The Center of Grain Production.

The Center of Grain Production.
The figures of the last census, when
compared with those of the previous
census reports back in 1850, indicate
that the movement of the production
of grain under natural conditions has
reached it's western limit. Since 1850
the "median point" (center) OF pro-
duction of the six great crops-corn,
wheat, oats, barley, rye, and buck
wheat-was about 20 miles west
southwest of Burlington, Iowa; but its
western movement in the last ten
years was comparatively very small.
1t remains to be seen what effect the
great irrigation work now planned by
the government will have upon the
location of the great grain fields OF
| the country.

Strikes Continue
 With No Outbreaks

As far as could be ascertained today both the New Haven roads striking freight handlers and the machinists out at the Coe- -Stapley Co.'S plant on Railroad avenue were conducting their campaigns unabated, but without ap- parent show of violence.
 It is known that the freight houses are fully open and receiving and de- livering all consignments, with a large number of men still lodged upon the steamer 'sF'all River and held in re serve for emergency. st
 At the Coe plant, picketting was maintained under the watchfl1l eyes Of minions of the law, but from state ments issued by the factory officials, work is going on in all departments. It Is asserted that nachinists and tool makers have been brought from other factories and cities and put to work here. Whether they are union men or merely non-union strike breakers could not be ascertained.
 It was said that no overtures look ing to a settlement Of the difficulties had been made on either side.

JUMPED TOO SOON FROM
 MOVING TROLLEY CAR

Isadore Frankel. 22 years old. re- siding at Walter court, did not wait for the trolley upon which he was riding to stop. He just walked off and then rolled like turtle with his head drawn in. about the pavement of Main street. near George.
 When he was picked up and con xeyed to the Emergency hospital by an official of the Connecticut Com pany he presented a very badly bruis- ed arm. As it is thought a bone in the elbow may be broken he was re- ferred to St. Vincent,s hospital for x-ray examination and further treat ment.

NEARLY A RIOT
 OVER 0ILINC OF HALLETT STREET

There was very nearly a riot this noon time in Ha1lett street between Ogden street and Berkshire avenue where the sprinkling cart of the Stan dard Oil Co. is putting oil upon Hal lett street, many of the owners of property in that section making de- cided protests against the way the work is being done. The wagon is at work under contract with the Depart ment of Public Works.
 | The main cause of objection is the condition Of the nacadan road way, in which there are holes in some places nearly a. foot deep, and in which the spattered all over the neighborhoo pools in the depressions and it makes a very disagreeable mess for travel to pass through.
 The residents Of @, portion Of Hallett street held informal mass meeting at noon time, and many of them were loud in their protests, and there were propositions to run the oil wagon off the street. Wiser counsel, however, prevailed, and the work was allowed to proceed, but the property owners will take some other method of mak- ing an effective protest They are ask ing why some of the $f2,oo0 alleged to have been saved in the department was not expended in putting some of the streetA on the East Side in reason able repaIrs a1id scaH attention to Wal ter street and number Of others on the East Side which are in a depIor- able condition.
