In 1898 the tide turned and crowds
fiocked to hear his preaching. From
that time until a short time ago there
was a steady and at times a phenom-
email growth of the Christian Catho-
lie church in Zion, as his organization
became called. In 1895 he was arrested
over one hundred times for violation of
the laws regarding the care of the sick
and he was often mobbed in his mis-
sions.
On January /, 1900, he founded Zion
City, which grew to a population OF
$1,000 persons, connected with the in
dustries he had founded there. Then
he extended his mission to New York
from which time dated his downfall.
In Gotham he was laughed at and his
mission proved a fiat failure.
Then came financial troubles in Zion.
His claim of personal ownership of
church property was disputed and he
was finally deposed from the leadership
and practically driven from the church
and city he had founded. This occur
red during the past year, following an
attempt of the prophet to form colony
in Mexico.

John Alexander Dowie was born in
Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1S47. In 1860
his family removed to Adelaide, Aus
tralia, where for seven years young
Dowie was a clerk in business house.
During this period, too, he had his first
experience in divine healing, for he re-
ported that he was cured of dyspepsia
at the age OF 16 in answer to prayer.
In 1867, when he was 20, he returned
to Edinburgh, where his savings en-
abled him to pursue a five years course
in arts and theology.
In 1872 Dowie returned to Australia,
where he was for six years pastor of
the Congregational church at Newtown,
a suburb of Sydney. A vigorous and
effective speaker, he had large congre-
cations and marked success.
A close student of all Biblical pas
sages relating to divine healing, in 1878
he forsook his church and the denom-
ination in which he had grown up IL
lead an evangelists life along these
peculiar lines.
He went to Melbourne, built taber-
nacle devoted to his belief, organized
a divine healing association, which aft
erward became international in char
acter, and became it's president.
Chance directed him across the Pa
cific. He spent some time in Califor-
MIA, and in 1890 reached Chicago. his
first stopping place being the small

amount Of taxes collected in 1892, three
years after the first section of the rail-
way built was opened.
The total for 1905 was $1,126, ,65S.32, but
footnote states that, owing to appeals
to the Supreme Court, taxes in Eva
and Waianae amounting to $4,000 were
paid in 1905 which otherwise would
have been paid in 1904.
Another reason for the decrease in
1906 as compared with 1905 is that only
six months of the income tax was COL
lected in 1906.
Mr.. Dillingham;, referring to the tax
figures, laid stress on the small in
crease of revenue from Koolaupoko, as
yet not penetrated by the rails, amount
ing as stated above to about $1,000, in
comparison with an increase of $780,
299.46 from Honolulu district, of S174,-
S2S.50 from Eva and Waianae, of $54,-
S04.43 from Waialua and more than
doubled taxes from Koolauloa where
the railway terminates.
"The small increase shown by Koo-
laupoko, without the railway, would
make it a fair presumption" Mr.. Dill
lingham said, that at least S5 per cent.
of Oahu's development in these fifteen
years is directly owing to the Oahu
railway" .ss&
