in response to the request of the State
Board of Health, the City Board Of
Health compiled the figures OF suspi-
cious and actual cases of yellow fever
and deaths and the figures as issued
by the state board show between July

circular to every physician in the city
urging the prompt report of all cases

check for several hours. but finally
spread over large area.
Covering an area of three.(1arters
of a mile square. with great canopy
Of smoke covering two square miles.
the oil tanks of the Texas company
continue to boil and bubble under the
great heat Of the burning oil, the 1re
having burned since Sunday.
When it can be extinguished no one
guesses. Certainly not until 1t has
burned all of the oil in the eleven big
tanks, which held 2,5OO,OO0 barrels
when lightning struck them Sunday
afternoon.
The loss of life in the oil fields as
near as can be ascertained Is twelve.
but no names can be ascertained. The
company declines to make any esti-
mate of its loss or to give out any in.
surance figures. but oil men place the
loss at 2,5O0.0OO barrels of oil. valued
at 1852, 500; pumping plant, damage

will be enormous.
There are hundreds OF homeless peo-
pie, many of whom are only awaiting
a train to go to Houston. for shelter.
They were living In tents and shacks
in the oil field and fed for their lives
to the town, away from danger. They
left all their belongings and they have
been destroyed by fire. which runs out
toward the oil field. though it has not
been communicated to any of the der
ricks or wells.
Shortly after the big tank began to
blaze 200 workmen with seventy five
mules were hurried to the place to
throw up earthen embankments to con-
fine the fire to the tank where it origi-
mated.
Some of them mounted mules and
got out. but at least forty of the
mules baked and were cremated.
Five negroes were seen to &C down
then and it is not believed possible

As matter of fact, Governor Car

THE FIJI THIS
AMBITION
Wants a Schoolhouse
and an Extended
Street.

The eleventh precinct Republicans
of the Fifth District held meeting
last evening on the lanai of the Ka-
Hhi-waena school, and adopted resolu-
tions for recommendation to the Legis-
lature covering needs of the precinct
and of the whole district.
Ben Fabian presided and there was Il
fair attendance of voters present Mr..
Schnack introduced a resolution ask
ing for $4,000 for the extension of
Vineyard street into the Fifth District
Mr.. Cooke amended this so that it
would read "a sufficient amount to
cover the expense of the extension
and in this form the motion passed.
1t is proposed to request that the street
be cut through as far as Houghtailing
street.
Then came the question of new
school house for the district. Mr..
Cooke said the district, or the pre-
cinct, needed a ten-room school house.
The Fourth District had some large anu
fine schools, the ROYAL. Kaahumanu.
and the Normal in course of construc-
ton, and others. Mr. TagEart, prin-
cipal of the Kalihi-waena school, hao
told him that $4,000 might cover the
cost of a ten-room school. He did not
believe the amount was sufficient A
fine school building, worth $50 900,
should be erected.
Mr.. Taggart then stated that seven
years ago Minister Cooper had called
him from Wainae to take charge of the
Kalihi-waena school, and he accepted
on the strength of Mr.. Cooper's state
ment that a new school was to be built
there. Mr.. Taggart stated further that
he had talked with Superintendent of
Public instruction Atkinson about the
matter and had been assured that the
department had finished the big schools
for the central part of the city, and it
was now prepared to go ahead with the
building of schools in the suburbs Ka-
hhi-waena was to receive attention,
and Mr.. Atkinson had stated to him
that he was ready to do whatever he
could for the district The idea was to
centralize schools for the higher grades
into one big Kalihi-waena school.
The matter of asking the government
to continue the extension of School |
street was discussed and acted upon
favorably.
