GERMANY FINES MoRMoNs.
Does Not Like Doctrines of Latte
Day Saints.

Dresden, Saxony, October o.
Three American Mormons have been
expelled from Germany as the result
of persisting, despite final warnings
prohibiting them from spreading
their propaganda, I'm conducting rlv-
er baptisms and making converts.
They were arrested and summarily
taken under guard to the frontier.
The imperial authorities decided
in 1908 that it was not desirable to
allow Mormon agents to continue
their activity in Germany, but ow.
ing to the representations of the
American embassy in Berlin, and OF
Cbif Missionary Cannon, whose
field of activity was Central Europe,
with headquarters at Berlin, the
foreign Office allowed the Mormons
a month in which to settle their af-
fairs and leave the country. There
were at one time 80 missionaries in
the various states in Germany, and
the grounds for their expulsions
were teachings contrary to public
morality. It was also agreed with
Mr.. Cannon that all the Mormons
who were American citizens should
discontinue presenting their doc
trines in Germany. The German
converts, of whom there were thou
sands, and who continued to follow
their faith under native pastors,
were subject to various police hind
RANGES. Mr.. Cannon moved his CEN
trail European headquarters to
Switzerland. and 1t is understood has
since returned to Salt Lake.
1t is now presumed his successor
is re-entering the German field for
Mormon missionary work, from
which formerly many women con.
verts were sent to Utah.

Eugene Prunes.

The big prune dryer at Thuston
owned by C. Densmore, and which
has been run this year by Russell
a. Patch, has just finished a 10 days
run and has turned out sc tons OF
the dried product. Not a prune in
the whole community was lost and
the quality is better than ever be-
fore dried. The price paid to the
grower averaged about s12.50 per
ton and those having orchards real
lied about $50 per acre for their
prunes. Mr.. Wylie. who lives near
Springfield received about SIT per
acre for HIS crop, which was exeep-
tioRally good. The prunes were
shipped TO the Willamette Valley
Fruit company at Salem and they
have all been hauled in and shipped.
This is an excellent record for the
Thurston dryer and is better than
they have had for many years.-Eu-
