Hon. j. M. Thurston'a Observation.
Omaha Republican.
The Hon. John NJ. Thurston has just returned
from Indiana. where he made q few political
speeches, and had an excellent opportunity to
ascertain inside information regarding the cam
paign. Said he: Judging from the outlook, /
should predict that Harrison's majority in the
State will not be less than 10. 900. 1t is an
actual fact that from Michigan to the Ohio river
in every township and school district there are
from one to half q dozen and sometimes more,
stanch old Democrats who have come out
squarely and honestly ana are supporting Gen-
eral Harrison. The Republicans have received
great accessions to their ranks in every manu-
featuring community aud the question OF State
pride is going to win more votes than most peo-
pie suppose. The Democratic attempts to in
jure General Harrison among laboring men with
false reports about his connection with
the 1877 strike have in every. case
reacted upon them and made votes for him. l

Abrams Again Refuted.

E. c. Atkins IL Co. have sent to the Journal
another communication regarding the charges OF
the Sentinel that they were conducting their
establishment on . political instead Of . bust
ness basis. When asked concerning the addi-
tional affidavit made by his ex-foreman. r. l..
Abrams, as published in yesterdays Sentinel,
Mr.. Atkins said last night: have been un-
able to discover wherein Mr.. Abrams has APP
preached any nearer to the truth in his last
affidavit, and therefore do not consider it worthy
of being further noticed" The communication
to the Journal regarding the Sentinels charges
is as follows:
10 the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
In an interview with the editor of the Sentinel on
whether we had discharged q Republican during the
campaign. At that time we could not certify TO the
facts, not having the names or politics of the men in
mind. On looking up the matter we ind that III one
department where we had three men employed. two
Republicans had been discharged and the Democrat
retained, and we hand you the certificate OF the Demo
cratic employe, certifying to the facts fthe case. We
respectfully request that you would. in publishing this
affidavit, mention the fact that the gentlemen, Helm
and Narkus, mentioned in Mr.. VILLAGES affidavit, and
also the gentlemen, Doherty aud Wooden. mentioned
in the affidavit of Abrams, were laid off in consequence
of the fact shat in their department we could not con-
veniently keep them employed; but they are liable to
be called on at any time should our business justify
their employment.
We are of the opinion that il Mr.. Abrams was
on the witnessstand and interrogsted by an attorney
as follows:
Q.-At the time you made your contract with Mr..
Atkins did you not demand 81 900 per year for your
servicesi
Odd not Mr.. Atkins reply, THE business will
not Justify Us in paying that sum: but l take the re-
sponsibiiity of saying that we will pay you 5000 per
year. and if our business viii justify or shall be better
than we anticipate l will make up the o.her S1OOf'
Odd not Mr.. Atkins say that 5000 per annum
would be equivalent 10 nearly So per day, which was
good wagssf
throw some light on the question, enabling the public
to easily discern the facts which are concealed in Mr..
Abrams's affidavit, and we trust that the suggestion
of these questions may refresh his memory on that
subject. Yours truly. E.. @. ATKINS < Co.

GENERAL.

All things considered, the William
ette valley has the best country in
the world, and Marion county Is
about centerally located therein.
To those seeking homes in the west,
no better opportunities can be
offered, than are found here. Persons
desiring information regarding
Marion county or the Willamette
valley, those wanting farming
lands, stock farms, business property
or city residences, will be promptly
and reliably informed by addressing
the wen known Arm Of Willis A
Chamberlin, real estate agents,
opera house block, Salem, Oregon.
Evening capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1888-1893, 1888-04-16
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.

LANDS AND HOMES.

Marion county is situated in the
heart of the magnificent Willamette
valley, the central gem i'm 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 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 OveTcrowded 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 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 a truthful description of a
land which, if it does not "tlow
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.
Evening capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1888-1893, 1888-04-16
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 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 it's 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.

The Mills free trade bill. representing
Cleveland's programme. and approved by
the democratic national convention, at St.
Louis, declares for:
Free trade in lumber, which we produce
to the value of $500. 900, 600 annually.
Free trade in wool, Of which we produce
over 800, 900, 900 pounds annually.
Free trade in salt, of which we produce
nearly 40. .000, 900 bushels annually.
Free trade In fax. hemp, iute and other
fibers.
Free trade in cement, potash, lime and
brick,
Free trade in meats, game and poultry.
Free trade in vegetables, peas and beans.
Free trade In marble and stone.
Free trade in tin plates, which would de-
stroy the sheet iron industries.
Free trade in at least 100 other articles
produced in this country, most of which
would be produced in sufficient quantities
for home consumption If properly pro-
tected.
This represents about all there Is in the
democratic platform. The substance of the
