing
away a valuable and extensive source
OF royal pedigree.
