DEWEY ESTATE DIVIDED

NAMPA-Final partitioning Of the
estate of the late w. Fl. Dewey .esti-
mated at close to one million dollars
in value, was accomplished here Sat

tiations which have extended over
several weeks. Mrs. w. Fl. Dewey.

dren, Mrs. Robert Davis, e. II. and
w. G. Dewey, all share alike in the

Dewey having active charge, while
the shares now belonging to Mrs.
Dewey and Mrs. Davis will be more or
less pooled and will be cared for by
Mr.. Davis, who has already opened
an office in the Hickey building.
BY the terms of the settlement
reached between the heirs the Dewey
Palace hotel in this city becomes the
property of Mrs. Dewey and Mrs.
Davis. That this had been agreed on
several days ago, was currently rum
ored on the streets. No statement
could be obtained from Mr. Davis Sat
urday evening as to what disposition
the new owners may make Of this
property, estimated as worth more
than two hundred thousand dollars.
Messrs. E. H. and w. G. Dewey now
have title to the Dewey-Scales build
ing on Main street and the Everitt
building on Front street. The broth
ers also acquire the big Marsh & Ire
ton ranch near Montour, and to most
of the land holdings in Long Valley
The two women obtain the Looney &
Cakes ranch, which adjoins the Marsh

The remainder of the property
which consists of notes, mortgages,
bonds, stock, Nampa city lots and
scattered realty interests and totals

the four heirs by way of equalizing
the settlement. The .supposition is
that the brothers received the larger
share of these holdings.

AUSTRIAN YOUTHS IN WAR

The Austrian newspapers are deyot- the part played by schoolboys in the present war. They are-affectionately termed the War boys" and in the op- eratlons in eastern Galicia they were of great assistance to the troops.
 In some of the artillery battles. es pecially those which centered around Czernovitz and Weinberg schoolboys in large numbers braved the shells and carried water and ammunition for the troops.
 After battle they would go over the field and gather pieces of shrapnel and the shells of cartridges to be made over again into ammunition. Occa- sionally a boy thus sacrificed his life. but this did not deter the ardor of his companions.
 Many of the boys followed the in- fantry regiments and fought and slept with the soldiers in the trenches. The boys who remained at home took the place of their fathers and brothers who were at the front
 The story is told of a fourteen-year- old youngster who all alone managed the biggest hotel in Czernovitz. He looked personally after his own cashier and sbookkeeper. Other boys peddled goods among the soldiers and so earned a good living for their mothers.
 Some became guides, and many an army automobile had as guide bright schoolboy who sat beside the chauf- fear and showed him the right road.
 It IS said that when the history of this war is written the schoolboys of Austria will deserve prominent place in it's pages.

flame was very clear. venerable bearded priest stood beside the lamp. His discourse was earnest and solemn. Both man and woman hearers were very attentive
 The ceremonies of worship are quite simple, but the mysteries of the faith may be less so. The Parsees who have been educated in England and many of those whose English educa- tion has been obtained in Bombay resent the designation of fire worship CTS
 One of them gave me a monograph. written by a Parsee barrister in Lon- don, which explained the creed of the followers of Zoroaster as one of good thoughts, good words and good deeds, with the sacred flame as a symbol of the effulgence of the deity. It is not denied, however. that contact with Hindus and Mohammedans has caused corruptions to creep into the creed. The Hindus and Moslems regard the Parsees as fire worshipers.
 It was on New Year day that drove out to Malabar hill, where are located the Towers of Silence, or the Parsee cemetery Every traveller takes this drive. It is past the other ceme- teries, Christian and Mohammedan burial grounds and the Hindu burning ghat. The cemetery of the Christians is no longer used, but on almost any day there will be Mohammedan fu- nerals and Hindu cremations.
 On this day there were two Moham- medan funerals and three parties of Hindu mourners, with their respective burdens at the burning ghat.
 Malabar hill is the choice spot over looking the Arabian sea Within the cemetery grounds are fagstone steps, shaded walks and arbors and bowers. luxuriant vegetation covers the rocks, and there is everything that thslltt goes to make beautiful garden of flowers.
 The towers x.ef Silence, of which there are five. are hardly towers at ~Gfl. They are about 275 feet in cir conference and perhaps 25 feet high. The material is whitewashed stone and cement or mortar. A near ap- proach to the towers is not allowed to strangers to the Parsee creed, nor is entrance permitted to the fire tenn pie, where the sacred fire is kept alive and seven kinds of incense are burned
 A model of the towers is shown in the registry room and an attendant ex- plains them to visitors. The attend ant explained to me the circular rows in which the bodies were placed-one for the children, one for the women and one for the men. When the bodies have been stripped of their leshly covering by the yultures, which takes perhaps half an hour, the bones re main for a while, and are then dropped into well in the center, which is provided with drains and water fushes. Charcoal is the chief purifier.
 On this New Year day there was a Parsee funeral. which could be ob- served only at respectful distance There were the four professional body bearers. with the bier on their shoul- ders, and procession of perhaps fifty
The Carlisle independent., 1915-12-30

mourners in their white robes walking two abreast, each pair holding hand kerchief. The Parsee accounts say that the body is received by two beard ed attendants at the entrance to the towers, and that by them the shroud is removed and then yultures do the rest. This is probably what happened that day
 All I could note on this occasion was a sudden movement of the vultures in the palm trees. There seemed to be hundreds of them. They paused for a minute on the outer edge of one of the towers and then disappeared within. In a few minutes they re- appeared.
 The Parsee method of disposing of the dead is, perhaps, as the Parsees say, more sanitary than the Christian burial in the earth, or even than the Hindu cremation. It meets the tenet of their faith that fire, water and earth are too sacred to be polluted. But the western mind cannot become ac- customed to it.
 In conclusion, it may be said that there are other New Year observ- ances in India besides the New Year of the Christians, Mohammedans, Hin dus and Parsees. There is a Chinese colony in Bentinck street, Calcutta, and the Chinese there observe the New Year as they do in the United States, or in any other section of the world in which they are found.
