Makes Binder Irvine Record.-The
Kansas state penitentiary binding
Irvine plant has already sold more
twine this year, since May /, than any
year in its history. The total sales
this year have aggregated 100000
pounds. During the whole season of
1907, 1,274,00O pounds were sold. The
plant has about 100000 pounds on
hand now, and John Brown, assistant
warden, says he expects that to be
sold within very short time. The
plant was naturally crippled by the
bad fire recently, when large guam
tity of sisal was destroyed. Two
thousand five hundred bales are now
on the way to the plant, however, and
there will not probably be any cause
to stop work for lack of material. The
sales of Irvine for the first four days
in June run in this order: June 4,
100000 pounds; June 3, $4,000 pounds;
June 2, 100000 pounds; June /, 100000
pounds; May 20. $4,000 pounds.

lion wrote the governor as follows:
AS we advised you, this question was
July laid before the interested lines
Ind has been carefully considered. As
result thereof it is concluded that it
will not be practicable nor consistent
o make any reductions from the pres
mt low tariff of two cents per mile.
The present fare is SO I-3 per cent less
han that which has prevailed hereto
ore, and applies to ALL" The rail.
Dads have put in special harvest
ate from Chicago to Kansas City of
6.25. Gerow wanted a one-cent per
lille rate into Kansas The railroads
rgued that heretofore the one-cent
ate was made for entrance and three
ents for return, or total of four
ents, just as two cents per mile each
'ay will total this year. Further, the
say they want to give the
vo-cent fare through trial, since it
in litigation. Director Gerow
avs the fight will be continued.
