MR. EDITOR: I wish to give notice, through your paper, to
all those parties who intend to emigrate to Oregon, that
arrangements have been made to cross the Missouri River at
two different points, the one in Andrew, the other in
Buchanan County. Some of the citizens of Andrew have made an
arrangement with the Sacs Indians for the privilege of
range, wood, and water, opposite Elizabethtown.
They have promised the Indians six two-year-old beeves, to
be paid by that portion of the Oregon company which may
cross at Elizabethtown. This point is very suitable for
crossing the Missouri River. The rates of only about half
what is usual at the common ferries on the Missouri.
The company expect to rendezvous in the Indian country,
opposite Elizabethtown, between the first and tenth of
April. A number of excellent citizens expect to cross at
this place. This is the point from which a portion of the
Oregon company started last spring. Taking all things into
consideration, this is probably the best route to cross the
Missouri at Elizabethtown (where there is an excellent
large, new ferry-boat), and fall over on the Platte,
opposite the Pawnee village, and thence pass along up the
south side of the Platte River.
