Roads to Coast
Through Polk Are
In Good Shape

Dallas. Or, July 15.-The highways
leading to the coast in this county are
better than they have been for manS
years and people travelling to the bea-
ches report that they made record time
in reaching their destination. The road
to Newport is exceptionally good in all
but a few short stretches, while the
road to the Tiliamook county beaches
is such that the time between Dallas
and Pacific City can be made in three
hours. This is possible by the construc-
ton of new road through the Grand
Ronde Indian reservation, which mas
been one of the worst pieces of road
way in the state until this season. IL
has all been macadamized and Is IN

after the ResoIute had been
withdrawn because of mishap.. :.

The wind increased as the yachts
neared the outer mark and Resolute
held up to better than Shamrock. At
2:15 p. m. on approaching Long
Branch Resolute was going fast, with
a chance of reaching the mark,
whereas it appeared as if Shamrock
would have to make another tack.
Resolute parted her throat hal
wards half mile from the turn
while leading Shamrock
Resolute was standing for the mark
on the port tack when the throat
halyards parted and the gaff came
half way down the mast, and she
was forced to withdraw.

The Resolute crossed at 12:01:50
and Shamrock at 12:02:40, unoffi-

From the shore it was apparent
that the Shamrock had made a poor
start, not crossing the line until af-

blown at 1902 o'clock. The yachts
crossed the line on the starbourd
path
