Eolith of the city plat and the other direct

service to emigrants into the interior, and
ucross the plains, as it opens the way to
the only good and practicable route to the

West of Bellcvue, the emigrant his a
route all the way to the Iikhora and L.u;
Fork rivers without the obstruction of a

as can be found on the continent. Il is
not only the best, but it is, by sever.. 1
