LECTURE BY EDWARD
BALCH BARR

Those who were present at the Lin
coin School building audience room
Monday evening had the pleasure of a
trip to the Hudson Bay country with
Mr.. Balch Barr, who illustrated the
trip with scenes from Sault Ste, Marie
up through that vast expaDSe of coun-
try and wilderness lying between
Sault Ste Marie and Hudson Bay, The
river scenes were beautiful and add
ed greatly to the otherwise interesting
address on the Indians and few white
people VINO reside in the Government
out posts in that country. He was
greeted by large audience who had
come to hear him on account of the
interest they had in knowing of that
little heard OF country. The lecture
as summed up, was very instructive
/ and pleasing and the pictures illus.
trating the trip made it doubly inter-

CENTER Of
POPULATION
Its Migration Westward, Re-
markabIy Slow

The center of population in 1900
was in the state of Indiana. In 1870
the center was twenty-three miles
east of Baltimore in the state of
Maryland. or virtually Oh the Allan
tic shore line. Its migration has
been slow and remarkably uniform
both in rate and direction. 1t has
lowered for ITO years along the thirty
ninth parallel of latitude and its
total variation 10 latitude has been
less than onethird of degree.
The westward movement has aver
aged less shan a degree in a decade,
not withdrawing the increditably
swift occupation of a vacant conti-
nent by a movement of population
westward. The easterly position of
the center of population is in part due
to the fact that the eastern part of
the continent was first settled from
the east. The easterly position of
the center of population is also due to
the more evenly distributed and more
abundant resources of the eastern
half of the United States.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1909-03-25

1t should not be forgotten that the
geographical center of the United
States lies some hundreds of miles
west of the Mississippi River. The
eastern half of the country therefore.
embraces the Atlantic lowlands, the
pralries and the great lake plains,
the gulf lowlands and the forests and
minerals of the Appalachian noun
taias and Appalachian plateaus.
Over against these are the arid and
mountainous areas of the West.
Certain areas will be reclaimed to
incredible product1veness and the
mineral wealth is vast, but the center
of the population may be expected to
remain permanently to the eastward of
the geographical center of the world.

GOVERNMENTS ENCROACH-
MENT IN JOB PRINTING

The American Press has recently
published several papers written by
Influential editors protesting strongly
against the policy of the government
in entering the job printing field.
What the government is now doing is
serious enough in itself to warrant a
vigorous protest from everyone inter
ested in job printing-and that means
every newspaper publisher-but it
should also be remembered that there
is grave danger of the government go
ing even further in this field If it is
permissible for the postoffices to at

Yes. Now think. If he was sup
