tles, under tho' Ii'adeisliip or Wilbur
tllotin Volvln, who succeeded .lohn
Alexander Dowio ns the titular liead
of tho sect bearing Dowle's name,
threaton civil war, or armed insur
rection ngainst the authority of tho
slulo of Illinois. The state has order
ed that every citlreu of .Ion be vac
cinated. The Zionists have to resist
tho order "to the death."
Intoriilconee strife also exists, re
sulting in serious rioting in the
streets. Armed guards have been
misled to nrevont an outbreak by
the Independents or anti-Vlollvaites
who are holding a meeting today in
tho tabernacle. '
Voliva has decided to post a guard
with n drum in the tabernacle. The
appearance of tho state vaccination
squad will bo the signal for tho guard
to beat the drum, summoning Zion
ists to tho tabernacle armed find
prepared to resist the physicians of
llio slalo health board.
A similar signal will also call the
faithful together, to leslst any move
ment on the part of tho Independents.
Tho Voliva faction favors following
tho rigid rules enacted by John Alex
ander Dowle, when he was In absolute
control of tho city prohibiting smok
ing, oysters, soda water, drugs, pork,
dancing and other amiixements. Tho
independents are in favor of much
laxity. Two years ago tho Indepen
dents weio successful in placing mem
bers of thoir faction In many Import
ant city offices. SInco that time pork,
clgais, cigarettes, drugs and ninny
other things tabooed by Dowlo, have
been Hold.
Lust week, by purchaso, Voliva
socurod control of tho city. Ho caus
ed to bo posted In a conspicuous place,
a sign bearing tho logend:
"Zion City, tho perfect city. No
tobacco, no whiskey, no theaters, no
doctors, no drugs, no pork, no oys
ters. It is a clean city for cloan peo
ple "
hater Voliva. with five hundred ad
herents, paraded the streets and
iuro attacked by the Independents.
Last night giant negroes, armed with
rifles, guarded tho sign posted b
Volviu and this morning they were re
lieved by four armed men.
Volvla, In an Interview today said
that guards would be maintained un

m CUDS OF
El
Lumber Dealers State That Amount
of Lumber to Be Used in Mcdford
DuriiiH 1911 Will Be 25 Per Cent
Greater Than Total for 1910.
Acroicling to the predictions made
by local lumber men Monday, the
amount of lumber that will be Im
ported Into Medford during the com
ing year wll be approximately -Ii
per cent greater than was imported
during 1910.
Those figuies, based on the de
mands for estimates alreafly In the
hands of tiie lumber yards, which
alone are 40 per cent greater that at
this time last year, are only approxi
mated, hut close figuring, taking
these figures as a basis, show that
something In tho neighborhood of
IS, 000, 000 board feet, or about 720
cars, will be imported into this clt
during 1911.
From tho same sources, It Is as
certained that thoro is more heavy
construction either already under
way or in course of planning In Med
ford for completion during this year
than has over been done previously.
lloth In tho business buildings to
bo erected, and in the residences that
are contemplated, It Is noticeable that
Instead of tho many hastily built
structures that were of necessity built
last year, this year will wltnoss tho
erection of buildings moro substan
tial, and erected nt a greater propor
tionate cost than has ever been un
dertaken here before.
The lumbermen look for a Imuner
output In 10U and their expectations
are duplicated in the prophesies made
by every other firm engaged In con
.miction work In the local field
