NEW LINE OF BOATS IS SOON EXPECTED The Dalles People Look.For- -ward to Opposition in Steam , boat Transportation, IournalBpeclaLServlce4 ' THE DALLES, Or., July . Reports , are being circulated that within a month J there will be an opposition steamboat ': Una between this city and Portland. This report Is meeting with the ap- t proval of a good many business men. They realize they are not receiving as i good a service from the Regulator Line a the present time as they did last year, when the White Collar Line waa In operation. The boats arrive at all i times, from 7 p. m. until long after f midnight. It takes twice as long to haul freight from Portland as It did a year ago. With these things in view ,there Is no doubt that an opposition line will receive a hearty support from the business men. ! , The Tots for Quean.

Have no Preference. The Queen voting contest conducted by the Woodmen of the World In Port land is growing intensely exciting, and the most wise can only, hazard a con jecture as to the denouement Mr. J. J. Jennings, the director general of the carnival, speaking for Woodcraft wishes it understood that no candidate is es pecially endorsed by It, nor is any con testant entitled to preference over an other in the electoral conditions. A few of the camps have given complimentary endorsements to certain candidates, but no camp is presumed to be backing any canaiaat nnancia:iy. The Wccdraen are anxious that the best candidate may win. It is a clear field and the election shall be conducted squarely and fairly and without preju- aice or lavoriusm. Kiss Bertha Williams.
