FEAR THE MORMONS
INDEPENDENCE, KANSAS,
is NOW ALARMED.
Annexation 10 Kansas City VIII Be
Asked to Prevent Mormon Domlna-
tion-Two Branches of tho Nor
mons Struggling for Possession OF
Sacred Building Spot Named by
Joseph Smith.

The recent attempts of the two rival
branches of the Mormon church in
their effort to gain controlling in
fluence in Independence. and eventu-
ally erect n magnificent tabernacle
there, as was foretold by Joseph
Smith, prophet and founder of Nor
nonism, has alarmed Protestants of
that town to such an extent that they
are advocating annexation to Kansas
City, says Kansas City dispatch. III
the past few weeks the situation has
been discussed by almost ever gem
tile minister, and the business men
OF Independence are holding meetings
as to the advisability of annexation.
Becoming a part of Kansas City is be-
heved to be the only means which
will prevent Mormon predominance in
the municipal, social and business af-
fairs OF the town.
Thus far the organized church,
whose headquarters are at Lamont
Ia, has been the most successful in
Independence, although the Utah
branch is fast gaining strength. Tne
Iowa Mormons have a church, while
the Utah members come to Kansas
City to worship.
But to all, Independence is sacred.
and the one which succeeds In erect
ng the tabernacle on Temple Lot
In that town will have gained a great
victory. This lot---a tract of three
acres-is to the Mormons of ali
branches the most sacred place on
earth. They believe that 1t IL the
center of what was once the Garden
OF Eden. and the place where Joseph
Smith found the golden plates.
Temple Lot" II is certain. was
the site which Joseph Smith. the
prophet, had in mind when he told
his people what God had revealed tc
him" regarding the tabernacle. The
revelation. as given by Smith, is as
follows:
"Harken ye, o ye elders of Ny
church, saith the Lord your God, who
have assembled yourselves together tC
Ny commandment in this land which
l have appointed and consecrated fol-
the gathering OF the saints, wherefore
this Is the land of promise and the
place which is now called Independ-
ence. Mo-, is the center place and spot
for the temple; 1t lying westward up
on a spot which is not far from the
court house"

NOW FOR CHAMPIONSHIP.
Review OF Northwest Football by Pen
dletOn Boy at Seattle.

University Station, Seattle, Nov IS.
-(Editor East Oregonian.) The
football season as regards the north
west championship is drawing to
close. The University of oregon by
defeating the oregon Agricultural
college last Saturday won the cham
pionship of Oregon. 1t will be impos-
sble to pick championship team of
Washington on account of the nature
of the schedule and the results of the
games played.
The Pullman team and the Unlver-
sity of Washington team will not meet
owing to differences between the man
ayers as to what should bar col
lege player on the charges of profess
sionalism The University of Idaho
defeated the Washington team and the
Pullman team by about an equal score
so that neither of the Washington
teams can claim championship by
comparative scores.
The remaining big games to be
played are those between the Univer-
sity of Washington and the Oregon
state and Oregon farmer teams.
What will probably be the biggest
game of the year will take place in
Seattle next Saturday when the Ore
gon eleven lines up against the Wash
ington defenders.
Oregon undoubtedly has a very
strong team and public sentiment is
slightly in their favor. The Washing
ton team has played in hard luck all
season, beginning at the first of the
year when Dean had his shoulder
broken. He was followed by Ray
Goodrich, an all northwest halfback,
with a badly broken shoulder, and
then followed Ike Dowd with broken
collar bone. Several other of the star
performers also Joined the hospital
squad and necessitated the use of sec
ond team men.
The Sherman Indian team of south
ern California, which had played
Stanford hard game in a score of 6
to 4, in favor of Stanford, was last
Saturday swept off its feet by the
Washington team when they defeated
them by a score of 30 to 0.
This gave Washington supporters
the first opportunity of seeing what
kind of team they had with which
to meet the husky Oregon aggrega-
tion. When the Oregon lads go forth
to battle in Seattle they will show up
every point in the great game of col
lege football, and the team that de-
feats them will earn the victory.

seph Smith In 1881. He had short
time previously established a settle
ment In Independence. Three years
later he and his colony of 1900 were
driven out of the country, the people
charging conspiracy and fomenting OF
trouble. The colony was forced to
leave at the muzzles of rifles. One
woman was killed In the riot.
The quarrel between the gentiles
and the Mormons of Missouri lasted
until 1898, when Governor Boggs pro-
claimed that the Mormons must leave
the state.
They were driven first into Illinois,
and two years later were forced Ia
leave that state, most of them going to
Utah. Later the Iowa branch became
the Reorganized Church of Latter Day
Saints of Jesus Christ, the Salt Lake
branch adopting the name "Organiz-
ed" Church of Jesus Christ OF Latter
Day Saints.
But independence. especially Tenn
pie Lot still remained to all the cher
ished site for the City of Zion, and
every Mormon believes that It will be
only a short time before Smiths
prophecy will be fulfilled.
Already subscriptions are being
raised by the rival branches and land
is being acquired in all parts OF In
dependence. The Iowa branch is con-
templating moving its headquarters
from Lamont. within a few months,
while the Mormons in Utah will re-
tain Salt Lake as their headquarters
until after they shall have erected a
tabernacle on Temple Lot.
The Utah Mormons hold title to a
tract of 26 acres In Independence,
while the others owr about SO acres
But Temple Lot, the most cherished
spot of all, is in litigation. Jane
