An ominous The attention of the Douglas Coun ty Merchants Association has been called to the fact that certain parties and organizations in Portland are routing the tourist travel wirtcu milk a stnn In that cltv. through eastern Oregon. The Jackson County Business Men's Association has en tered a strong protest to this move and h",ve written to the proper au thor! es in Portland in order to a3 cert ',m the reason for this move. It 'has been pointed out to the Portland chamber of commerce and also to the automobile club of ithat city that far better roads are to be had In the western part of the state, as well as better supply stations, better hotel accommodations and better camping facilities to say nothing of the un surpassed sceitery through which tho tourist must pass from the time they leave Portland until they reach San Francisco. In comparison to this the eastern part of the state offers noth ing but a few towns of any conse quence through which the traveler must pass with a corresponding lack of hotel facilities. The roids are no comparison to the Pacific highway and the . scenery Is one vast stretch of sand and sage brush. The secretary of the Oregon Retail Merchants Association has been ap pealed to to correct the false Impres sions which have been created by Hi... nnrtla. anit . a ho. Itrnmlaail to do everything In his power to di vert thev tourist travel to the western counties. With the vast amount of money which has been expended by the vari ous counties through which the Pa cific highway passes and the ad vantages that the western conntlM offer in scenery, supply stations and fcotelB there Is no legitimate reason for the tourist travel no coming over this route. mystery is thrown about the extent' of the injuries of Morgan, and re-' ports differ. One said that a bullet j entered the chest and came out under his arm. It is definitely stated that one entered the groin and made it's exit through the thigh. The family reports that the financier Is "not ser iously wounded," but there is a well defined belief that this is designed to allay fears while the stock market is open". After Dr. W. H. Zabrlske dressed Morgan's wound, Dr. J. W. Markoe, a specialist, was summoned j from New York. After an examlna-i lion uy MarKoe, ne announced wim the wound was not serious, and that there was' no danger except from In fection. , Morgan was at breakfast with Sir Cecil' Spring-Rice, ambassador from: England, when the assailant, who told j tho nnllpo that Mr name was F. Holt. ! and that he was a professor at Cor-! nell, forced his entrance Into the house. No explantaion Is made as to ti. nr th TiriHsb ..niMsxa.! dor bv the associates of Morgan, ex- cept that he was a guest. . The prls-l .' . . I oner reiterated he had Bhot morgan I because of the alleged connection' of the financier with the war. Dr. J. S. Connelly said the prisoner was un doubtedly mentally unbalanced. GLENCOVE, Wuly 3. Dr. John Za brlske refused to confirm or deny that the condition of Morgan was seri ous. He said the financier Instruct ed him not to talk. "Is Morgan's life In danger?-" he was asked. "A man's life Is always Jn danger when he Is shot," Zabrlske responded. Mem bers of the family said that Holt shot twice, but only one was effective. The first shot shattered a valuabl portrait in the hall, the second struck! Morgan in the groin. Frank Holt sent the following telegram to his wife In Dallas, Texas: "Man proposes, God disposes. Don't come until you get my letters. Be strong." v L. NAVAL MILITIA ON ITS ANNUAL CRUISE I j ue unuiifceu 101 me use 01 cne lillll NORFOLK, Va July 3. Blue- ber and railroad company.
