NATIVE ARMENIAN
WILL DISCLOSE HORRORS

Rev. M. Hagopian arrived this
morning from Potlatch, and is on
hand to deliver his lecture "My
Escape from the Bloody Sword of the
Turk" tomorrow night at the Naza-
rene tabernacle, at Third and AL
mond streets.
This will be an excellent oppor-
tunity for the people of Moscow to
acQuaint themselves anew with the
sad conditions of a people who have
suffered martyrdom, in modern times
for the testimony of the Christian
faith. The story of starving Armenia
is perhaps the darkest chapter of the
worlds history.
The speaker of tomorrow evening
comes with his message made real
and vivid to his own heart by the
fact that his father, mother, and most
of his brothers and sisters, have been
the unfortunate victims of cruel mas
sacres. And even now, while this son
of the martyred race is pleading FOR
his people, he has a sister who is the
unwilling captive of the bloody Turk.
Thirty years ago Mr.. Hagopian was
born in a happy home somewhere in
central Armenia. Thousands of his
people, his story goes, were living
contented. peaceful lives, worshiping
the God of their fathers in freedom
of conscience, but today their homes
are destroyed, and their land has
been laid waste by the sword and
fire of the blood thirsty followers of
Mohammed During the past six
years more than million of these
Christians have suffered death by
starvation, or have been murdered in
cold blood, at the hands of their
awful enemy.
Every one is most cordially invited
to hear this young man tell his story.

MANY CHILDREN
TO HEALTH CLINIC
DIR. ALMOND EXAMINES MORE
THAN 100 IN TWO DAYS-C0ME
FROM LONG DISTANCES

| More than one hundred children
| from all parts of Latah county, were
examined during the two days clinic
at this place, closed Friday evening,
by DR.. F. w. Almond, director of the
Idaho bureau of child hygiene, and
Miss w. A. Robinson, public health
nurse, with DR.. ]. H. Einhouse of
this city assisting, and with the La
tab County Public Health association
cooperating.
Mothers brought their children
for many miles to consult the doctor
regarding their health, some coming
as far as rs miles. They came from
Kendrick, Princeton, Potlatch, Har-
ward and practically every commun-
ity in the county, the public interest
being much greater than was antici-
pated. The advantage, as pointed out
by DR.. Almond, is that many mothers
bring their children for examination
on such occasions who, for some
reason, do not take them to a physic-
ian, even though they need care. A
considerable number of children were
found who had physical defects that
their parents were unaware of, and
who will, no doubt, now have the
needed medical, or surgical care.
lie lOilOWluS statement regarding
the work was made by DR.. Almond:
"The purpose of the Idaho bureau
of child hygiene is to give informa-
ton concerning the health of mothers
and babies. Every Idaho baby can
not be born into a luxurious home
but it is the right of every Idaho
baby to be well born and to be born
into healthy home If every baby
is so born, the home, the community
and the state are richer, for as the
safety of a building depends upon it's
so the safety of a race
depends upon it's foundation-the |
baby. And just as it is needless to
repair the building if it's foundation
is weak, so it is useless to try to build
up strong civilization except
through healthy children Physicians
tell us that many of the ills of child
hood and many of the serious ills of
the mothers can be prevented by the
proper care of the mother during the
months prior to the birth of the baby.
The state bureau of child hygiene
has prepared a series of letters for
expectant mothers. They deal with
he care that the mother should take
of herself in order to have a strong
healthy baby. If any mother would
ike these letters for herself or friend.
please send name and address and
he approximate date of confinement

SAYS NORTH IDAHO FURNISHES
VALUABLE STATE OFFICIALS

James r. Stotts, field representa-
tive of the state insurance depart
ment, spent several days in Moscow
this week, leaving Saturday for his
home in Boise. Mr.. Stotts was for
many years connected with the Capt.
to1 News, Boise, and is one of the
states we'll known newspaper men.
He had not visited Moscow before in
IL years and was pleased with the
improvements, and with the excel
lent crop prospects.
Mr.. Stotts stated that this section
of north Idaho has furnished two
valuable men of the present official
family at Boise in Mark A Means of
Lewiston, commissioner of agricul-
ture, and E. w. Porter of Juliaetta,
commissioner of finance. Both, he
said, are doing excellent work and
are gaining the highest standing
throughout the state.
Mr.. Stotts stated that in his opinion
the building of the north and south
highway was one of the most i'm
portant things which could have been
accomplished for the state, linking
the north and south together. In it's
wake, he says, will come a north and
south railroad, with coastal connec-
tions, which will practically do away
with the states geographic division.

Find Agency Deserted

We left Bannack on August nth,
there being in my party Pat Dempsey,
Charles Turner, George Sperry, Chas.
Mcintosh and myself. Heading up
Horse Prairie creek we took up the
Indian trail and followed it closely
over the side of the mountain to the
head of thhe Lemhi valley. We arrived
there the following day and concluded
that the wisest course would be to
go down to the Lemhi agency after
reinforcement of friendly Lemhi In
dians. However, in arriving at the
agency we found it deserted. All of
the Lemhis had gone to Salmon City
at the approach of the Nez Perces.
We rested Our horses and slept for
a few hours. as we had been in the
saddle all night. While we were camp
ed. Colonel George 1. Shoup and
man known as 'Red" Mcdonald came
along and informed us they We're go
ing to Junction where Colonel Shoup
expected to meet five of his l2-mule
teams, loaded with general merchan-
disc from Corinne, the nearest ship
ping point on the Union Pacific for
the Salmon river mines. He feared
that his freighters would be caught at
Birch creek by the Nez Perces. We
decided to accompany him, and start
ed up the river. At Eight Mile we
found. where the Indians had camped
the night before.
Nez Perces Avoid Settlement
The next day we arrived ut Junction
where the settlers were found to be
strongly fortified and unmolested,, as
the Nez Perces were not looking for
trouble they had gone around the set
tlement.
