Why did the Mormon decide to go to Utah?

The Mormons went to Utah to escape persecution and death at the hands of the mobs that had driven them out of other states.

In the early days of the Church there was a lot of prejudice against its members, and as result of the prejudice the early church members were chased out of one place after another. They had moved between New York, Illinois, Missouri ,and Ohio, and in Missouri the state actually passed a law making it legal to kill a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This Law stayed on the books until 1976.

The United States Government in response to the petitions of the Church members for help, effectively told them to get out of the country. So they sought an area that was far from other people.

The reason the Mormons left was because they had been kicked out of Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. They appealed to the federal government for assistance, but were told that the government could do nothing for them. So, they went where they knew they could practice their religion in peace - a land that was rumored to be uninhabitable - the valley of the Great Salt Lake.

Is Utah mid west or west?

Utah is a western state.

The term "Midwest" refers to the states of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin that are all located east of the Mississippi river. Some sources include Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri but those all form the western shoreline of the Mississippi. In some circles, Nebraska and Kansas are even included, which ignores that both are "Central Plains" states. The "Northern Plains" states are usually defined as being North and South Dakota.

These geographical reference labels were developed and taught widely in US schools during the 1800's and 1900's.

Will the state of Oregon extradite from the state of Utah on a misdemeanor warrant?

Realistically, in the budget crunch that all states are undergoing these days, they MAY not want to bother with bringing you back for a misdemeanor offense - HOWEVER - that being said - it cannot be 100% counted on to save you. All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - It is impossible to know with certainty whether a particular state will choose to extradite you for a particular offense, or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend, in part, on the offense and the seriousness of it, and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILL extradite for felony offenses.
