Show V THE RICH COUNTY NEWS, RANDOLPH, UTAH Spain, lying only a few miles north of the northern shores of Morocco, was naturally one of the first of the modern nations of Europe to gain a foothold in that country. Mellila, a seacoast town near the northeastern-corn- er of Morocco, came into the possession of Spain in 1487, and other Mediterranean coast towns have been captured at various times . since. Though a definite zone of Spanish influence has been since an agreement Jietweep Frtizei and Spain in 1812, Spain has done little rpore at any time than to hold the ports and a small area of the hinterland about each.

S. Officials officials have been ELEVEN federal before impeachment proceedings in the history of the United States. These facts are recalled in connection with the action taken by Representative Welty of Ohio against Federal Judge K. M. Landis. Treason, high crimes, bribery and misdemeanors on the part of a national officer' are named in the Constitution as reasons for his removal from office through impeachment. The sole power of Impeachment is vested in the house of representatives. The accused is brought before the bar of the senate to make his plea to the charges. The penalty for conviction is removal from office and disqualification of the right to hold any government position, honor or profit. The first official to be impeached in the United States was William Blount, senator from Tennessee, on July 7, 1797, for conspiring to throw America into war with Spain for England's benefit. He was acquitted. ' John Pickering, federal judge for Ntew Hampshire, was Impeached March 3, 1803, for drunkenness, and con' treatment to charges of tyrannous 1 , counsel, , , West H.

John Herrin's Center of Population" tne last decade the center continued to move westward, advancing 9.8 miles in that direction and about of a mile north from Bloomington, Ind., where- it was located by the census of 1910. The bureau attributed the westward movement in the last decade principally to .the increase of more than 1,000,000 in the population of the state of California. Geographically speaking, the bureau sqid, the new center of population is located where the parallel of latitude 39 degrees 10 minutes and 21 seconds north intersects the meridian, of longitude 80 degrees 43 minutes and 15 Seconds west. This would fix the center near the little village of Whitehall, in southern Indiana, approximately 51 miles southwest of Indianapolis. DURING one-fift- h - UTAH I1K7S REVIEW Don Gee, aged!
