NEW ELECTRIC
PUMPS AT RIVER
BY MIDSUMMER
ELECTRICIANS, CRAFTSMEN AND
SURVEYORS BUSY FINISHING
THE PRELIMINARIES

Before the parching days of sum-
mer Parco will have available 1000
gallons per minute of Platte river
water from the new pumping system
now being laid out by P. & R. engin-
GERS.
The new installation will get cleo
trio power from the generator room
at the Parco power house over an
1900 volt transmission system, for
which surveys and plans are now
being carried out.
Two pumping stations will be es-
tablished, each containing a total of
four hundred horsepower in steady
electric pumping machinery.
New equipment and new construc-
ton provided for under this project
includes the two new pumping sta
tons mentioned, four 2OO-horse-
power 2300-volt motors for towering
the giant pumps, two substations for
stepping the transmitted current up
to 1900 volts at Parco and down
again to motor voltage at the river,
and five miles Of high tension trans
mission line.
Actual construction is now getting
under way.

GAS LINE IS
PUSHED U
FOUR MILES

Hard work on the part OF the con
structors Of the Parco-Hatfeld gas
line has brought the long six-inch
pipe to a point eight and e~ight-tenths
miles southwest Of Parco. The half
way point has been passed, and the
engineers schedule has been exceed
ed for certain parts OF the work. The
d1tching Is progressing at the rate
of half a mile a day, and the ditch
ing machine works less than a mile
ahead of the pipe layers.
Ten miles of pipe has been strung
along the site of the line, and be-
hind the pipe-ftting gangs Iaborers
have backflled sever miles Of com
pleted line.
h greatest abstacle to success
so far overcome is the construction
OF nj swamp section" a few miles
out. Here water impedes the laying
OF pipe, and the section was at first
Jumped" Now, however, ingenious
engineers have devised methods
which make rapid progress possible.

Denny Is noted in the Hollywood

Old-Timers Colyum
ONE YEAR AGO IN PARCo

Progress at Parco for the week
ending May g., 1923, was rapid. Glenn.
ems, O'Brien and Mercil, the first
Parco stillmen, were operating the
first three Dr. four stills of the old
first battery, and had made so much
gasoline hat a line to the loading
rack for making shipments was un.
der construction.
Stills numbers S, 6, and 8 were
being fitted up for use. Vapor lines,
safety valves, and other fittings were
being installed preparatory to the
final tests, before the stills were
turned over to the operating depart
ment. Additional rundown tanks
were being rushed to completion,
tests being run on some Of them
during construction.
On May 6. 1923, the big Ohio
locomotive crane now such a famil-
lar sight at the refinery arrived. Rush
work setting it up ready for use
was under way a year ago today. AS
soon as the great crane had been as
sembed, an extension boom was at
tached to 1t, in order to lift steel
for the Dubbs towers.
j. G.. Whites men were swarming
around the Dubbs plant site COM
mencing the stack and laying funda-
tons for the expansion chambres
and 100-foot dephlegmator towers
Rumors of additional housing ac-
commodations were floating about
camp. Bunk houses were filed al
most to capacity, and construction
work was increasing.

R TO HAVE
VOTING PRECINCT
FALL ELECTION

The Board of County Commission
ers has assured residents of Parco
that at the fall election they will
have an election precinct Of their
W. and that all qualified voters will
be able to vote right at Parco.
The Commissioners will not desig-
nate the various voting precincts in
the county until the regular meet
ing which will be held on the first
Tuesday in July.
1t is probable that Parco will step
out this fall as one of the largest
precincts in Carbon county as there
will undoubtedly be considerably
over 100 votes cas- here in the No

