RAILROAD TEST CASE 0N
COMMISSION BEGINS PROCEED INGS AGAINST UNION PACIFIC.
Law Says Mileage Books Shall Be Good Two Years, Roads Limit
 Their Use to One.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 26.-Attorney- General Thompson has complained to the railway commission that Union Pacific railroad conductor refused to accept mileage from a book bought by the attorney general more than year ago.

The railroads after some delay, placed mileage books on sale, but seek to override the law by limiting their use for one year.
 It is said that the railroads have strictly enforced the one-year limit and accept the unused mileage at the end of one year as payment upon new S20 book. Assistant Attorney General George Ayers was on official business when he presented one year book to a Union Pacific conduct or. It was refused, and Mir. Ayers paid his fare in cash.

,uceEAsE IN POPULATION OF TOWNS SHOWS POWER OF
 PRETTY LIGHTS.
RURAL GROWTH IS GOOD
But Figures Indicate No Great Move ment Back to the Farm"- Center of Population Still
 Goes West.

Washington, Aug. 26.-The census bureau has made public figures con- cerning enough localities to indicate certain interesting trends in the growth of American population. Though the end is close at hand, com plete returns have been made in only one state, and complete returns from particular counties and cities in only 23 states.
 General increase in Population.
 What stands out first Is. of course. the general increase in population all over the country. While this growth is perhaps more striking in the Mid dle West or even in the Far West, the East is little behind those sections. Increases in city population rarely fall below 20 per cent for the last 10 years. Often the increase is consider ably in excess of 30 per cent. Thus Bridgeport Conn.,, shows growth of 437 per cent in the last 10 years, while at the other end of the country Sacramento has grown 52.6 per cent in the same time.
 This growth has been expected. but there will probably be some surprise to find how far the growth of the cities exceeds that of the rural dis tricts Here, save in few localities. there is an increase, but generally it l. Seward and Buffalo counties, of 15, 900 and 10000 respectively. show prac- tically no increase, while the only oth- CT county recorded in the state (Mad- ison) shows an increase of about 200, N a first population of 17,0O0, or ~Lout II per cent
 Center of Population.
 Some spot in Illinois may mark the center of population for the next 10 years. It Is worth while to emphasize the word may" because there is not available at this time much definite information on which to base specula- uon as to where the center of popula ton will be.
 The remarkable increase in the pop- aation or Oklahoma must be taken 'nlo consideration in a speculation as to where the center of population is ikely to light" A fact worth bear. Ing In mind Is that the increases in popuiatlon in the East particularly nave been in the larger cities.
 The center of population has moved almost due westward since 17eO when :. was at a point 23 miles east of Bal. uMore. From 1790 to 1900 1t moved almost due west to a point IS miles west or Baltimore. In the next 10 years from 1900 to 1910, 1t moved westward and slightly southward to q punt about forty miles northwest by west Of Washington.
