Every available fire man was in service, but after a two hour battle the flames had roared through the A. G. Polland company's five-story department store, and a four-story building housing the Ma sonic temple and several business con cerns, causing a loss of $1,000,000. Three other buildings adjoining those destroyed were threatened, and fire fighters were concentrating their efforts with water curtains to prevent a general conflagration. Half the city was in semi-darkness under a pall of smoke. At 8 o'clock it appeared that the conflagration was becoming under control, although the firemen were hampered by numerous alarms from other sections of the city, where less er fires were started by embers car ried by a stiff westerly wind.
