The people in the section around
Chisholm, Mimi, say that it is the
driest year that they have ever known.
The woods and the brush growth on
cut-over land are as dry as tinder and
fires can be seen in as many as a half
dozen places at one time, starting
from what no one knows. The natives
give various causes of how the flames
start. the most popular of which are
sparks from engines, hunters and
campers, careless brush-burning by
homesteaders and incendiaries. One
man even advanced the theory of
spontaneous combustion. and did not
seem to like it when l told him that l

5000 people would have been cremat-
ed in their beds, so quick were the
flames, or what would have happened

and their children who might have

week. Il was at five o'clock in the
afternoon that the fire entered the
city in the clutch of a gale from the
northwest and laid the place In ruins
in less time than it takes to ell it.
Up to within a half hour before the
flames caught the town the people
were confident that there was no dan
ger, and, with few exceptions, went
about their business as usual.
When the fire came all were panic
stricken, and grabbing the few things
nearest at hand, which in numerous
cases were not articles of the great
est usefulness, fled the town, many
making for the iron mines near by

was spared by the flames were the two
churches, the beautiful s125 900 high
school. the grammar school, and two
blocks of dwellings on opposite sides
of town. which were saved because of
a peculiar shifting of the wind.
One. of the fortunate things about
the fire was that it struck Chisholm
awake in the afternoon instead of at
night after all were asleep. There
was no loss of life as it was, but had
the flames swept in in the dark the
holocaust which would have resulted
would have been most horrible, for
The Elbert County tribune., 1908-10-22

thought this was hardly the case. In
many sections up here the ground is
of peat bog formation and spark may
burn for weeks after it finds lodging
before it is famed into a fame.
1t is hard and practically impos-
sible to figure losses accurately at this
time, and it will be weeks before even
an approximate estin lite that is final
can be made. Cruisers will have to
be sent over the burnt-over areas be-
fore close figures can be obtained and
the timber owners say that it is alb
solutely useless to do anything in this
line until a heavy rain comes and
the end of the fires is assured.
Putting the losses low, to be on the
safe side, they are commonly agreed
to be $5,000,000 to $10.00O,O0O. The
majority of people say about $5,000,-
900. This is considered conserva-
tive estimate by those who have been
over most of the ground. At five per
cent. interest the amount of capital
lost would yield s250,000 a year. This
is worth contrasting with what the
state forestry board now has to spend
for protection. 1t has an appropria-
ton OF S11.500.
The burning of the prosperous little
town of Chisholm OH the Mesabi iron
range is the item of loss which figures
most prominently in conversations
with all who have anything to say
about the forest fire destruction to
date. The people in this country are
used to fires, and hardly feel at home
unless there is the smell of smoke
in the air. Until the flames menace a
town or very valuable stand of tim
ber they are fairly Indifferent to the
danger.
A striking evidence of this over-con-
fident feeling of safety was given on
the day of the Chisholm fire, the losses
in which are now conservatively esti.
mated at $1.250.0oO to $1,000 900, In

with this brief statement, which may

1t on the walls and at the same time
acquire large collection OF German
verses.
The simplest statement is not in
trusted to plain prose, but everything
is told In rhyme. No other castle in
the world is said to have quite so
much poetry on it. Rhymes on the
gate, walls, stairways, tablets, es-
cutcheons, scrolls and in festoons set
forth the genealogy of the Hohenzol-
lern family from the earliest time to
tho present.
That a castle may have too much
poetry about It Hechingen firmly be-
lieves. 1t thinks, moreover, that IL
there had been less of it, or IL what
there was had been of better quality,
the kaiserin might not have got tired
and might have deigned to return
Her majesty came here once" said
a Hechingen man who seemed to know
all about Hohenzollern. "At first she
was enthusiastic over the castle, its
superb situation and its architectural
beauty, and she started in to study the
building.
"The inscriptions over the gate
caught her eye and she read them.
She continued to read as she walked
on. She read verse after verse, until
finally when she had finished with the
genealogical hall she asked to be
shown to the royal apartments.
There were more rhymes there.
She went into the library and there
were more there. Then she went
away. They say that the verses got
on her nerves and that she could not

Hechingen, Germany.-"Why doesn't
the kaiser or the kaiserin ever come

question that they are asking these
days, not only in the ancient provinces
of Hohenzollern, but throughout south
western Germany.

he has apparently not given a
thought to the ancestral home of the
imperial family of Germany. which is
all ready for royal tenant, and which
the people OF Hohenzollern are desir-
GUS should have one"
This magnificent pile is situated on
a wooded spur of the Swabian Alb,
Just above Hechingen. For this rea-
son, although the castle dominates the
landscape OF almost the whole of Ho-
henzollern, Hechingen takes an espe-
cial interest in the structure and
would say it If it were not lese ma
jeste that 1t is hurt at the kaiser's
neglect.
THE old kaiser, Wilhelm l., came
often to the CASTLE" said one Of the
citizens, "and seemed to take consider
able pride in it. Many of the royal
family or members of the Prussian
court used to come and there was
some representative of the house on
