WAUPACA RECORD-LEADER

September 14, 1916

 

THE YELLOWSTONE TRAIL RELAY IS AN ENTIRE SUCCESS.

 

            The great Yellowstone Trail relay race by which autos were carrying a message from the war department at Washington, to Seattle, Washington, came through Waupaca, Wednesday morning, two hours ahead of time; the car which took up the message at Fremont, arriving here at 6:43 instead of 8:15 as scheduled.  Erle Whipple, general manager for the relay in this state, and J.L. Seeger of Stevens Point were in the car which was driven by P.J. Christofferson, and it left here at top speed, Van Nelson relaying it from here to Stevens Point.

            The rains had made the roads bad, but good time had been made up to this city.

            Word was received here that the cars arrived at Stevens Point at 7:55 a.m. without accident.
