Chicle is pronounced chick'-lee in the trade, ch6kla by Dor-

THE FACTORY "BY SOME MADE FUN OF." 



A REPORT of the Durango, (Colorado), board of trade 

 says: "The rubber factory, talked of and by some 

 made fun of, is here and seventeen expert machinists are in- 

 stalling $350,000 worth of machinery, while the experimental 

 farm of 1280 acres has been secured for the cultivation of 

 the weed. The company will use the pulp, after the rubber 

 has been extracted, in the manufacture of stock food, and 

 the very worst of the leavings will be combined with nitro- 

 glycerine in the making of power. The cotton which grows 

 around the crown of the plant will be shipped and made into 

 shoddy wearing materials and the making of pillows. " The 

 report does not state whether the rubber in question will be 

 natural or artificial. 



Referring to the presence in Washington of JNIr. E. C. 

 Dunbar, the leading spirit of the Durango enterprise, a 

 despatch to the Denver Republicati says that he ' ' has carried 

 on a series of successful experiments in a small way and be- 

 lieves that with good government aid a valuable and exten- 

 sive industry in the production of rubber might be estab- 

 lished and maintained in Colorado." And an editorial 

 writer in the Denver paper indulges in this shaft of humor : 



There is no connection between the appeal for government aid 

 for the rubber industry of Colorado and that of Banker Schiff of 

 New York for an elastic currency.
