Reports from the country this
morning were that the roads were
heavy, but that indications pointed
to the probability that with sunshine
today, they would be in passable con
dition by tomorrow. One member of
the committee summed the proposi-
tion up as follows: 1--WE have post
poned this tour once and it is now
up to us to go. If we put it off
again the people along the route will
begin to believe that we are not com
ing at all. We must go, roads or no
roads, but I am of the opinion that
the roads will be in good condition
by in the morning"
