HAS MOVED BUT FEW MILES.
Location Of Center of Population as
Compared With Other Years.


Compared With Other Years.
The matter of the center of popula-
ton in this state for several years has
been called up by the place which has
been designated as the center by Com.
missioner Robinson, from the report
of the census Of this year, his location
for the 1905 census being the south
west corner of section 36-l08-5S. He
has also carried out the figures Of the
federal census for both 1900 and $780,
on the same basis of computation used
in locating the center for the 1905 cen.
sus, and finds that the center on that
basis for 1900 was the southwest cor
ner of 29-108-57, or two miles east and
one mile north of the center as now
located. For 1890 the center on the
same computation was at the south
west corner of section 19-108-58. All
these computations were made from
the same system Of figuring, and show
change Of less than ten miles in the
last fifteen years, going east from
1890 to 1900, and back west from 1900
to 1905.
