REVOLT has displaced a president and cabinet in Argen
tina. Hipolito Iroyen has been deposed and General
Jose Evaristo Uriburu placed in power by the military. For
months troubles have been brewing in the Argentine, long
regarded as the most stable of the South American repub
lics. Hard times there have accentuated the unrest. Iroyen
is credited with having been rather arbitrary in his dealings,
mnd unyielding to the opposition. He proved unable to ride
out the storm when the army turned against him with the
sympathetic approval of the navy.
South American states have had a checkered career
-since they were set free from Spanish domination through
the leadership of Simon Boliver a little over a century ago.
The little republics suffered from revolutions which period
ically terminated dictatorshins. The ignorant Indian popu
lations were exploited by the
families. With the influx of a new European immigration in
the latter part of the nineteenth century, Italians and Ger
mans, political affairs became more stabilized, especially in
Brazil and Argentina and Chile. The hope was freely ex
pressed in recent years that the period of revolution in
South America was over.
Here is the record of recent months: Peru overturned
its governing regime: Bolivia, had two revolts; Southern
Brazil had one revolution a few years ago and another is
said to be brewing now in Rio Grande de SuL And now Ar
gentina. Some of the causes of the unrest are the passing of the
war-encouraged prosperity of South America, and the bur
dens of debt service which have been placed upon the peo
ples there. For a long time South American states were fre
quently guilty of repudiating their foreign loans. This made
the risk so great that loan brokers exacted exorbitant com
missions, leaving little of the proceeds to get into the treas
ury. Lifted to great heights of prosperity because as neutral
powers their products were in demand during the war, the

American loans. Representatives of American bond houses
almost camped on the steps of the capitols to thrust money
npon the republics. Then came the let down. Coffee prices,
long supported by the government in Brazil, broke under
the burden of supplies. Argentine wheat suffered from bad
weather and low prices. Economic distress heightened the
political difficulties and trouble came.
Usually a South American revolution is like a storm.
It is all over in a few days and these are going again norm
ally. But in Argentine there are rumors of a counter-revolution,
so the results are not yet clear. American investors are
naturally concerned, but with securities of the better grade
in South America, it is probable that the interest and prin
i eipal payments will be met punctually.
'Maine Stays by the Party
GOOD old Maine gives a ringing answer to the critics of
the republican administration. Maine proclaims to the
"4 world her continued adherence to the principles of the re
publican party. By great majorities the republican candi
dates for United States senator, governor and represent
. lives in congress were swept into victory.

The OTHER BULLET
CHAPTEBV 83
Peter sat facing the high rail
which divided the prison inmates
from their visitors. There was
a babble of voices around him,
yet the hubbub created a privacy
as real as solitude, for each of
the pairs leaning forward dose
to the barrier from opposite sides
waa oblivious of all the others.
To each of them the drone of
conversation that filled the room
was only an indeterminate hum
ming accompanied tor the one
conversation that mattered
their own.
Peter had already started from
the hospital toward the SanJ
Quentln ferry when he swung
Bossy sharply around and re
turned to the Herald office in
stead. He found Andrews in the
dark room, developing prints.
"I believe you're going to turn
out useful for once," Peter greet
ed him gaily. "Remember that
picture you took of Mortlson on
the Hangtown story?"
Sure I do. Didn't I hare to
take him in his coffin, because
the undertaken wouldn't be per
suaded to let me set him np pro

member. The art department
gave me the dickens for the
work they had In dressing it up
so that we could use it. After all
the work I had getting permis
sion to take it at all! They only
used It for a half column Inset
can you beat that?"
'Well, it's going to come m
handy now," Peter consoled him.
I wish you d fix me up a conpie
of prints one from yonr own
plate. Just as you took It, and
another one the way the art de
partment brought it to life. Can
I hare them In twenty minutes
or so?"
'Surest thing you know!
There's nothing I like better
than being; interrupted in the
middle of a Job and being asked
to hunt up some plates that are
close to a month old!
"Thanks."
Andrew's tone had been any
thing bnt enthusiastic, and when

