The most direct route and best road from Leav-
enworth and the Missouri river is by way of To
peka where the emigrant cross the Kanzas riv-
er by the elegant and substantial bridge just hn-
ished, the first and only bridge that river
thence by way of Brownville, Wilmington and
Wat. rloo to Forest Hill, thus making direct and
good route to Eagle City, Shell Rock Falls, Verdi
girls and Walnut creek country. --t
The natural crossing which the Junction af-
fords, is one of the many reasons why the south
ern emigration crosses this way. Preparations are
being made for the speedy construction of a good
Bridge at the Junction. for the better aecommoda-
ton of the emigrant. -
