TNHErosn OF Delaware is situated IN Kan
L territory, on the south side of s,.e his
souri, river, three miles above the line CT II J
Delaware reserve, and ten miles below Leave :
worth city. Tnis town was laid off and iocatS J
IN February last, on tract of land denselv TIM
bered, easy of access IRON the surrounding
country and situated favorabiy for health: al
ready there are number of houses going up.
II has the following resources as good aud
prominent point:
FirstEy-A Coed Landing.
The Missouri river at this point is compress
ed within narrow space, tbs channel is re-
markably deep on the Delaware side, and wash
es for mile above and below, the Kansas shore.
thus afferding at all times a safe and secure
landing for steamers.
SecOnd1y-TiENbe in Abundance
The tract of land on which the town is laid
out, is covered with valuable timber, for build
ing purposes. besides this, there is on the oppo-
site side of the river a large bottom, heavily
tinabered with oak, ash and walnut
THirdEy-Ets- Position.
This town has on the Kansas siue of the riy-
er 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
and most accessible point at which the country
on the Kansas river can do their receiving and
forwarding business. There are great mum
Der OF towns on the Kansas that will find it to
their interest to make this place their shipping
point, among them we would name Osaskee
Calhoun and others. As there is good ferry
at this point, emigrants 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 a great deal of unnecessary
travel.
Health.
This location is high and commanding. hav-
ing no stagnant water near to generate disease
from its streets, there is presented to the eve a
spendid 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 mechanics
to make Delaware the place OF their choice.
We ask each person to examine the place. The
| merchant will find an examination, that
Delaware is obliged TO command trade not
second to any town III the Territory from such
persons ask an examination. In word.
word we ask for Delaware an examination by
the public.
