according to the plans. Mr.. Haviland
said last night that nothing but biz

felt sure. He figured that the trip
could be planned for Friday, and that
by Thursday afternoon the idea of the
probable weather for the following day
could be obtained.
Mr.. Haviland has already started
the ball rolling to secure the neces-
sary permission. and to plan for the
transportation. A special train GIN
be obtained over the Burlington and
1t would arrive Just before noon. This
would give time for lunch in Keokuk

have been ordered, but the attendance
is expected will be larger than that,
