GREAT CHICAGO FIRE
RECALLED BY MR.. HOFF

This week We were reminded by
President Henry III. Hoff that on the
9th of October which Is next Sunday
is the 50th anniversary of the great
Chicago fire. the first great catastro-
ply to mar the endeavors of thrifty
American people in their efforts to
build a great nation. Mr.. Hoff was
a resident Of Chicago at that time,
and being in his 23rd year the great
disaster made such an impression on
his mind that today, fifty long years
later, he can relate with accuracy,
many of the outstanding features OF
tho conflagration.
Mr.. Hoff was asked to write q brief
description OF the fire for the Ex-
aminer. and we reproduce his YER
sion of the fire as follows:
I am again reminded OF the great
Chicago Conflagration and especial
ly so because this 9th day OF October
IL will be the 50th anniversary, al

me are as fresh and plain as ever
1t seems TO me hardly possible that II

event has been stamped 30 perma-
mently in my life that | cannot get
away from It.
On October 9th, 1871. a woman by
the name of Mrs. O'Leary. was milk
ing cow and had a lantern by her
side, and through some way the COW
stepped to one side and knocked the
lantern over which Immediately set
The straw on fire in the little barn,
and from that beginning there was
10000 houses and buildings des-
troyed and Il was estimated that $50
lives were lost and the loss was es-
tlmated to be $3.50, 900 900. The
fire burned for about three days and
during that length of time one could
read q newspaper at any time, with.
out any other light, and the nexi

23 TRAINS I'm
- HOURS

On Sunday n total of % freight
trains were sent out of the local
yarda in 23 hours and 45 minutes,
lone freight train every hour. The
Oregon Short Line is taxed to capac-
gty IN keeping the cars on the move,
and railroad employees are the busi-
est men on earth these days. The
men are working long shifts, and in
many instances train crews having
Euday lay-overs here were drafted
into service last Sunday to take spec
Rial trains over the first district.
The fact that railroad business Is
the heaviest in history shows a Nigh
Ity healthy condition, and it means
much to Montpelier. The railroad
payroll is back to normal or better
and indications are that business will
continue for some time to come.

The Wiesbaden Accord

The signing of a special repara-
ton agreement between France and
Germany is the first fruit of the con-
ciliatory policy of Chancellor Wirth
and Walter Rathenau. Rathenau, the
new German Minister of Reconstruct
ton, is one of the great industrials
of Germany-the rival Of Hugo
SHINES. Unlike SHINES, who in
suited the Allied spokesman at Spa,
Rathenau is progressive who has
fully accepted the consequences Of
the war and who believes that Ger
many ought to fulfill her treaty obi
cations as far as she humanity can.
In this spirit he suggested the
Wiesbaden conferences with Louis
Loucheur, the French Minister for
the Devastated Regions. Loucheur
is also a captain of industry, a bust
ness man whom the urgencies Of the
time have drafted into the field of
craftsmanship. These two men have
met and subjected the PREPARATION
stipulations of the Versailles Treaty
to q critical analysis. They have
agreed that notifications ought to
be made for the benefit of France as
we'll as of Germany. M. Loucheur
has accepted Rathenau's proposition
that Germany be allowed to dis
charge large part Of her debt in
kind, rather than in money. Goods
to the value of 100000 gold
marks will be delivered by May,
1926, and system will be set up by
which the present friction over res
titution Of livestock, railroad cars
and machinery will be eliminated.
France has revised the PREPARATION
provisions Of the treaty so far as
they concern her. The business
aspects of the PREPARATION settlement
are now being regarded and empha-
sized. Wiesbaden has produced re-
suits which could never have been
produced by the Spa methods. But
that is only because Germany is now
willing to be represented by an en-
lightened liberal of Rathenau's type,
instead of a coarse blusterer like
SHINES.

Of who they are.
Thus the intimate analysis of what
some of our more prominent literary
celebrities eat for breakfast, what
color dressing gowns they wear,
what brand of cigars they smoke,
how many hours day they dictate
to their numerous secretaries will
all be missing from our daily pro-
gram, and the corresponding release
of our energies must inevitably tend
to raise the average standard of in
telligence
If, for example, we could be oper-

''Lightnin S -" Appeal
Dry EIumor of a Vanished Frontier
Type New to Broadway

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial "The Endurance

seems to me that enough has been LEFT

Although l should be the last person
to attempt an explanation Of why New
Workers. focked to "Lightnin'," can tell
why I liked the play. On the frontier
in days past nearly every man drank,
and most Of them too much. Drinking
and gambling were regarded as relax
these peculiar views, and proncness
to profanity, conduct was just about
straight. Yes, straight is the word
And there were dry humor and quick,
accurate judgment of character. Ny
theory is that this type is new to
Broadway, or, at least, never so fault

Doubtless sLightnins" humor is
what the people liked best; its unex-

that he "drove a swarm Of bees across
the plains his audience is not ex-

voce "never lost bee His hearers
remember it, and they DO not forget