& " RDaIey

Washington, June 11.-With
the Republican National Conven-
ton under way at Cleveland. and
the Democratic gathering due
next week, Washington has been
deserted by the political leaders,
especially since the adjournment
of Congress last Saturday. The
hub-bub of the legislative assemb-
lies has been stilled only to be re-
placed by noisy and nerve-wrack-
ing political campaigns. The
general exodus of legislators
from the Capital City has been
accompanied by a feeling that
their political careers would be
drastically changed at the No
vember elections. Reports reach
ing here show that a spirited con-
test will be conducted in almost
every congressional district as
contrasted with the other years
when the contested districts
numbered less than one hundred.
1t seems that in many local.
ties the resentment against polit-
ical Sins" of Congress. whether
of commission or omission,
has taken definite form in strong
movements to replace the pres
ent incumbents. At present the
signs point to an election based
more upon the records of indi-
viduals than upon their party af-
filiations. The growth of this
sentiment, particularly in the
rural district. is quite disconcert-
ing to political leaders.
If the frank and somewhat
caustic letters of various pri-
vate citizens received by MEM
bers of Congress may be taken

LARGE ATTENDANCE
AT LAND CLEARING
University Men and Manufae-
turers' Representatives Have
Big Day at Askov.

About 500 people saw the land
clearing demonstration put on
by the University Land Clearing
Expedition at Askov Tuesday.
While the purpose Of the DEM
onstration is not 50 much 70
teach anyone how 10 go about
the work for the farmers who
have spent many years in this
cut-over region are pretty well
acquainted with that, II never
theless serves a purpose. 1t is
a demonstration and is just as
much for the purpose Of showing
where the big machinery is not
useful as TO show where il can
be used to good advantage and
with economic gain.
Employed in this demonstra-
tion we're tractors, stump pullers,
trucks, lime spreaders. breaking
plows, etc. II seemed to be the
opinion Of many that some Of the
heavier implements could not be
used to good advantage in fields
where there are still many
stones.
The evening meeting which
was held at the school house ow-
ing to lack Of room in the train
was attended by about $50 peo-
pie. Chief among the speakers
was ]. H. Hay. from the State De-
partment of Agriculture, who
pointed out that there is no dam
ger Of over-production in the
dairy industry citing many fig
ures to strengthen his view.
Prof. VIM. Boss, chief. Division
|of Agricultural Engineering. H.
B. White, s. b. Cleland and A. J..
Schwantes also spoke. Time and
space will not permit review.
They were all given close atten-
ton. The exhibits at the train
were also interesting and were
studied by many.

as reliable expression of neigh
borhood opinion. and this is not
always the case as letter writer's
are usually in the minority the
record Of the present Congress is
not at all pleasing to the public.
However. in fairness. it must be
said that Congress performed as
well as could be expected in view
of changing political condition
For instance. it passed bills deal.
ing with immigration. adjusted
compensation for soldiers, child
labor, taxes. appropriations. and
numerous legislative measures OF
a minor nature. II is true that
the Congress failed to make good
extravagant promises for agricul,
tural relief. Perhaps some sig.
nificance may be attached to the
fact that Congress kept alooi
from foreign affairs and the
transportation problem. a subject
which agitates organized labor.
Regardless of the question now
absorbing the attention Of pro-
fessional debaters and politicians
as to whether the Senate is
deteriorating. the members OF
the Upper House found time in
the tumultuous days of investiga-
ton to approve 81 treaties with
foreign countries, out Of the 36
submitted for consideration.
There has been considerable
criticism of the motives which
actuated various legislative
measures. Some good citizens
contend that the bonus and
postal salary increase measures
were approved by Congress pri.

TWO ASKOv BOYS
POISONED BY ROOTS
Elmer and Viggo Lunde in
A Serious Condition
Several Hours.

Mr.. and Mrs. Hans Lunde's two
boys. Elmer and viggo. about 0
and 10 years old. had an expert
ence last Friday that came very
near costing them their lives.
While working in the field late
in the afternoon the boys came
upon some wild parsnips which
they commenced eating. As they
seemed to taste all right and
something like carrots the boys
apparently had their fill. Soon
both became i'll and started home
ward. The smallest Of the boys
-Viggo--seemed to fare the
worst as he got cramps and was
in a semi-conscious state wher
they reached home.
Medical aid was Immediately
summoned and a stomach tube
was used for washing out the poi,
sonous substance. The boys were
very weak and seriously i'll fol
about z hours. not being out OF
danger before midnight.
This serious experience should
be a warning to children to be
careful about what they pick up
and eat right out Of the fields.
