FTyHEToxn OF Delaware il situated in Kan.
4 sas territory, on the south side Of the Mis-
souri, river. three miles above the line of tas
Delaware reserye, and ten miles below LeaFsn-
worth city. This town was laid of and located
in February last. on a tract of land densely tim
bered, easy of access from the surrounding
country and situated favorably for health: al
ready there are number of houses going up.
1t has the following resources as good and
prominent point;
Eirstly-A Good Landing.
The Missouri river At this 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 afording at all times safe and secure
landing for steamers
Secondly-Timber IA Abundance
The tract OF land on which the town is laid
ont, is covered with valuable timber. for build
ing purposes, besides this, there is on the oppo-
site side OF the river large bottom, heavily
timbered with oak, ash and walnut.
Thirdfy-Its Posit iti0n.
This town has on the Kansas side of the riv-
er supporting it. large district OF the rery best
lands In the Territory, while on the opposite
side Of the river there is large and fertile bot
tom, teeming with population. This bottcsn is
of itself sufficient 70 sustain town ef large
size. This is the most accessible point from
which the Delaware nation Of Indians can pro-
cure their supplies. Delaware is the nearest
and most accessible point at which the country
forwarding business. There are = great num-
Der of towns on the Kansas that will find Il to
their interest to make this place their shipping
point, among them We woah name Osawkee,
Calhoun and others, As there is a good ferry
at this point, en1igrants travelling Kansas Ter
ritory on the great State road from st. Joseph
to st. Louis, will find that this is the prorer
point at which to enter the territory, as by this
means they avoid a great deal of unnecessary
travel.
Health.
This location is high and commanding. hSv-
ing no stagnant water near to generate disease
from its streets, there is presented to the eve
spendid view of the Missouri river for miles
above and below the town, the country Ia the
vicinity presenting view at once pleasing and
romantic.
Every inducement will BE- given to mechanics
| to make Delaware the place Of their choice.
We ask each person to examine the pace. The
merchant will find on an examination, that
Delaware is obliged to command trade not
