MAY REGAIN CH|NA'S
COTTON GOODS MARKET
Now Is the Best Time for American
Manufacturers, Says Special
Agent 0dell.

There's no time like the present for
United States manufacturers Of cotton
goods to regain lost markets in China,
according to a bulletin just issued by
the bureau OF foreign and domestic
commerce. The publication is a COM
prehensive survey of the market by
Special Agent Ralph NJ. Odell. who has
spent six months in China making the
investigation. Japanese and Chinese
competition Is strong; the purchasing
power of the Chinese has been cur
tailed by the war. but it has also re-
stricted tho exports of cotton goods
from the principal European source.
Stocks" said Mr.. Odell. throughout
tho country are gradually decreasing
and 1t is likely that there will be an
actual shortage in the near future. II
full advantage is taken of the present
opportunity by American manufacture
ers who are willing to find out Just
what the market wants and then sup
ply 1t. 1t is probable that American cot
ton goods will regain the position they
once held"
There are excellent grounds for the
belief. he said. that American ingen.
uity and modern methods Of manu-
facture will yet make 1t possible for
the United States. the second largest
producer OF cotton goods in the world,
to secure an appreciable share Of the
trade in this large and expanding mar
ket II the exporters in this country will
but avail themselves of the opportuni-
ties offered.

After we had made arrangements for this re-

publishers had on hand $4,000 sets printed on India

upon the light India paper which makes the volumes
so easy to hold and read. But the printing upon
this paper must be done with especial care.
Even this enormous printing can last us for only

News of the
Sugar Factory

There is nothing definite to give
this week regarding the progress OF
the proposed Delta factory.
Delays have been occasioned by
storms and other conditions, though
there have been no snow slides.
Mr.. Carlton has been delayed in
New York several days longer than
was anticipated. to which point he
is said to have gone to further promo
ton plans.
A rumor gained currency yesterday
that the Delta Sugar Company people
had completed their deal for the June
tion plant. thereby assuring the i'm.
mediate building of the Delta factory,
but a tracing of the rumor establish
ed its origin in certain dispatches,
making it believable but not positive.
4 few weeks may he required to get
matters Strengthened out and in a
stage of advancement for the public
to have a dependable bulletin. More
encouraging information. however.
may be forthcoming any day.

Taxes Returned
To Counties

Notes from the State Capitol this
week read as follows:
Last year the county treasurers sent
to the state treasurer 1880, TO2 81.
The state treasurer returned to the
county treasurers s3S6,294.43 to help
support the schools of the counties;
is197 592 SO to help in the improvement
of the roads: s59,21S.6O from the rev.
enue derived from forest reserves and
S15.79O.O0 to help make good the
minimum salary allowed by law to
school teachers. OF the sixty-three
counties of the state, five. Archuleta
Dolores, Hinsdale, Mineral and Pitkin
receive back more than they sent in.
One of them, Archuleta, received
back six times as much as it sent in.
Twenty-three counties received back
more than half as much as they sent
in.
The above figures do not include
what was expended by the state in
support of the various state institu-
tions, such as University, the School
of Mines. Teachers College. Agricul-
tural College, penitentiary, insane asy-
lum, etc. These cost hundreds of
thousands of dollars, and were they
taken into consideration would show
that fully one-half of the counties re
ceived back more than they paid in.
Contrary to the general belief, Den
yer receives back but a small portion
of what it pays in. In 1915, the state
received from the Denver County
treasurer s695.S27.42 and paid back
SS7,363,2O to help support schools and
.nothing at all for roads or from the
forest service.
Larimer county ranks among the
Headers in the amount received back
,It paid in s5O.7291O and received S13,-
077.27 for its schools. 500 .60922 for
its roads: S945.55 from the forest re-
serve fund and $500 for its minimum
teachers salary fund In addition to
these amounts it received a very large
sum to meet the bills of the agricultur-
al college.
