PHYsIoAL 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, 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. 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.

great Northwest.

some Water, Excellent Timber and
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 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 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 fall-particularly those
who have their eyes directed towards
this coast-to peruse it carefully,
feeling chat it is not written to lure
immigrants within it's borders, but
only as truthful description of a
land which, if it does not "fiow
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
Clackanas county and the Cascade
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.

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 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

county seat of Marion 69unty, altu-

The Convent,

Into what darkness and dreariness OF
epochs and ages, Of minds and OF souls,
the convent throws 1t salutary, beaming
light! What marvels it mas worked in
the development and Improvement Of
the human race! The convent was the
sacred vessel which collected the dews
from heaven, and poured them out
upon the earth in pure and healthy
streams; it vas the foundation which
sprang from life dedicated to God, and
its sparkling currents called down a
blessing upon the earth. It promoted
the material, the mental, and spiritual
welfare of mankind. In the present
age people think they perform miracles
when they further either of these inter-
ests. The convent took allin itself-its
various orders took all a handI They
cultivated the barren soil and made the
desert land put forth it's fruit, they
directed the thirst for knowledge, which
urges forward the daring human spirit
to it's proper end; they guided the ini-
pulses of the soul, and led her either to
the fulilment Of her duty in the active
life which was sanctifed by the exercise
of the works Of mercy, or they provided
for her the peaceful retirement of the
silent cell for contemplation and devo-
ton. They did all, they answered all
purposes; they understood all, and sup
piled the necessities of all. On the long
ladder which the innumerable wants of
man have raised, there is not step on

ONLY a Little Medal

CHANGING QUO day to ask q Catholi,
lady of my acquaintance, the circum
stances Of her conversion from Protes
tantis,n, she gave me the following par
ticulars:
She had been member of the Church
OF ENGLAND, and not very long married
when she and her husband commenced
housekeeping i'll London. The house
into which they moved had been left
neat and clean by the outgoing tenants,
but ON the floor of one of the upper
rocrns HRS. e. discovered a Catholic
missal for the use Of the laity, and a
small medal of the Immaculate Concep.
tion. the book she gave to her parlor
maid, who was Catholic; the medal,
following some unaccountable impulse,
she attached to her watch chain.
MOI long afterwards it CHANGED that
her husband, VIII G in the recesses OF an
Indian bungalow had many talk On
Catholic doctrine with pious son OF
the Church, began to feel little I'M
comfortable over the fact Of his never
hayipg been baptized-haying been
born into a sect which disallowed in
tant baptism. Following out the idea,
and fully accepting the all-importance
Of the Sacrament, he became convinced
that as he had never been baptized, his
marriage Was not legal from Christian
point Of view. Utterly disgusted with
the laxitY Of the sects IN such matters,
and emembering the truths expounded
by his friend III India, he turned his
steps in the direction Of residence Of
the Jesuit Fathers, from one Of whom
he solicited instruction in the Catholic
religion.
Naturally he felt somewhat shy of
broaching the subject to his wife. In
agine then, his Joy when she told him
that she had for some time been attract
ed to the Catholic Church, and wished
to enter its fold. The good Jesuit
Father had the happiness of receiving
two very earnest converts in the course
or the following year; and the little
medal, to which Mrs. B. attributes the
grace Of her conversion, still holds the
place of honor among the trinkets of
her atch-chain.-Ave Maria.
