! THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, TUESDAY EVENING, JhnuakV 11, 1SUU. 16 10 US. SOLDIERS w TROUNCE 00 E m is S. V. Emery, Mining Engineer, Returns From Southern Re public . With New Stories on Revolutions. : 8. V." Emery, a mining engineer and mlneowner of Arequlpa, Peru, who hns coma to Portland from South America . to buy a block of t)regon farm land, la at the Norton la hotel. "Oregon's fame la widespread." said Mr. Emery today. ' "Isolated front civ ilisation In southern Peru. I heard of tha opportunities Oregon offered." Mr. Emery has been In South Amer ica 10. years. Ha has .either prospected or traveled throurh every republle of tha continent, has. been .In. tha mlds of several revolutions and believes htm self tha cause of having averted on In Para, last jresr. . Tlls of riaa. ' "It was during ihsUma"Peru""iad Chile contemplated scrapping over .Bo ll via," he said. "Knowing the awe in which all South' Americans hold tha ' X'nlted States, wa formed plan. Fol lowing out our. schema I circulated i petition among .English speaking peo ple in tha republic, calling on tha Uni ted States for protection. Though the Peruvians ware ready to fight, thought of Uncle Bam bearing down upon them frightened them. Hostilities cams to sudden stop." ' That South America has seen Its last revolution Is the belief of tba engineer. 'foreign Interests are becoming too nowerful.'' was his explanation for the assumption, "and a natural state of tranquility Is settling over tha conti nent. Revolutions are caused prlmar lly.br the fact that tha South Ameri can aristocrat will . not take orr Ms coat ha will, rot work,' in other words. For decades the revolutionary system of obtaining money has been prevalent "In Booth . America every prominent man has his following. In fact, a vlr tual ' Tammany Hall system i exists around every distinguished household. Only It Is known as the god-father plan. Tha Way Zt Operates. "And it operates In this way: Peons always rush to the man they consider most prominent Jand beseech him Xo act J usually complies. ." Thereafter, lha pa rents and their children ara bound to blm ,wlth veritable chains of loyalty. His csusa Is their cause snd his griev ance their grievance. If tha child, for whom tha , distinguished man stands sponsor, dies, it IS ha who pays tha funeral expenses. If Its psrents die, he Is supposed to support and provide education for It For their loyalty, tha aristocrat gives Insurance. . Aristocrats Barely work. "The South American aristocrat rare ly works. He feeds from the publlo crib. When a president has remained In of fice long enough to amass a fortune. soma rival party, In need of money, starts a revolution, which la not a dlf floult feat puts their leader In tha presidency and steals enough money on whloh to live comfortably for years to coma. "Tha' . 'South American peon,, though he does not understand tha first prln clples of patriotism, Is the most patrl otlo person ' In the world. Urged' to battls with tha aid of liquor, ha Is til bravest man In tha world. But a atrangs fact Is that 10 white soldiers csn eas ily defeat 100 South Americans in bat tie. "Nicaragua needs only a staple gov eminent, which Madrls, who succeeded Zelaya, cannot give. Estrada Is tha one man for tha place. Under him the country will prosper. I have been in tha republic many times and know that politically Its stench rises to heaven. Regarding the Panama canal, - Mr. Emery said: "All South America Is waiting for, tha completion of tha canal. Not only will tha wr.terway build up the Isthmus, but It means mora to South America and South American Interests than ths people of the United States can ever know. Freight rates, now prohib itive, will ba greatly lessened. Trans portation facilities ares now so meagre as to keep capital out of all tha re publics. . "Soma Idea of tha freight rates may ba obtained from tha fact that wa pay $4.10 gold for tha transportation of every '100 pounds of freight wa send to tha mines, ISO miles from tha coast. Building of tha Panama canal Is tha most progressiva undertaking In tha history of tha United States," Mr. Emery's mines lie K.ooo and 10,000 feet above tha sea level. "We have a quarts gold mine 1M00 feet above tha sea level." said he, "and a Macer mine 16,000 feet above the sea. Almost Incredible, but J true, neverthe DIDTHU INVESTIGATE CASE?
