40 Cars Await Teal

At least 40 motorists are waiting in The Dalles to ship their automobiles to Portland on the steamer Teal, which is scheduled to arrive here tonight on a special trip, according to H.R. Fancher, manager of The Dalles garage. Some are believed doomed to disappointment, as it is understood that the Teal can only carry about 25 big automobiles, or 30 small ones. No further word concerning whether the vessel would arrive, as scheduled, has been received in The Dalles. Last word was that the Teal would be here tonight, and stranded motorists are impatiently awaiting the sound of its whistle. About 20 more automobiles arrived in the city yesterday from Arlington, after the highway had been cleared. It is now possible to drive all the way to Pendleton without any considerable inconvenience, local garage men say.
