The company had fought the building of the Cascade locks liks a “she bear । robbed of her whelps.” Money had been squan dered, work delayed and costs made almost without end. When the locks were completed and open ed for river freight, The Dalles put on their famous Regulator line of steamers. At first the railroad company tried to bull doze The Dalles by moving their shops to Portland. Shop men had furnished The Dalles merchants a large a- mount of trade. The company said they>would caue the grass to grow in the streets of The Dalles. When this did not accomplish their desire they, through secret dummies, sought to buy up a ma jority of the Regulator line com pany stock. This was averted by tW.vice president becoming wise to their game and for some trivial excuse he persuaded the president of th? company to absent himself from thejj,company jurisdiction and he at once called a meeting of the directors and issued more stock shares which were bought up by the faithful. This saved the Regulator line and forced the railroad company to move wheat to Portland at the rate made by the Regulator com pany. Still the railroad company had a tight grip on the Sherman county wheat shipping, which was increasing very rapidly.
