forty-two from Milwaukee. In the fall
they held in the name of Zion a huge
tract of land lying just south of the
Wisconsin state line and stretching
away four miles over the gently slop-
ing prairies from the lake shore back
into the town of Benton. Then, when
all these acres were his, Dowie an
nounced that he intended to build Zion
City there.
Early in August, 1901, ground was
broken for the first house in this City
of Peace. The city is plated on exact
geometric lines. with two great boule-
wards through the center These are
crossed by two other boulevards at
angles of forty-five degrees. The east
and west streets are numbered from
one to so, First street being on the
wisconsin state line.
The north and south streets have
Biblical names, chosen, alphabetically,
from Aaron avenue, on the lake shore,
to Zebulon avenue, miles back in the
town.
Seven thousand six hundred and
twenty eight acres are included in the
city limits.
Like a swarm of bees the Zionists
descended on their land to build a new
city, and it sprang up like a mush-
room.
Dowie called upon his followers from
all parts of the country to move to
Zion, and they came. He had adopted
advanced ideas of health, cleanliness,
and sanitation from the Mormons and
improved upon them.
Zion City seemed builded literally
and really upon the sands. There was
nothing to make city, neither harbor
nor mines, and not much agriculture.
Chicagoans could not see how Zion
could be self-supporting. Again
Dowie showed his resourcefulness. He
was related by marriage to one Stew
enson, a Nottingham lacemaker, and
Dowie decided that 1acemaking should
be the principal industry of Zion City.
He went to England, enlisted Stew
enson in the scheme. purchased new
and improved lace machinery, and
began importing skilled laborers to
educate his people in the art He
built great brick building for his lace
factory to the east of the Northwestern
railway and prepared to start the in
dustry. His enemies made a deter
mined fight to keep out his lace ma
chinery, declaring against his impor-
tation of skilled 1aborers, and seeking
to force him to pay high tariff on his
machinery.
Dowie went to Washington, saw
certain persons, and the workers and
the machinery came through. He was
starting an infant industry He then
began to teach his unskilled people, re-
cruited from all ranks of life, the art
of lacemaking.

Everything seemed to be going
smoothly in Zion The people took mp
celery culture and the raising of veg
etables, and it seemed as il the city
was in a fair way to become a big
money maker Dowie had planned a
harbor, which could be easily con-
structed by dredging, and was plan
ming new manufacturing industries
when suddenly religion clashed with
business.
Dowie as a business man had had
marvellous success Yet at times his
desire to extend his religious views
had seriously hampered his business
ventures.

crowd in the Auditorium at Chicago he
declared himself Elijah III. He did
not press the point strongly at first,
but the Elijah idea kept working and
by degrees people came to understand
that Dowie claimed himself to be
Elijah the Restorer, the reincarnation
of Elijah the Destroyer, who was fed
by the ravens and finally was trans
lated. He declared that Elijah the
Destroyer reappeared again as John
the Baptist, who was Elijah the Pre-
parer, and that he, Dowie, was the third
and last manifestation of Elijah. He
called upon his people to believe this
and they believed.
This idea was what interfered with
his business. He startled Chicago over
a year ago by sending down swarms of
his followers from Zion City to make
vlsitations from house to house and
tell about Elijah III. But not much
