Rocky Ford enterprise., 1915-04-02

Knowing that during the days of the actual
Easter celebration would have little oppor
tunity to these things. owing to the great
crowds. we took occasion to visit them the day
following our arrival. Among the principal
places of interest in the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher the supposed tomb Of Christ, the
stone of unction the holy sepulcher, the Greek
church. the chapel OF st. Helena and Mount
Calvary.
The first OF the Easter services in the holy
city consists of the washing of feet" This
the Thursday before Good Friday. 1t
is Greek ceremony, short and unexciting and
takes place in the courtyard of the church Not
withstanding that 1t is unexciting every available
space in the courtyard and every commanding
window and rooftop occupied as the Greek
patriarch bathed the feet of twelve of his priests
as they were seated upon little platform
On the next day-Good Friday-we witnessed
the Latin ceremony of the crucifxion This is
interesting in way. but somewhat shocking to
the occidental idea This ceremony takes place
over what is said to be the actual site OF tho
crucifxion. 1t is performed before a cross on
which dummy figure has been nailed. At the
conclusion the figure is taken down from the
cross and placed in white sheet, the crown OF
thorns and the nails drawn from the hands and
feet" being placed on silver salvers After this
a procession is formed which leads to the stone
OF unction, where sermons are delivered IN SIX
different languages

the most important of all. There Is certain
mpressiveness about 1t, but the grandeur is lost
in the mad struggle between the Latin and
Greek worshipers that changes what should be
a solemn ceremony into veritable mob scene.
At the time we were there much talk was heard
of either abandoning this ceremony or greatly
modifying It, and must confess that all OF our
party agreed that unless it could be conducted
in an orderly manner it should certainly be aban-
doned

We watched the line forming for procession
where the Turkish soldiers were drawn up as

crowds during parade in this country. When
ever a Turk got in the crowd he was well handled
and assisted to a vantage point II he cared to
see, although for the most part the Turks would
not deign to look upon It. Whenever one of the
Christians was pushed by the crowd into the line

Although It was midday when We arrived and
the sun beat down mercilessly. many OF these
tired pilgrims had spread small scarf or shawl
across sticks and were sleeping in its shade.

highways round about Jerusalem were lined

collections were still rather slow. He
stated, however, that conditions would
undoubtedly improve, as the outlook
appears to be very r%eassuring. One
notable feature that was noticeable,
he stated, was that people were begin
ming to save their money, a habit ac-
quired during the stringency since the
war in Europe began.
Among the notable visitors in the
city this week were Nick Cohn, west
ern representative of the Allis-C CHAIN
ers Company Of Milwaukee, who were
the successful bidders for the new oil
engine to be installed at the light
plant; A. R. McMullen Of Minneapolis,
representing the Busch-Sulzer Com
pany of St. Louis, and Warren Her

were surprised at the rapid growth
the city had made since their last
visit here, and spoke highly of the
many civic improvements.
We notice by several papers in the
eastern part Of the state that Miss
Cortez Jackson, the lady from Butte
or Missoula, who probably intended to
open a school of shorthand and type
writing in this city, was in Fairview
last week attempting to get the mer-
chants of that city to back a scheme
of hers to organize a chain of schools
from Glendive to Glasgow. The Glen
dive Monitor says that she has prob
ably chosen another eastern terminal
as her connections there were broken
rather violently and her visit here was
of short duration, the lady leaving by
request.
Ford sales in this county are break
ing all former records. The Glasgow
Auto company sold three this week,
one being purchased by Emil Mytron,
one by the Western Realty company,
and one by Rudolph Sandy of Opheim.
All the cars which the company had
on hand have been sold and another
carload is now on the road. An en-
tirely new stock of Goodrich tires was
received this week and all the tires
in the old stock will be shipped back
to the company. The Goodrich COM
pany is making it their policy to see
that their dealers have only fresh tires
on hand so that they win give the
best possible service.

SACO MAN LOSES HOME.

The residence of c. w. Nelson OF
this city was totally destroyed by
fire Thursday forenoon. The build
ing and storehouse adjoining were en-
tirely destroyed and the barn, garage
ice house and other buildings were
saved only by the hardest kind OF
work. The fire is said to have start
ed from a stove in the dining room
and spread so rapidly that but very
little of the household goods were
saved. It was but a few minutes af.
ter the alarm was sounded that the
entire building was a mass Of flames
With a strong west wind blowing il
wal thought that other dwellings to
the east of the Nelson residence would
catch, but the distance no doubt saved
them.
The loss of valuable jewelry, furn'
iture, clothing, household goods, the
accumulation of years, made this fire
a very heavy financial loss to Mr.
Nelson. This is the second fire Of
this week, the Grill cafe having caught
fire last Monday evening. This fir
was very quickly put out, however
with but very little damage.-Sac'
