FOR reelection. The whole repub-

swept into Office and the city will be
under republican control for the next

date for collector was elected over
w. e. Price by the bare majority Of
six votes and late at night there
was talk Of contest on the part of
the democratic nominee. At the last
hour the fight conferred on. Logan and
the democrats used all their power
to defeat him, but it is without suc-
cess. For members of the board of
AFFAIRS j. H. Dunn, republican, was
elected over E. w. Warwick, demo

councilmen were elected, seven OF
whom are republicans. They are:
Walter Gernig, j.. H.. Daniels G. f.

was in the election OF Mcfarland

TWO Of the fire departments were

prevent the Droperty's destruction.
The best they could do was to protect
adjoining property.
The old refinery site was covered
with frame buildings and numerous
tanks Of all sizes, some. of them very
large reservoirs. Some of them were
full Of oil, others half-full, and, sew
eral were empty. All. of them burned.
Al 3 o'clock ten tanks, most of
them containing crude oil, had been
destroyed, and a series Of smaller
tanks located on the river bank had
begun to burn. All Of the buildings,
the. office buildings and the tank
sheds, had been completely destroy
ed. The wind was toward the river,
and the adjoining properties were
saved.
1t was very hard fire to combat
In fact, pouring water on it only
served to increase It's strength. The
