τῆς δὲ λεύκης μόνης τοῖς ξύλοις ἐς τοῦ Διὸς τὰς θυσίας καὶ ἀπʼ οὐδενὸς δένδρου τῶν ἄλλων οἱ Ἠλεῖοι χρῆσθαι νομίζουσι, κατʼ ἄλλο μὲν οὐδὲν προτιμῶντες ἐμοὶ δοκεῖν τὴν λεύκην, ὅτι δὲ Ἡρακλῆς ἐκόμισεν αὐτὴν ἐς Ἕλληνας ἐκ τῆς Θεσπρωτίδος χώρας.

The sentence has an infinitival construction χρῆσθαι νομίζουσι with οἱ Ἠλεῖοι as subject; δοκεῖν is parenthetical, with προτιμῶντες agreeing with the Eleans. The final ὅτι-clause gives the reason for preferring the poplar. Case government around χρῆσθαι and the exact attachment of κατʼ ἄλλο are somewhat idiomatic.

καί μοι καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ Ἡρακλῆς ἐφαίνετο, ἡνίκα τῷ Διὶ ἔθυεν ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ, τῶν ἱερείων τὰ μηρία ἐπὶ λεύκης καῦσαι ξύλων·

The infinitive phrase καῦσαι ξύλων depends on the impersonal/passive-looking ἐφαίνετο (‘it seemed/apparent’), with μηρία as its object and λεύκης ξύλων as a partitive/material phrase; ἡνίκα introduces the temporal clause.
