Zion Gives I'D Mexico Idea.

Chicago. John Alexander Dowie's
great Mexican plantation scheme,
which has cost him so much toll,
promises to be practically abandoned
under the plans of the triumvirate now
ruling the fiscal affairs of Zion City.
1t is declared by one of the triumvi-
rate that no outside ventures will re-
ceive development at present, and that
all efforts will be concentrated upon
bringing order into the affairs at Zion
City itself.
The same man said that the land ac-
quired by Dowie in Mexico has turned
out to be poor quality and the litigation
necessary to use it will probably oc-
cupy a number of years.
For these reasons the triumirate will
check the operations in Mexico, al
thought few hundred acres will be
held in order TO FURNISH a nucleus for
taking up the project again il it ever
becomes possible to do so. Overseer
Voliva of Australia, who is slated tc
become temper airy overseer at Zior
City. is expected to arrive Sunday
February II.
