Newspaper Page TextThe New Oregon Statesman. Salem, Oregon, Thursday Morning, February tlt 1929 Jun&le Traveler Interest at Monmouth Chapel i n MS RELATES illSinO PERU Primitive Conditions Prevail in Parts of South Amer ica, Report s -Leslie C. Davis, who has spent two years exploring the Jungles of the upper Amazon In Peru and Brazil, spoke to the students and faculty of 6regon Normal school at assembly period ' Tuesday on his fascinating travels. He stated hat 9 5 per cent or tne continent of Soutn America lies soum 01 the thermal equator, ana mat uch of Peru is a vast coastal plain cooled by an Antarctic cur rent and having almost no rain fall. Peru, which was well settled in the cultivable valleys before the Spaniards came in the fifteenth century, was divided up Into large Spanish land grants after ' the conquest, and many pt these or iginal grants are now; converted Into immense cotton and sugar plantatons. Living Cots High Living conditions in Peru are expensive, as the food must be im ported or brought down from the mountainous valleys, and there are practically no roads. Mnch of Lima's mail matter is brought over a crude mule trail. The Amazon river has 30,000 miles of navigable water, but no roads or highways of any consequence throughout the basin. Cities along its banks have paved streets and automobiles, but o leave the cities one would need a canoe. Railroad Grade Steep Mr. Davis believes that the In dians there were at one time can nibals, but there Is very little evi dence of such conditions now. in ru there are 115 different tribes living In the mountain re gions. Many of the tribes are so emotely situated that they have art -met whit persons. The much famed method of head shrinking haa fallen into disrepute since a fine of $200 is imposed on any one found in possession of a shrunken head. The one railway leading to Lima is at the greatest altitude of any standard gauge railroad in the world. So steep is the route that a train of five cars isitbe longest that can travel. Davis.
