THE Town OF Delaware is situated IN Kan
Il sas territory, on the south side of the Mis-
souri, river, three miles above the line of the
Delaware reserve and ten miles below Leaven-
worth city. This town was laid off and located
in February last, on tract of land densely tim
bered, easy of access from the surrounding
country and situated favoTEbly for health ale
ready there are number of houses going up.
1t has the following resources as good and
prominent point:
FirstEy-A Good Landing. 81
The Missouri river at thisp point is compress
ed within narrow space, the channel is re-
markably deep on the Delaware side, and wash-
es for mile above and below, the Kansas shore,
thus affording at all times a safe and secure
landing for steamers s5 - b
SeCondiy-TiEnb in Abundance
The tract of land on which the town is laid
ing purposes. besides this, there is on the oppo-
site side of the river a large bottom, heavily
| imbered with oak, ash and walnut. -
Thirl1y-Ets Position.
This town has on the Kansas side of the riv-
supporting it, large district of the very best
lands in the Territory, while on the opposite
side of the river there is large and fertile bot
tom. teeming with population. This bottom is
of itself sufficient to sustain town of large
size. This is the most accessible point from
which the Delaware nation of Indians can pro-
cure their supplies. Delaware is the nearest
on the Kansas river can do their receiving ar d
Forwarding business. There are great num-
Der of towns the Kansas that will find it to
their interest TO make this place their shipping
point, among them we would name Osawkee,
Calhoun and others. AS there is good ferry
at this point. emgrants travelling to Kansas Ter
ritory on the great State road from st. Joseph
to st. Louis, will find that this is the proper
point at which to enter the territory. as by this
means they avoid great deal of unnecessary
| travel. ast a#s

| This location is high and commanding. hav-
| Ing no stagnant water near TO generate disease
from its streets. there is presented to the eve
| speldid view of the Missouri river for miles
| above and below the town, the country in the
! vicinity presenting view at once pleasing and
romantic. ...
| Every inducement will be given to mechanic.
| to make Delaware the place of their choice.
/ We ask each person to examine the place. The
merchant will find on an examination. that
| Delaware is obliged to command trade not
| second to any town in the Territory; from such
persons we ask an examination. In a word
word we ask for Delaware an examination By

TENHIS FERRY has been in successful oper-
4 alton since 1919; during which time it has
been the great crossing point for the Oregon,
California and Utah Enigrant who came by
Hannibal and Palmyra; there being State Road
directly through, and the latitude precisely the
same. Our boat is good one, and have
plenty of hands engaged at all times, to work it.
Gf5 At the opening OF Spring We shall have
fine new
STE.4.1T FERRY BO.HT,
when all can cross without detention. The
ferry landing is the best on tle River, there be-
ing at al tines deep water from shore to shore,
and very harrow. Our banks have wide
sand beach where stock miro down, being
dry at all times.
To the Emigrant to Kansas we say, this is
the place to cross, as when here the distance
to other points in the Territory, is nearer than
from crossing places above or below.
