VoIivo Versus Drugs,
a Bottle Won

The drug store owner put blg sign on the
side of his store calling attention to the fact
that he was running a drug store and that his
drug store had made Zion City famous. The
wouId-be dictator of the city, the sign said,
spent s25,ooo to put him cut cf business, but
the store was still operating and carrying q
full line of patent ned cnes. cigars and to-
bacco The sign called attention to the fact
that you can smoke in Zion City and advised
patrons - paw no attention TO those who try
to stop you--'they are only blufflng.
Under the terms of the leases in Zion City
no one Owls any property but the overseer'
who in this case happened to be Nollva. BY
the payment of money land can be leased for
LOO years. These leases make it possible Tor
the overseer to enforce his laws. But by some
means the drug store owner had managed 10
get a clear title to the land upon which his
store stood.
For days the battle over the drug store
wsged but at last it terminated in favor OF
Mr.. Voliva. He bough, the drug store, and
the drugs, medicine and cigars were moved
out. There is drug store in Zion City now

Perhaps some day the factories and the mills

Dowie's Tax Bills
Started Zion

Dowie came to America from Australia
"broke' and in ten years he had achieved won
ders. HI came to Chicago in the early '9Os.
and in less than ten years. after l1eing laughed
at. scorned, fought and rdicule,l, he found
himself enormously wealthy and paying q
heavy tax to the city and state. He appealed
for relief from those taxes TIE ground of
his religion, and when this was refused he de-
cided to found q city for himself where. if any
taxes had to be paid, they would be paid to
him. Thus was Zion City conceived
He called upon his followers, aho numbered
many thousands, for aid, and soon the money
began pouring in. Real estate men were sent
out, options on land were taken and in 1901
Zion City became a reality. At first it con-
sisted of only the signboard by the railroad
tracks. Then tents, huts and houses sprang
up, and the end Of the first year saw several
factories in operation and more than 5000
persons living in the city.
During the early growth of the city the out
side world looked on, laughed and waited for
Dowie's bubble to burst but the little city
struggled on. Many things happened to threat
en- its future, none more serious than it's
founder and overseer's attempt to reform New
York, but despite everything it prospered and
continued to grow.
