THETown of Delaware is situated ia Kan
u sas territory, on the south side of tie Mis-
souri, river, three miles above the line OF tP9
Delaware reserve, and ten miles below LeavaS
worth city. This town was laid off and iecats
in February last, on q 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 3 good and
prominent point:
Firstly-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 affordlng at all times safe and secure
landing for steamers.
The tract of land on which the town is laid
out, is covered with valuable timber, for build
ing purposes, besides this, there is the oppo-
| site side of the river large bottom, heavily
timbered with oak, ash and walnut.
ThirdIy-Its Position.
This town has on the Kansas side 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 pcint 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 we would name OsaWEee.
| 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 great deal of unnecessary
| travel.
| Health.
| This location is high and commanding. hay-
| 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 on an examination, that
Delaware is obliged to command trade moi
second to any town in the Territory; from such
word we ask for Delaware an examination BY
the public.
