Word has reached White Bird that
the automobile containing Senator Day
and party which had break down here
but left town late Friday afternoon
made the drive to Grangeville In one
hour and fifteen minutes. Considering
the distance travelled, and the nature
of the road between White Bird and

record. Filing Gabriel is said to have
once ridden horse over the same road
in one hour and thirty minutes, and Roy
Gordon once made the trip from John
Day to Grangeville across the mountain
trails on horse back in two hours and
thirty-fiye minutes.
