ONE Or THREE SWINGING
ERIDGEs DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Pemeta, Okla, Aug. 14.-With the
gradual going down Of the Cimarron
river flood. caused by the recent eX-
cessively heavy rains, il is possible
to get a line on the damage done by
fire and water. And 1t develops that
the total losses were greater than at
first believed. The fire was started
when lightning struck a $4,000 barrel
steel tank on the Carter farm and a
80 wooden tank on the McMan lease.
It spread to the river bed properties
quickly.
Tue heaviest loser is the OKLA OH
company, which recently secured valu-
able river bed properties. This com
pany lost four 500 barrel tanks, five
25o's. two gun barrel tanks and two oil
derricks. The samoset company also

many marked economies that we have
been able to put into effect these

Another noteworthy change in the
policy of the Anderson Electric Car
company for 1916 is the adoption of
the one-chasis basis production. This
one chassis has been brought to the
highest degree of perfection that the
worlds largest builders Of enclosed
cars can attain, and upon this one
chassis is built four body styles The
floor space of the plant has been
greatly augmented to facilitate and

Of motorists with each passing year
and the Detroit Electric represents the
highest type of the all year round,
every day, and all weather car. a
further reason for its popularity is the
fact that it can be as easily and safely
operated by mother, wife and daughter
as by the head of the family and con
scquently many men figure that they
get greater return for their invest
ment in the Detroit Electric than in
any other type of car. And, of course,
the Detroit Electric is car which
