A tribe of civilised Indians down in New Mexico had done it before, and the Spaniards had always irrigated. I guess you won't find any- thing here in the way of irrigation they haven't got in Egypt And you can water this land in a year; MORMONISM: BIfiTH AND DEATH. 213 back East it took a man a lifetime to clear his patch of forest" That was the view of a man who had fought Mor- monism for twenty years and had beaten it. For Mormonism is beaten to-day; as an organisation of life apart from the ...Gentile world Mormonism is quite dead. The white six-spired temple, which took forty years to build, with walls nine feet thick, and every comer wrought out of a single stone, is no more than its mausoleum.
From the first emigration in 1847, when Salt Lake City was the only bit of civilisation West of the Missouri, and wellnigh as hermetically sealed from the outer world as was America before Columbus, there were Gentiles in Utah. They were tolerated, but no mora But in 1868 came the Union Pacific^ and the huge bell that tolled from its engines was the death-knell of Mormonism as Church and State in ona The Gentiles increased : year by year there were contests for local offices, and though the People's Party — as the Mormons called themselves — always had the victory, the minority of the Liberals, or Gentiles, grew steadily smaller.
