HERALD OF FREEDoN:-As yoh and
your readers are interested in every
thing that appertains to the settlement
of the Territory, | take the liberty to
inform you that company from
Maine, known as the Saco Kansas As
sociation, have located a town on
Walnut Creek, about two miles be-
low the old California road, and have
given it the name of Hamlin, in hon
or of Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, Maine
distinguished Senator, and late Gov
ernor. 1t is beautiful location for
a town, and will doubtless make a
thriving inland place. Among the
natural advantages, are a good supply
of timber an inexhaustible quantity OF
limestone of the best kind for building
purposes, coal mines which promise
to pay literally. and as rich and hand
some prairie as ever the sun shone on.
The company are industrious, en-
ergetic, and wealthy. and they will
spare no effort to make this model
New England town. Maine men
could do well to visit our location be-
fore settling. Mills are to be erected
Immediately. and stores, a hotel,
blacksmith shop. and lawyers Office,
as soon as it is possible to get the
lumber.
There will be an excellent chance
for mechanics who wish to take uI
claims. Yours, DC,
