The Plans of the Democrats.


One well MP in political methods remarked
yesterday: al have every reason to believe that
sne Democrats intend to attempt to carry Ma
rion county. if not the entire State, by fraud
this year. They not only expect to buy'votes
outright, but they intend to have a great deal of
done. 1 believe they have managed
at least one thousand illegal votes in the State
in past elections, and they are preparing 30 do
the same thing this year. If not. why are they
having SO many secret caucuses, and keeping 60
quiet! There is q large number of unscrrpu-
lous Democrats here who thoroughly understand
the manner of controlling illegal voting. End
they are In frequent consultation. They get in
the illegal votes by having fictitious names put
on the challenging books. A large number Of
men are posted and when the mon taking
the names OF voters come around they are
given names of those who have been
dead many years or never existed. But few
poll-takers can or do see every voter in the ward.
They generally 60 to a man who WINS or rents .
block and from him get the names of all the
voters of whom he has knowledge. Now, q
score or Democratic property-holders can each
give two or three fictitious names. and when
election day comes the names appear on tho
books Of both the Democratic challeneers. When
the Republicans protest there Is always some
body ready TO swear the vote 10. The arrange
ment is to have q number Of repeaters, who,
after voting where their residence 10, generally
outside the city, come In and vote under the
fictitious names recorded in the challeneers'
several wards before they are detected. This is
only one plan. / feel confident. the Democrats
have mapped out. and they undoubtedly have
others equally as shrewd."

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.

LANDN Anu 1UMIN,
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
prinCelN 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 Il home for the thrifty
farmer, the cunning artisan and the
industrious mechanic.
Rich i'm 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
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 that it is not written to lure
immigrants within its borders, but
only as truthful description of
land which, if it does not "flow
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 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, q 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.
Evening capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1888-1893, 1888-04-19
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.

The Arrow Creek Hill.

Mr.. John Scott went out last Saturday
his wagon loaded with supplies, and also
with plows and scrapers which will be
used in putting the Arrow creek hill in
first-class condition for the wool season.
The road on both sides Of the creek will
be thoroughly worked and bridged across
sloughs and bitches wherever necessary.
Mr.. VIM. Fergus has the contract for
doing the work and will commence it i'm
mediately and have it ia apple pie order
long before the wool begins to move.
Arrow creek now has an excellent and
substantial pile bridge that has stood the
test Of spring break-ups and the highest
water ever known in that stream.
Freighters can now rest assured that the
Arrow creek road will present no diff
culties whatever to the heaviest loaded
teams.

Weighing Live Stock.


CHICAGO, May 81. : The Livestock
Weighing association met to-day to con
slider the question Of establishing rates
per hundred pounds on live stock. After
some discussion the matter was referred
to the freight agents of the interested
roads, who were constituted committee
to meet June 9Th and prepare tariffs by
the hundred pounds, minimum weights to
be applied according to the different
lengths of cars on basis Of the present
tariffs by the car load and the weights as
shown by Supt Carmans weighing from
December 20 to date. Chairmen Midgley
and Faithorn and Supt. Carman were also

sHERIDAN's CONDITION.
He Almost Passes to the other Shore but is
Revived and Resting Easier.

| WASHINGTON, June AT o'clock all
the doctors were hastily summoned to
Gen. Sheridan's bedside, as we'll as Faith
or Chappelle. The general had another
attack of heart failure as we'll as a severe
hemorrhage. The blood elected from his
mouth was black and clotted Oxygen
was administered and about $50 he ral-
lied and was reported slightly easier. Up
to 10 p m. no change was reported in the
generals condition Gen. Sheridan is "
ing weak and exhausted and in comatose
condition, and has only rallied very feebly
from the attack which nearly caused his
death. The hemorrhage which preceded
the attack Of heart failure came from the
lungs, but was noG accompanied by cough
ing, and the recurrence of failure followed
closely on the hemorrhage. The pulse
beat feebly and the breathing grew ex-
ceedingly labored and heavy. A galvanic
battery was applied to the neck and back,
and at last the patient was brought from
the verge of the grave to consciousness
again. He lay back exhausted and every
one in the room remained anxiously wait

The Cree indians.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The speaker to-
day laid before the house communica-
tion from the secretary of the interior
containing a request from the commits
sioner of Indian affairs that the band of
Cree indians now located at Fort Assinni-
boine, Mont, be allowed to go to the Fort
Belknap agency, Mont, for settlement
In October, 1885, information was received
that these Indians, numbering 187, had
crossed the international boundary line
and were located near the Fort Belknap
agency. They had in their possession
the character of which clearly
indicated that they had been engaged in
the Riel rebellion. Application was made
to the department Of state for their re-
turn, but it was not granted. The com
officer in his report urged that
some disposition be made of these In
dams, and the secretary says he thinks
action should be taken with
out delay to enable the department to
deal with the problem. He especially
