PARCO TOWN
IMPROVEMENTS
ON INCREASE

Considerable impetus has been
given the improvement work going
on in Parco the last few days. APP
proXimately sixty men are now work
ing on the installation of the parks,
building of new houses and laying
of new sidewalks and sewer, gas and
water lines throughout the town. The
C. S. Lambie Construction Company
of Denver will do the majority of
this work which is already under
way.
The new passenger depot is rapid
ly taking on the appearance of a
finished structure and while it will
be several weeks before it is COM
pleted it adds considerably to the
appearance of the town. Work is
also being rushed on the building of
the freight depot and it is expect
ed that both of these buildings will
be completed by the first of July or
shortly afterward.
The setting out of trees and SOW
ing OF lawns is making rapid prog
ress and every available means is
being used to beauty Parco and
make it one of the most desirable
towns in Wyoming to live in.

THE PARCO NEWS
BY H. 7. DUCE

sequence Laramie made some 10 un-
earned runs. Both teams PLAYED
poor baseball but had only the earn
ed runs counted Laramie would still
have won by a score of 6 to .. Parcu
had seven runners die on bases
against Laramie's 2 and Laramie
chalked up p hits against Parco's
-. Taking everything into con-
sideration Parco IA outplayed from
start to finish and showed the lack
of good hard consistent practice.
A defeat at this time of the sea-
son however has its good points and
the Oil Cans certainly learned a few
things. Next time they appear on
the diamond a different story will
be told and in the next encounter
with Laramie they will undoubtedly
account for themselves in a much
better style.
A fair crowd of followers have
been out to watch the practice every
evening this week and hackers of the
team are behind them to a man. If
it is your desire to see Parco win
get out now and back the team and
show them that you are behind them.
An election by the players will
probably be held this week for a
field captain to lead the team
through the seasons games.

OIL COMPRISES
20 PER CENT OF
OUR EXPORTS

Wyoming. with merchandise eX-
ports amounting to S4,636,612 in
1924, secured ~forty-second place in
the rac of the various states and
regions of the Union for foreign mar
ketS, according to statistics just re-
leased by the Department of Com
merce, leading such states as Colo
RADIO, Vermont, North Dakota and
Idaho in the years showing. Mon
tana's results for the period under
review were about $4,000 better
than Wyoming's, while the latter
state led its runner-up, Colorado, by
nearly S2,000,000. The total export
trade OF the United States for the
year ending December 81, 1924,
amounted to S4,49S,151,936.
Crude petroleum shipments ac-
counted for more than 10 per cent
of Wyoming's exports abroad, and
amounted to $3,33S,139. The only
other commodity of Importance ap-
pearing in the list is refined copper,
bars, ingots, etc, whose foreign ship
ments totaled S150,00O.
Exports amounting to over $780,
100000 for the yea were attained
by eleven states of the fifty-two
states and regions included in the
tabulation. They were Texas, with
figures of $7~37,21S,927; New York,
%$731,5 500; Pennsylvania, $685.
299,153; Illinois $239,314,270; Cali
f%ornia, $~234,6S4,210; New Jersey,
S223.921,2 64; Louisiana, S222,S47,-

ginia, S15O.19S,225; Ohio, S133,559,-
1862, and Massachusetts, with mer-
chandise valuations of $114,41S,430.
Minnesota, with shipments valued at
S99,Ss0,490 was Just outside of the
first eleven states, while Nevada, with
exports amounting to but S~233,413,
brought up the rear of the entire
list.
This is the first time in the his
tory of Government trade statistics,
according to DR.. julius Klein, di-
rector of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce., under whose
charge the figures were compiled,
that an attempt has been made to
show the relative yearly standing of
the different states and regions of
the Union in the never ending strug-
gle for foreign trade. Formerly, Of
fetal trade figures gave only the
port from which shipments were
cleared. Inland producers. DESTROYS
of finding out what agricultural and
manufactured goods came from their
regions wanted the Commerce De-
partment to adopt some other system.
The outcome was the new compli-
lation which is based primarily on
Observation-Disclosures, and there
fore. in the case of some states re-
fleets but a part of their total for
eign trade and for others includes
goods nroduced elsewhere. The ele-
ment of seasonal luctuation, says
Director Klein, should also be con-
sidered.
