TlHETown of Delawar. is situated in gan-
L sas territory, on the south side of t.1s ~ is
souri, river, three miles above the line t. ;
Delaware reserve, and ten miles below Le. ye

IN February last, on tract Of land densejy tiE
bered. easy of access from the s;Irr iridin,
country and situated favoraby for healtn al
ready there are number OF houses going VI
1t has the following reso,cces Us a good aud
prominent point:
Firs.Ey-.A Good E.aHdiD=.
The Missouri river at this point is &C, Epress-
ed within narrow space, the chanE< 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.
Sccondsy-TiEnbe ia Abundance
he 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
timbered with oak, ash and walnut.
TEfrd.y-7ss 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 fertil. bot
tom, teemng with population. This bottom ia
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 num-
Der of towns on the Kansas that will find it to
their interest to make this place their shipping
point, among them would name OsaIv,ee.-
Calhoun and others AS there is a good ferry
at this point, eInigrants travelling TO Kansas Ter
ritory Oh the great State road from St. Joseph
TO St Louis, vii! ind that this is the proDer
point at which to enter the territory as by this
means they avoid great deal OF unnecessary
travel.
Health. -, -.E4.v
This location is high and commanding. hay-
ing no stagnant water near to generate disease
from it's streets, there is presented TO the eve
spentlid view of the Missouri river for miles
above and below the town, the country in the
vicinity presenting view at once piedsin. and
romantic.
Every indueemert vii! be given TO mechanics
to make Delaware the place of their choice 4
We ask each person to examine the pace The
merchant viii find on an examination, that
Delaware is obliged TO command trade not
second to any town III the Territory; from such
word we ask for Delaware an examination BY
the public.
