TURKISH PRISONER CIR.
QfS GLOBE TO Rf.ENIISl

Samuel Ruben, who claims that he
escaped from Turkinsh detention
camp in Mesopotamia, with eleven
comrades, ON November s, arrived in
town this morning from the east.
Although Russian born, Ruben was
serving in the British army and was
captured eleven days before his escape
at the battle of Ixixei, Mesopotamia.
The refugees succeeded in getting pas
sage on sailing vessel in the Red sea
bound for Honolulu, where they arriv-
ed FIVE weeks ago. From that port four
made the, trip to Portland, Oregon,
where there is. no resident British con-
sui, but the soldiers were informed
that there was one at Salt Lake City.
Upon arriving at the Mormon capital
they found that they had been misin-
formed, and Ruben is now making his
way to San Franc SEQ in the hope that
the official he is seeking may return
him to the theatre of war.

FIVE WESTERN STATES
IN BEAR RIVER SUIT

Five western states have fled briefs
in the Supreme Court of the United
States, interpleading in the case of
the United States against the Bear
River Irrigation company, which was
brought by the government to collect
rentals from the irrigation company
for occupying government land for the
generation of power and for the estab
hshment of power poles to carry elec-
tricity to the pumping stations. The
case was decided against the irrigation
company in the district court and ap-
peal was taken to the Supreme Court.
The government seeks to collect on
the Acts of Congress 1896, which give
the right to the federal government to
collect rentals for rights of way over
government lands.
Attorney General A. R. Barnes, is
representing Utah in the proceedings
and the attorney generals of Idaho,
Colorado, Wyoming, Nevada and Cali
fornia have filed briefs interpleading
on behalf of those states. To sustain
the contentious of the government
would mean that the title of the state

MORE OR LESS AN ESTIMATE
How the Census Bureau Arrives al
What II Calls the Center Of
Population.

In locating the center of population
1t Is first assumed to be approximately
at certain point Through this point
a parallel and a meridian are drawn.
crossing the entire country. The prod
uct of the population of a given area
by its distance from the assumed par
allel is called north or south mo-
ment, and the product of the popula-
tion or the area by its distance from
the assumed meridian is called an
east and west moment. In calculating
north and south moments the dis
tances are measured in minutes OF
arc; in calculating east and west mo-
ments II is necessary to use miles on
account OF the unequal length of the
degrees and minutes in different lati-
tudes. The population OF the country
is grouped by square degrees-that Ia,
by areas included between consecutive
parallels and meridians-as they are
convenient units with which to work
The population OF the principal cities
is then deduced from that of the re-
spective square degrees in which they
lie and treated separately. The cen
ter of population of each square de-
gree is assumed to be at its geo.
graphical center. except where such
an assumption is manifestly incorrect;
in these cases the position of the cen
ter of population of the square degree
is estimated as nearly as possible.
The population OF each square de-
gree north and south of the assumed
parallel is multiplied by the distance
of its center from that parallel; a sim.
liar calculation is made for the prin-
cipal cities, and the sum of the north
moments and the sum of the south
moments are ascertained. The diff
ference between these two sums, di
vided by the total population of the
country, gives a correction to the lati
tude. In similar manner the sums
of the east and of the west moments
are ascertained and from them the
correction in longitude Is made.
