| The superior claims of Leavenworth In
point of the eligibility Of location, at once
strikes every one who takes view Of its
situation. Besides it is a central point in the
very heart of the best portion of the Kansas
Territory The country back Of it will ad-
NIT ofa very dense population, and soon its
rich and fertile lands will be brought into a
high state of cultivation. The trade of a.
large section of country must of necessity
trade at this point because tits the most
convenient and easy of access. Here will
be the starting point of traders and emf
grants for California, Utah, and new Mex
leo. From the Fort, only two miles above
here, good roads are now opened to all
these points, and thousands every year pass
over them. So soon then as accommoda-
tions can be furnished at this place and cap
italists come in as they assuredly will, with
large outftting goods, Leavenworth must
command great portion of this trade. Bu-
siness men almost every day are coming
here seeking a location. inducements
should be held out to all such, by the pro-
prietors of the town, and lots or shares off
cred or sold to them on liberal terms. Hou-
ses should be built for rent, so that persons
among us, would not have to go elsewhere
for want of place for their families. BY
SO doing they would increase the value OF
real estate, and realise good profits. Ii
large Hotel was built, on mammoth scale,
by joint stock company, it would besides
paying well, do asmuch as every thing else
to build up our town. We already have
good Hotel, to which large additions are
making, and in the spring still greater i'm
provements will be made, yet the proprie-
tors will not be enabled to do any thing Like
half the business. Our town is going ahead,
its business must and will increase rapidly,
and it becomes our property holders to do
every thing they can to forward its onward
progress. - 5I. fI5a. - -
