WORK ON HOTEL
SITE STARTED
LAST OF WEEK

Work on the site of Parco's new
hotel started last week when the C.
s. Lambie Construction Company
moved teams and scrapers onto the
large lot west of the National Bank
and began excavation for the hotel
basement and foundation.
The new building Is being CON
structed by the Parco Development
company and has been so designed
that it will be one of the most at
tractive and most comfortable hotels
in southern Wyoming. Altho full
details as to the plans of the new
hotel have not yet been made public
it is reported on reliable information
that the hotel building will be so
constructed that it will contain not
only a large and we'll arranged hotel
but will also contain mercantile
rooms on either side of the main
portion of the building.
Work of construction will be
rushed to completion and it is stated
that the building will be completed
within the next ninety days. The
Lambie Construction Company ex-
poets to have between rs and 100
men working on the new building
within a short time and every eff
fort will be made to complete the
work as soon as possible.

To Larger Quarters

There was a time. not SO long
ago either, when most any old size

needs OF the citizens of Parco. But
that day has long since passed. In
fact. Uncle Sam has easily been per-
suaded that the proverbial time
changes no faster than the growing
city of Parco. In fact the evidence
of a heavily %burdened post office has
been 80 plain that the wheels of pro-

GREEN RIVER
AND PARCO TO
CLASH SUNDAY

Next Sunday morning at 10 a. M.
will be staged a ball game that will
be SOME ball game. Green River
admittedly one of the fastest and
most formidable ball teams in the
entire state, will meet the Oil Cans
the Parco ball field. The game
will start promptly at 10 a. M, in
order that the visitors may rest up
before their afternoons clash with
Rawlins at Rawlins.
Altho the Oil Cans are chosen by
Parco fans to break the visitors
winning streak, even the most ar
dent "Oil Gamer" admits that the
game will be a close one and the
Parco aggregation will have to step
a lively gait in order to successfully
survive the nine round battle.
Parco has a fine ball team this
season and there is no doubt but
that a record breaking crowd will be
on hand Sunday morning to see two
good teams clash.

Colors of Floluers
Governed BY Light

Some curious observations made in
Manchester. England, indicate that
light and temperature may have a de-
termining influence on the colors of
flowers in different months.
The observer noticed a tropaeclum,
or nasturtium plant, which showed
three types of flowers-yellow. yellow
with red markings and claret-colored.
Sometimes n type predominated and
sometimes another. In the Offspring
Of this plant he noticed that the parti-
colored and red flowers occurred only
during fine. hot weather, in the second
week Of August. whereas during the
cold, wet periods of July, September
and October all the flowers were yell
low.
By self-sterilizing the flowers of diff
ferent colors he found that in the sec
Ond generation the color of the paren-
tai flower had no determining effect,
and he concludes that temperature
and light are the governing influences.