still grumbling, would hand him
the pictures he. had asked zor. -Emerging
from the dark room,
Peter strolled over to Lammie's
deak. Tha "D" edition was al
ready out,-and Lammle waa enJT
gaged in nothing more exigent
than the drawing of caricatures
of various members of the Her
ald staff on a sheet of copy pa
per. Peter leaned over his
shoulder, and under pretense of
viewing the drawings, spoke in a
low tone, inaudible to the men
at the neighboring desks.
I say. Lammie." he mur
mured, "you remember that ring
you pawned at Iszrs?"
Tm not likely to forget it. I
thought you'd got me Into one
hell of a lam. '
"I thought maybe I had, my
self." Peter admitted. "How
much did Ixxy lend yon on it, by
the way?"
"Ten buclcs.,
"Well, m teU you what I
wish you'd do. Give me the tickets
and let me get it out of hock,
and take the ring. If s worth art

thing again." he said without
looking np. - ; k '
"I'm sorry yon got dragged
into It," Peter poiogised with
awkward sympathy .-..., .
"Oh. I'm-not sore at rom."
Lammie's head was ent lew as
, he opened the drawer of his desk

and fished out the pawn ticket
from among its miscellaneous
contents. "In a way, I'm grate
ful. I'm on the wagon, Peter
for keeps," he added gruffly. The
pawn ticket was in his hand, but
ne still pretended to fumble
among the papers in the drawer.
Jimmy's too damn decent. You
gare me the scare of my life, and
I guess it knocked some sense
into me. I'd giro yon the ring
for nothing, if I had the money
to get it out of hock."
That's all right it Isn't my
money," Peter assured him blith
ely. "I'm Just lucky that Iuy
didn't put yon wise to the fact
that those emeralds are real and
giro gpu more tor it."
A half hour later Peter was
on his way to San Quentin. the
ring in his pocket and the still
damp photographic prints care
fully wrapped In paper on-the
seat beside him. Not even the
prison gardens, with their glar
ing, incongruous beauty succeed
ed in depressing his spirits. Cal
lahan was already in for a long
term, and ho would have no rea
son for refusing to talk, espe
cially since Peter came from Fits
gerald. Despite Fitzgerald's . descrip
tion, Peter was unprepared for
the stunted, narrow-chested fig
ure in a prison uniform several
sizes too large for him, who
came forward to a seat on the
prisoner's side of the barrier.
Callahan's coloring was of the
dusty blonde type whose skin
always looks faintly grimy. The
short prison hair-cut made his
features even more wizened I
than nature, augmented by con
tinuous undernourishment in
childhood, had created them. Ev
en an eye less experienced than
Peter's would hare placed Calla
han as one of society's congen
ial misfits. j
"Sunk before he started," Pe
ter inwardly commented.
Neither rlclousness nor ad
venture, ambition nor despair,
had made Callahan an outlaw.
He was a criminal because it
had never occurred to him to be
anything else. He scraped a pre
carious and dangerous living.
punctuated by periods In prison
only a degree more dismal than
the periods outside it, because
ha knew of nothing else to do.
"Mr. Fitigerald wants as I
should help you. I don't know
how I can help anybody, but Mr.
Fitzgerald was good to my miss
us, and what he says goes," Cal
lahan said as he dropped into his
seat.
"If youTl come clean on what
I ask you, neither Mr. Fitzger
ald nor I will forget it, when yon
come up before the prison board."
"I ain't strikin'- no, bargain
with yen." The man's rolce, thin
and reedy, had yet 'a curious,
hopeless dignity. "The prison
board win giro me the hook and
I know it. But I owe Mr. Fitz
gerald Butthm' an' it you're a
friend o' his, that's enough. Spit
it?" i
Peter drew the ring from his
pocket and heW It np where Cal
lahan could see It, cupped in his
hand.
i "I only want to know where
yon got this,' he said.
"Yon wouldn't believe It if X
told you!" Callahan's rolce had
the dull certitude of one to whom
the accusation of lying had long
ceased to bo an insult. "What's
more, I never told a souL I was
scared to turn it over to a fence

