The weather was rainy most of the
forenoon, but was fairly good at Camp
Douglas during the afternoon.
1t is reported by those who visited
Camp Douglas Sunday by automobile,
that large number of cars had
trouble of one character or another,
going to or from Camp Douglas. This
was due largely to the bad condition
of the road in places. Due to the large
amount of travel and the heavy rain
fall during the past two weeks. The
roads between Grand Rapids and Camp
Douglas are usually good with the ex-
ception of one place from Necedah
TO New Lisbon, but on account of the
heavy rain and the large amount of
travel the roads have been wholly
demoralized.
