Rrsat pestruction Of Timber.

The Oregonian says Mr.. j. Nj.
Bernhardt, special timber agent,
who has for some time been inspect
inc timber land in TillamOOk coun-
tv. arrived in Portland Tuesday.
He came across the mountains on
horseback, and reports the road free
from snow except about fifty feet in
one place, but there are number of
trees across the track, which is still
very muddy, and no attempt will
be made to cross with wagons for six
weeks yet. Mr.. Bernhardt was
much surprised to see the great
ravages which have been committed
by fire in timber of the Coast range.
He explored seven townships of
timber on the Trask and Wilson
rivers, and from the top of the range
looked away across miles and miles
of charred stumps reaching clear to
the Nestucca. He was told by an
old settler that on account of a
quarrel between two men twenty
five years ago, about some rails
which one had cut and which the
other claimed were split too small,
the rails were set on fire and they
set the forest on fire, and the out
come was that four townships or 144
square miles of timber was destroy

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 particularly those
who have their eyes directed towards
this coast-tO peruse it carefully,
feeling that it is not written to lure
immigrants within it's borders, but
only as a truthful description of Il
land which, if it does not "f1ow
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 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 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.
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.
