commonly known as Dawsons. The advan-
tages OF this pointhas been known for some
time. 1t is on, the Great Military Road from
Fort Leavenworth to Fort Riley, and on the
nearest and best route. There is an abundance
of timber, good water, and building materials
adjoining the town site, also some Of the best
specimens of coal have been found close By.
There is already good settlement in the neigh
borhood and the county is susceptible OF q
dense and heavy population. This place Is
about Is miles from Leavenworth, on as beau
tiful site as the eye ever rested on. This
point seems by nature to have been selected as
the spot where large and houfishing town
must spring up. Already numbers OF persons
have spoken to buy lots and shares. As soon
as the survey of the town is made lots will be
offered for sale, due notice of which viii be
