The Armenian Church.

In their long wanderings the dispersed
people kept their altar lights burning
and the church became the soul of the
disembodied nation, whose faith and
patriotism grew into one. This Armen-
ian, or Gregorian church as 1t may be
called In honor Of its sanity founder. ID
q unique sect. 1t asserts its independ-
ence Of both the Roman and Greek
churches, although it's rites more nearly
resemble those Of the latter.
Its doctrinal differences with those
larger bodies belong to a1other age in
theology and are not to be easily grasp
ed by the modern mind. One Of its dis
tinguishing practices Is baptism by I'M
mersion. and I have seen II asserted that
an Armenian mother will not kiss her
infant babe until II has been baptized
and thereby transformed from heather
to q Christian.
The form Of church government IL Pc
culiar to itself and somewhat democratic.
The bishops may not marry, but the par.
ish priests must, and the monks al
elect their priests from among them
selves and they also choose the delegates
who elect the Hafholikos. This dignitary

In the youth Of that church, noble edi-

solitude of their pathetic but still beau

from the savage horizon, with the Koran

another between his teeth, and Armenia
became the first battle-ground in a Thou

and the Cross.

DIR. FARRER APPOINTED
COUNTY PHYSICIAN

Dr. Thos. D. Farrer was appointed
county physician Tuesday. After some
consideration the board of county
commissioners was able to make a bet
ter contract with DR.. Farrer than
with any of the other physicians who
were applicants for the position.
The bid of DIR. Farrar ives accepted
at $500 per year and a contract or
dered drawn. The county paid $4,000
for this service last year and the COM
missioners are much elated in secur-
ing the services at the lesser price.
DR.. Farrer will perform all neces-
sary operations and provide whatever
assistance he may need at the above
figure, which, however, does not in
clude insanity cases, medicine or hos
pital fees.
Aside from being county physician,
DR.. Farrer will also be the health Of
hcer and executive head of the medi-
cal work of the county.

FRANCE IS BUYING ONE
HUNDRED HORSES A
DAY IN THIS CITY

Unable to speak English, officers
of the French government are buying
horses for war purposes at the rate
of about 100 head a day at the Union
Stock Yards here.
The inspection began Wednesday
and will probably continue for a week
or more. The officers are anxious to
secure a large number of animals and
are accepting about 90 per cent of all
offered.
c. H. Turner, Of the Caldwell Horse
& Mule company, who are in charge
of the Stock Yards, stated yesterday
that in all probability there would be
at least one full train load Of horses
shipped from Caldwell at the con-
clusion of the present inspection. The
French officers are very much pleased
to lind so many good horses and will
take all they can get.
There are between 1000 and 1900
horses for inspection and the work is
being pushed as rapidly as possible.

MEETING OF PURE SEED
MEN WILL Be HELD
IN CALDWELL

Caldwell has put up $55000 for the
purpose of securing the next annual
pure seed convention. When the
Caldwell delegates were at Twin Falls
they asked for the next convention at
Caldwell. The matter was left in the
hands OF the executive committee Of
the pure seed association until the
Caldwell delegates could assure the
association that the expense and prize
money would be forthcoming. Messrs
Tobias, GIBSON and others interested
will at once notify the association that
Caldwell stands ready to make good.
There is no doubt but that the con-
vention will be held in Caldwell next
winter.

club held Tuesday evening resolutions

lature to make the assessment appro-

LEMON SUSPECTS COMMITS
SIONERS OF A SCHNANAGAN
Are Trying to Reconcile High Price
and Campaign Promises.

The county commissioners at their
meeting Wednesday considered coun-
ty printing. A number of bids were
submitted ranging from three quarters
of a cent per line to 10 cents per line.
These bids complied in every respect
with the advertisement for bids but
the commissioners deferred action.
Mr.. Lemon, one of the bidders, sus
poets that the county commissioners
have a favorite to whom they wish to
award the county printing and have
deferred action until after party lead
ers have time to reconcile the higher
bid and the prediction promises of
the county officers.
The Tribune can see no reason why
the printing should not be awarded
to the paper offering to do the work
for three quarters of a cent. 1t GER
tainly is cheap enough If the price
has nothing to do with the contract
why were bids asked for incidentally
we will state that The Tribune made
no bid on the work Other newspa-
pers may be able to do such work at
the price named, but we cannot.
The commissioners left yesterday
morning for Emmett. They will in
spect that section of the county.
