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

The Dalles merchants a large a-

When this did not accomplish

he at once called a meeting of the

This saved the Regulator line
