Irvine notes held by the prison were
due yesterday, and indications are that
vast proportion of the notes will be
paid between now and Tuesday. State
Auditor Dunn. according to the state
ment of Warden Reeve, recently made
the claim that a large sum due the prison
factory on Irvine notes would remain
uncollected Dec. /, but his claim will
evidently prove unfounded. Notwith-
standing poor crops and poor roads,
farmers have been paying their notes
before maturity, no less than S22S 900 hay
ing been paid UP to yesterday morning.
Ihe afternoon mails alone contained
checks and drafts for large sums. and
the total collections up to last even
ing will not fall much short Of $4,000.
The aggregate amount due on Irvine
notes was S375,S65. Warden Reeve is
greatly pleased with the manner in which
farmers are paying their notes, and many
OF the notes are accompanied by letters
from farmers speaking in high terms of
the prison twine used the past season.
Last year the notes held by the factory
amounted to $201 600 of which amount
only $4,000 was paid before maturity
