CHMmIAN JONES Of the National
Republican Committee innocently re.
marks that in 1884 Mr.. Blaine had TO
great extent lost the desire for the
office. Chairman Jones should exer-
else great care in giving off such start
ling information as this, especially to
those who know what the results of
1884 We're; he might give somebody a
permanent nervous shock, and we
know he is too kind a man to do that
Intentionally.

News From Smoky.

A gentleman just back from Smok,
says that the wole region generally is
looking very we'll. At the Carrie
Leonard the deep tunnel is being
driven right along, while the slopes ir
the upper levels are showing consid
cradle ore. At the Silver Star the
shaft is still going down in good
ground, and another level will soor
be opened, when the mine and mil
will be worked with full force. AT
the King of the West the 400 level is
being opened up and shows consid-
cradle ore.
At the Tyrannis there are large
ore.bodies exposed, but the miners
are devoting all their attention to
making an upraise, which viii thor
oughly ventilate the mine.
The Dolarhide group is supposed
to be sold to English parties.
At the Galore Stormy the deep
tunnel is in about $50 feet-w1th

ing the past hundred years, it would
at the end of that time be more than
halfway across the State of Mis-.
souri,. But this is not likely to be the
case. Each succeeding census for
several coming decades will doubtless
show Stacking up in the rate of ad-
vancement westward, and finally the
direct forward movement must cease.
Bearing in mind the narrow vision
and the mistaken forecasts of our
early legislators, it seems hazardous to
conjecture with regard to future prob.
abilities. Yet there is good reason
! to believe that not for many years
will the nucleus of the country's pop.

A LEADING CITIZEN SPEAKS.
Only Two Ditlsionists on the Prairie
The Change In the Mail Route.

Only Two DiSlsi0nists on the Prairie
The Change In the Mail Route.
To THE ErlroR OF thu TIMES
l have noticed the weeping, wailing
and crashing of the pinched imagin-
alton of the Bellevue Herald in re.
gard to the division of Alturas coun-
ty; also in regard to the change of
mail route from HALEY to Camas Prai-
RE - instead of from Bellevue to
Camas Prairie-a route which has
been in use for years.
AS to the division we would saw
that with only two exceptions-E. G.
Burnett and Joe Jones, of Corral
creek-no one on the Prairie favors a
division; in fact, are bitter against
division. Should the time ever come
when we have q railroad across
Camas Prairie then we will vie with
the divisionists for a division, pro.
vidlug we can have the county-seat
on the Prairie.
1t is an undisputed fact the resi-.
dents of Atlanta, Rocky Bar and
Mountain Home would rather come
to Camas Prairie to attend court than
to go to Wood River. So please
bear in mind that never, never until
then will the Camas rancher consent
to a division to annihilate our inter.
ests by putting us into two separate
counties where our interests will no
longer be identical. This may be
treason, but it is gospel truth; and
we propose to stay with it, all the
same.
AS to the change of mail routes
we favor it as being just and proper
change. have lived here for years
and I must say that I have neve,
heard anything detrimental to the
management of the HALEY postofhce
Can the same be said of the Belle
vue office? Then it is nearer to Hal
ley and of course is quicker route
and HALEY being the county-seat ha
much to do IN making it the most de
sirable route to the people here.
AS to contractor Darlington no
losing but one tri p this winter:
would say that we went without
mail here for nine Coy days at one tim
this winter, and the mail. carrier no
putting in his appearance the peopl
all along the line became alarmed fo
his safety, and sigel Morrill, of Crict
ton, struck out on snowshoes to hun
for him and at the same time Levi
Lavake, Of Soldier, set out with tear
and snowshoes to hunt him up and Of
the same day James McGowan Franl
McCady, Joe Jones and young
Charley Darlington from Cora
started out to find the mail contrac
tor who had "not lost but one trip tn
whole winter" yet did not show u
with an Eastern mail for nine day
when his contract calls for tr
weekly mail.
OF course he made trips "daily" q
times during the winter to make u
for the regular trips lost on his tri
weekly contract.
We mention this as the Statement
appearing as it did was liable t
convey a wrong impression among it
readers as to the unjustness of tn
change. We are glad of the chang
that is to be made in the mail route.

THE CENTRE OF POPULATION.
How "Westward the Star of Empire
Takes Its Way" at an Average Rate
Of Five Miles Per Year-The PiO-
neer-How Poverty and Stern Dis.
cipline Nodded His Character.

Prof. James Baldwin in Scribner's for Aprill
THE CENTRE OF POPULATION.
For one hundred years the point
which represents the centre of the re-
public has been steadily moving due
westward along the 18th parallel of
north latitude. Its average rate of
progress has been about five miles per
wear. In 1900 its location was Is
miles west of Baltimore; in 1910 it
had crossed the Potomac; in 1920 it
was we'll on the western side Of the
Shenandoah Valley; in 1880 it had
reached the highest ridge of the APP
palachians; in 1850 it had passed the
mountain barriers and was following
the course of the Little Kanawha
through West Virginia; within the
next 10 years it had, by rapid march
of more than 80 miles, reached a
point over halfway across the State
of Ohio; in 1870 it was within so
miles of Cincinnati; in 1880 it had
entered the valley of the Miami; in
1890 it will probably be found we'll
within the boundaries OF Indiana.
That sooner or later this central
point which represents the westward
"course of empire" in the United
States will cease to advance, or other
wise will reach a turning place, is alb
solutely certain. Should its progress
continue for another century as dur
