viii Ranrm

The Locon has bar on board, and
is selling liquor to some few Of our
townsmen who rush on board as soon
rs she lands at our Leyee, for q drink.
Unless she changes her habits in this
respect, however anxious our people
may be to see a steamer plying rcgu-
larly on the river. they will welcome
her departure with great pleasure
We trust her gentlemanly officers will
see that her bar is closed while In this
port, for very large majority of all
the voters here are opposed to the traf-
fic in spirituous liquors. and will not
willingly countenance places of busi-
ness where it is sold.

suggss.ie n worth Considering.

a friend writes us from Manhattan,
suggesting that it would be well for
every Free State man who was in
the Territory on the first of April. to
get his name registered under the bo-
gus laws. This suggestion is a good
one. and we hope it viii be carried out.
1t costs nothing to get the name en-
tered. It is designed as the basis of
representation, not to determine the
qualification Of voters, as many have
supposed, The act provides that =
every bona fide inhabitant of the
Territory of Kansas, on the third
Monday of June, 1857, being citi-
zen of the United States. over the age
of q years, and who have resided
three months next before the election
in the county in which he offers to
vote, and no other person whatever,
shall be entitled to vote"
All nersons, then, who were here
on the 18th of March will be voters,
whether registered or not. Please
bear this TACT in mind. All persons
should be particular to note the time
of their arrival in the Territory. as
they may have occasion to refer to it.

ant who has settled in the timber, and
viii be glad to supply fuel. &C., at a
fair price. for necessaries. Fuel, in
Lawrence. costs SO cord. It is
hauled from three to eight miles. and
delivered at that price. Farners on
prairie claims can buy at quite as low
"a figure, as it Is rarely that one can be
found who has been able to End a
claim three miles from timber.
Persons without means. as before
stated, who settle upon the prairies.
will find more difficulties to eneoun-
ter; but health and industry, coupled
with economy and good management.
will produce quite as favorable re-
suits. though longer period will be
required to bring them about. Those
who buy their own teams, and do their
own labor-as will be the case with a
very large majority of our readers
viii be able to get along with a thou
sand dollars, or even a less amount.
and will be as far advanced at the end
of the year as he who only superan-
tends his business, with 50, 500 to ex-
pend.
A friend who has had some expert
Ience in Kansas farming, says we have
not made sufficient allowance for bad
management, discouragements, and
the thousand and one unexpected ct
csteras which beSet the pathway of
the Kansas farmer. In short, he says
our theory is good, but it exceeds his
practice. He suggests that we cut
down our figures one half for contin-
gencies, and then thinks it will do to
calculate upon. We have concluded
to compromise with him, and allow a
couple of years longer in which to con-
struct that Paradise, which our aspi-
rations have so ardently coveted, and
which we ultimately hope to see each
of our readers enjoying under the
smiles of Kansas sky.

Delaware Town Company.

Accompany in Lawrence have pur-
chased a portion of the lands contigu-
Gus to Delaware, on the Missouri riv-
er, five miles below I.eayenworth.
and have laid it out into town lots.
The curve in the Missouri river to the
west brings this point several miles
nearer TO Lawrence than any other
place on the Kansas river, as any per-
son can see for himself by glancing at
any correct map of the Territory.
The landing being good at that point,
at all seasons of the year, and the
roads better than from other points we
look for large business to grow up
between that place and the interior
during the present season.

ouerists and Claims.

Our friends In the East seem to have
some queer ideas of Kansas. To IL
lustratc: One man desires us to Sc
cure him from fifty to one hundred a.
cres Of land in " our town" provided
he can get it for mot more than $50
an acre" Another wishes Us to lay
q land warrant for him adjoining the
town site. and so on aa iatfaium.-
Lands ip Lavreuss cannot be bought
by the acre. as it ia cut up by streets
lanes, dc. aRd would he worth many
times what our friend suggests as his
highest price. Again Land war.
rants canpot be located any place in
Kansas until the lands are subject to
.piiyatc entrY. This. it is most prob
able. will he. ,ou the case for several
months yet, and as Cor locating near
Lawrence this would be impossible,
as we have frequently stated that
claims.of every description have been
taken up by elaimaIts for fifteen mile
from Lawrence. We hear of claims
adjoining our town which are held at
$50. 600. True they ere not sold for
that, but il the owners shall hold them
until their titles are perfected We have
no doubt almost any price can be re-
allied from them.
One man who came to this vicinity
two and o half years ago. without mon.
ey. and took up claim near Lawrence.
has repeatedly been offered $4,000 for
it. He refuses this price, choosing to
cut wood to pay the expenses Of sus-
tanning bis family, to selling his claim
at such q low fgure.
Persons who hny claims in Kaasa'
must take possession Of them, and con.
tinae IN possession until their titles
are perfected. which may be months

forests. If it can. Let it be borne in
mind. too. that the inaugural profes-
sions of Frank Pierce were as plausi-
bic and as sincere as those of Mr. Bu-
ehanan, and that too much must not
be expected of one who has been no.
ted for bis lifelong instability of pur.
pose. It may be alleged as a pallfa-
ton for the conduct of Pierce, that
he bowed to the South for the pur-
pose OF securing q reelection, and
that Dir. Buchanan has promised not
to become candidate again. But
temptation has seduced as wise and
Is -6is men as the new President, and
his known want of 6rmness may make
him the especial subject of fiatterers,
who. to gain their own private ends,
would shake this purpose. wise as it
is, and thereby endanger the peace of
the country. Let US have Buchanan's S
idea of Squatter Sovereignty faith
fully carried out, and we do not fear
for Freedom in Kansas. Let us hope
for much, expect but little, and be
thankful for even the smallest fayors.

Query Answered.

"Is Kansas as healthy as other por.
tions of the United States lying in the
same latitude East of the Mississippi
river o. inquiries a correspondent =
Our own opinion is that il is more
healthy. We base our opinion upon
observations and facts. The altitude
of Kansas is greater; it enjoys more
sunshine; is open to the fresh breezes;
has no swamps or low lands emitting
malaria and cannot be an unhealthy
country. Persons settling on the bot
toms of rivers and creeks, and in the
ravines and woods, have suffered from
sickness, and will continue to suffer so
long as they continue to settle or re-
side in such places. So will those
who expose themselves to sunshine
and storm with impuniiy. Aud so
will those who choose to reside in To-
calities where large bodies of prairie
are broken up during single season,
while the vegetable matter is deeom-
posing. But to say that Kansas is
unhealthy is TO say what we do not be-
lieye, and what facts will not justify.
The bills of mortality in Lawrence,
aside from deaths occasioned by the
fatigue of travel while coming here,
are smaller than those of any other
town in the Eastern States with the
same population, during the same pe-
