indianapolis Press.
Where is the center OF population in the
United States? This is one OF the many
interesting questions to be settled by the
census OF 1900. According to the last OF
fetal report, the census OF 1890, this point
is in southern Indiana. To be- exact, 1t
is located at 80 degrees. II minutes and
seconds west lQngitude--a point twenty
three miles east OF Columbus.
Since the first official census in 1890
there has been a steady westward move
ment The center OF area of the United
States is in Northern Kansas, and the
center OF population has been slowly but
surely travelling in that direction. The
point has moved westward sos miles The
ceuter CT population, according to the Of
nclal census, has been as follows:
lI90-Twenty- three miles east OF Balti-
more, Md.
1SOO--Eighteen miles west Of baltimore.
1Sl0-Forty miles northwest by west OF
Washington. D. c.

districts In the Western territory during
the past ten years has been pronounced.
but whether the Increase In population has
been larger I'm the East or in the West
oan only be determined by the official re-
turns from all Of the states. New LANDS
are being opened up constantly in the
West Prosperous villages now flourish
where only a rev years ago cattle grazed.
No accurate estimate can be made OF ths
population IN these territories.
Taking, however the burger cities in tho
East and West. semi official figures would
seem TO indicate that the westward move
ment has ceased, and that the course 81
the center OF population is now toward the
East Comparing the estimated increase
OF ton Of the principal Eastern and West
ern cities, the balance Is in favor OF the
East.
| In considering the Increase in the larger
cities T. Is Interesting to note that while
he actual figures show a balance of 707-
1O6 in favor OF the East. the percentage
OF Increase tx larger In the West. For tbs
Eastern cities the percentage OF increase
is II per cent and for the West 80 per cent.
The growth In the West is in the smaller
cities.
The percentage Of increase In the smaller
cities Is 60 per cent IN the West, against
40 per cent In the East, although tbs
actual figures are In favor OF the Eastern
territory. II the same percentage apply In
the towns and Villages. the center Of pops
ulation will probably be located further
on It's Journey to the center OF area.
