impressions of
PERU ARE GIVEN
(By Harry L. Cash)
In answer to your kind invitation and
the request of aeveral friends, 1 am
jotting down a few of my impressions
of Peru following; my letter of almost
a year aero.
Those who are interested know that
I went to Peru aa a member of an edu
eational commission taken there by the
Peruvian government for the purpose
or reorganizing the school system. In
my other letter 1 told something of the
plans which we were making to carry
out this work.
Our first year was practically spent
in studying the situation and planning
for this year. These plans called for
a large expenditure of money since
practically all schools are conducted
in rented rooms with little or no equip
ment, few textbooks, no industrial
courses and taught by poorly trained
and poorly paid teachers. ,
Soon after our arrival we realized
that the economic aituation was very
bad due to the almost total falling on
of the export trade from which the
government derives the - most of its
revenue. However, we went ahead
with our plans in the hope that condi
tions would improve. On the contrary,
by the time Congress was in session,
during the first months of the year.
the situation had become so bad that
it seemed necessary to cut all appro
priations instead of giving the increas
es which were essential if we were to
have carried out our reforms. While
these cuts in no way effected our con
tracts, yet the most or us realized
that without the necessary iunds our
work would be so handicapped that it
would be next to impossibe to produce
results ana about hall of the commis
sion asked to be relieved from contract
at once and few, if any, plan to stay
longer than the end or the year.
While, from all reports this country
has been passing through a period of
fi an n rial stress, yet conditions here in
no way compare with those following
the boom years in Peru and other
South American countries. Due to the
lack of development, Peru is very de
pendent on her export trade dealing,
as she does, almost entirely in raw
materials. As in all other countries,
the Peruvians enjoyed great prosperity
when their products were in demand.
yet used little or none of the results
of this prosperity for the improvments
necessary for the development and
improvement of the country.
Economic development is hindered
by political and physical peculiarities.
While having passed 100 years as a
Republic, the Latin temperament
seems to make it very oimcuit to- use
politics for the general good and to
cease making it a purely personal or
factional affair. During this 100 years
of the Republic, not more than three
or four of the 30 odd presidents or rul
ing councils have been really elected.
The majority have come into power
because they have been able to control
the army or have had enough influence
to depose the other man and have
themselves elected by congress. Few
of these changes have been accom
panied by bloodshed but it can easily
be seen that such a system is not con
ducive to economic development.
Foreign capital is especially shy of
making large investments when the
government policies are so unstable.
So often has the new man in power
seen fit to change regulations regard
ing investments that outside corpora
tions have often found conditions dim-
cult.
This unstability has, in the opinion
of many, made the floating of a $50,-
000.000 loan, so desired at this time,
difficult for the government Negoti
ations with New York bankers for
such a loan had been going on for sev
eral months before I left and .as far as
1 know have not yet been completed.
Physically, Peru presents a difficult
development problem. The costal re
gion is the most developed and while
its sandy flats produce valuable cotton
and grape crops yet the greatest possi
bilities lie in the mountainous region
known as the Sierra a barren and
rugged, treeless tract rising to an
elevation of more than 17,700 feet
and the Montana section, the heavily
wooded jungle land on the east slope
of the Andes.
The sierra region is extremely rich
in mineral and contains many new val
leys well adapted to general farming
and cattle raising. At present only
two railroads, one in the central and
the other in the southern part, pierce
this vast section and there are no
roads whatever for the use of wagons
or motor vehicles. All travel, away
from these two railroads and a jew
very short ones, must be done by mule
or horse over trans wmcn rise irom
12.000 to 16.000 feet in reaching many
of the older well settled valleys.
Railroads must open up this section
if Peru is to develop. And new roads
means the introduction of foreign cap
ital. While all Peruvians realise this.
yet there is considerable opposition
against giving the necessary conces
sions that would attract outsiders.
There were rumors this spring or an
English company taking the contract
for extensive development but no tiling
definitely was done.
A great deal of this land is con
trolled by large landowners who have
on their vast estates large numoero or
Indians who are virtually slaves and
from the labor of whom the families
derive a comfortable living but inten
sive or scientific cultivation is practi
call? unknown.
The region or toe Montana is prac
tically unsettled except by more or
less uncivilized Indian tribes. The
only commercial development is that
around iquiioa on tM Amazon where
large rubber plantations have been
developed.
Many have asked me ir there are not
many opportunities in boutn America
for young men. My first hand know!
edge ia limited to Peru. I woo Id n t
advise, although most of us young men
don't ask or take advice, anyone to go
to Peru unless, under contract to some
firm or possessed with a large amount
of capital. With money there are
some valuable concessions which might
be obtained in fanning landa, oiL or
mines but these are not common and
are surrounded witn eonsideraoie red
tape. In addition, to make a auccesa
there, one would need to go with the
idea of staying many years, becoming
reconciled to new customs, learning
Spanish and taking one's chances with
an ever changing political situation.
However, a few years in those
countries is a worthwhile experience
and surely gives one an idea of the
opportunitiea for a closer relation be
tween our country and our neighbors
to the south.
COLUMBIA FRESHET
HIGHWAY ATTRACTION
While the Columbia river at freshet
stage has been a source of alarm to
truck gardeners of both Oregon and
Washington banks of the mid-Colum
bia the past 10 days, it has filled
sloughs and bayous and presented new
attractions to motorists over the Co
lumbia River Highway. The wide ex
panses of water offer new sensations
along the river at many points, and
motorists have come here from Port
land in numbers the past week es
pecially to see the stream at flood
stage.
Views of the river are more appeal
ing in the early morning and later
evening than at other timea or the
day. Motorists, however, declare that
the glare or the sun, which at this
season descends in the center of the
gorge, is trying on the eyes of a driver

Serio-Comic Character Coming
A. Mather Hilburn, master of serio-
comie'eharater delineator, is coming to
the.cbautauqua in a program happily
balanced between a risible tickling
drollery and a light, sweet pathos that
touches but does not wound.
No artist presents a more varied or
pleasing repertoire than does Mr. Hil-
urn. He passes irom ngbt to heavier
roies ana dsck again, witn seemingly
no'suggestion of break, f rom a be
trayal of the ancient to the modern of
earth, he shifts, before his audiences.
without losing any of his peculiar
charm and bold upon them.
"Hilburn," says the Justin, Tex..
Tribune, "is a star. Whether convuls
ing bis hearers with some brawny man
character of the Emerald Isle or re
creating some of the droll types of the
Jack Uaks vJountry , he is alike con
vincing. He makes his audience laugh
or cry with as much ease as the late
and gifted Bob lay lor. As the typical
negro darky, he has the negro beat at
bis own game.
Hilburn is as much the artist in
make-up as he is at interpretation and
his deft swiftness with brush, paint
and wig is really one of the delights of
his program.
