KANSAS TERRITORY.

TNHIS new and beautiful Town site is situa-
l. ted on the Missouri River, in Kansas Terri
tory, three or four miles above the town of Ia
tan, in the heart of the most densely populated
part of Kansas, sorrounded by the finest soil
and best timber in that Territory, with per-
manent landing, commanding a view of the riv-
er for several miles above and below. The
principal part of said Town is located on bed
of stone coal, of the best quality. Arrange
ments are being made to have said stone coal
bed opened and wrought by Joint Stock Com
pany early in the spring, at which time there
will be a sale of lots. There is now, in course
of erection, good steam Saw Mill, which will
be in successful operation in few weeks; also.
a large and commodious Tavern is in process of
erection which viii be opened for the accom-
modation of the public in a short time.
Persons wishing to procure Lots Immediate
ly will have opportunity of so doing, by call
ing on Henry Brady, or Jonathan Hartman,
both of whom are authorized Agents to sell
and dispose of lots, and one or both NAV at all
times be found on the premises, ready to ac-
commodate purchasers upon the most liberal
terms.

HSAwKEE, Kansas Territory, is pleasant
~ lY situated the eastern bank of the
Grashopper river, decidedly the prettiest stream
west of the Mssippi) at the crossing of the
Great Military and Emigrant thoroughfare from
Fort Leavenworth via Fort Riley to New Mex
leo, Oregon, California, &C., &C., on beauti-
full and gently undulating tract of ground, and
nearly the centre of what must, from its fertili-
ty and supply of timber, become one of the most
delightful and prosperous valleys of Kansas
Territory; and, from its central position, must
be the county seat of one of the second tier of
counties, being 33 miles from the Missouri RI
yer.
The Grasshopper, though it does not traverse
so many miles in direct line as some other
streams in Kansas, meanders so frequently that
its length is more than double of its straight
course to Kansas river, into which it empties
about ten miles from the town, thereby making
large bottoms, elegantly interspersed with tim
ber and prairie, which is high and dry, and OF
the most fertile soil.
There are numerous branches entering into tn e
main stream in the immediate neighborhood Of
the town, all of which are we'll wooded, afford
ing the means for the settlement and fencing of
the upland prairie, which is rich and beautiful.
In short, there is not in the Territory tract of
country, of the same extent, possessing as great
inducements for the Agriculturist, Mechanic
and Manufactures, as the valley of the Grass
hopper. 1t must, therefore, at an early day be-
come densely populated, and sustain thriving
and business town so elesibly situated in all
respects as Osawlee. A SaW-Inill is now in
operation, Smithy will be in few days-a
brick maker on hand, and other arrangements
for improvement early in the Spring. A public
sale of Lots will take place in the Town on
wednesday, April 4tll, 1855.
