Davenport Sept. 10.-The desire OF
the Iowa conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church to annex Davenpor,
and Iowa City from the Upper Iowa
conference and other towns from the
Des Moines conference is attracting in
terest among the Methodists of the
church and will likely manifest itself
In some proposed readjustment of con-
ference boundaries at the general con-
ference, which meets once in four years
and will convene next May at Los An

this fall the delegates to this national
convention are being chosen with the
view of furthering or preventing the
changes favored by the Iowa confer
ence. The Iowa conference occupies
proposes to take a considerable slice of
territory off from the Upper Iowa con-
ference and annex such cities as Iowa
City and Davenport, and another slice
on their west from the Des Moines
conference. practically dividing in two
the Charlton district. OF course both
of these proposals are being contested
by these two conferences involved, and
the delegates will doubtless be in
structed in each conference to defend
their territory and defeat this annexa-
ton scheme of the Iowa conference.
The Des Moines conference proposes
it there should be any danger of this
land grabbing scheme succeeding, to
ask a generous slice from the North
west conference, where they cut down
into our geographical square. So it
will appear that the elections this year
have a very great bearing on all these
questions. In addition to this there is
to be the election of four to six bish-
ops and the filling of many important
elective positions to be committed to
these delegates, so the best men In
every way are greatly needed among
both ministrs and laymen.
The appointments always give more
OR less concern and anxiety. This year
some very important changes are to
occur In the Des Moines conference,
which meets next Wednesday at In