Peter ; opened ' his - mouth ' to
speak and closed it again. It was
Inconceivable that Callahan - was
telling- the truth when he said
that - ho had r forgot tea . tho ring.
bl Peter decided to. tear th
rest oi als story, It would-, then
It
be easy enough to point out its
discrepencies. Callahan hadn't the
imagination to lie cleverly but
why had be begun by saying he
did not expect to be believed and
added the statement, silly on its
very surface, that he had for
gotten a ring obtained a month
ago, which, by his own showing.
he bad been afraid to dispose of?
Peter's eyebrows were lifted al
most to the margin of his over
hanging black forelock, but if
Callahan wanted to spin a fairy
tale well, there were times
when men's fairytales were more
Illuminating than their most lit
eral .utterances.
"'im . listening," he said in a
voice which betrayed nothing of
his incredulity.
"I wouldn't do this for nobody
but Mr. Fitzgerald. Say, did you
know he hunted around till he
got my missus a Job one where
she can keep the kid with her?
I'd go to the chair for that guy.
Honest to Joes', I would! Maybe
they can send me there yet, if
I teU you. But I didn't croak
him."
If Callahan had Protested his
innocence with a solemn oath.
Peter's erebrows wonld have
continued to tilt upward. But
there was something in his em
broidered statement which car
ried conviction. Besides, Fitzger
ald had said that ho wasn't a
killer.
"I believe von." Peter said
with a quiet sincerity which gare
an unaccustomed sense of confi
dence to the man on tha orison
side of the barrier.
"Then I'll tell ron how it waa.

I was goin' along the street,

to notice a place set way back

that was lust askin' for it. I took
a look at the house. One room

saraa Hunt steeres: Tnis is
Just a word ot appreciation of
your bringing to light again the
story of the Dorion woman.
"The story is rery thrilling,
and one marvels that eren a
woman of the sarage tribe could
endure what that poor woman
did. and I think as you do, that
fitting monuments I should be
erected to her memory. As one
member ot the D. A. R., I am In
favor of lending assistance, if her
grave can be found. I appreciate
very much the work you are do
ing." a "a e
The Bits man Is thankful for
this word ot appreciation.' It
makes a bright spot in a busy
day. Tho search for the grave of
the Dorion woman will ot course
be persistently. . John A. Jeffer
son, 1309 North Commercial
street Salem, remembers rery
well the Tourpln log house. He
was in it many times. It was torn
down only a few years ago.
a S "a
While that house, where the
Dorion woman, wife of Tourpln.
lived, stood in the Mlddlegrove
section, It was about a mile east
and north of the present Middle
grove school house; rery little
north of east. A quarter of a
miles south of the Tourpln house
there waa an Indian rilage. Mr.
Jefferson says he often, in his
youth, heard the neighbors tell
of the doings in that Indian camp,
where at times hundreds of the
tribesmen gathered; he says
tfome ot the neighbors said thou
sands. There must hare been an
Indian grave yard near 'the
camp. Perhaps the Dorion woman
was burled there, with her dis
eased red sisters and brothers. A
fir grove was near the rilage.
Mr. Jefferson was born a short
distance from the ranch of the
Tourplns, on the donation land
claim of Cyrus Pitney, on April
is, 1863. Of course, he never saw
the Dorion woman, for she died
in 1863. Nor did he see John
Tourpln, her husband. But, in his
youth, he heard a great deal of
them. After Tourpln disposed of
his donation claim right, he dis
appeared from that section, and
no one there knew what became
of him. There was some irremlnr-
ity about ihe transfer, and a suit
to quiet title became necessary,
as was stated in this column.
Perhaps Tourpln was not anxious
to stay around there after that.
Mr. Munkers. who finallr rot tha
Tourpln place, traded cattle for
the right which Mr. Johnson had
acquired from Tourpln. The cat
tle were near Heppner, and Mr.
Johnson moved to that section.
S
Delos Jefferson. father of
John A. Jefferson, was a well
known early Oregon pioneer. He
came in 1849. He taught school
in Portland when that citr con
sisted of six frame houses. On
the 16th of November, 1850, he

of happenings that make up the
early history of Oregon and the
Pacific northwest. The second
wife and widow of Rev. David

very long ago; a talented and

have told all about the thfrd
bouse that was built in Salem by
her deceased husband, James OI
ley, who was rafting the logs to
take to the mission mill to saw
into lumber to finish that house,
and was drowned, as Was related
in this column yesterday t h
date being December, 1842. The
drowning was probably In the

drowning.
