The Zigzag on the Way to Bagulo, Summer Capital of the Philippines.
All aboard ! Let's go 1 We're start
ing from Maoila, the great picturesque,
Americanized Oriental city, and will
travei by automobile 200 miles to the
north to Baguio, the summer capital of
the Philippines. The trip can also be
made by train
We have ahead of us one of the most
scenic, spectacular and thrilling auto
mobile trips in the world. We will
have excellent roads all the way. The
Philippines are, In fact, a paradise for.
autoists, possessing 3,500 miles of fine
macadamized roads.
The first part of the trip is through
typical small towns and then across
the central plain of Luzon and through
several rf'eh and fertile provinces,
where tropical vegetation is seen at its
bst Here one is impressed with the
great agricultural wealth of the Philip
pines, which represents one of the
East's greatest producing areas, with
the advantage of immense natural re
sources for the development of further
production. It is regrettably true thnt
even in the United States there is far
from any real understanding of the
potentialities of the islands.
At some points rice fields, looking In
the distance like the greenest of green
lawns, stretch away as far as the eye
can see. If you want color, if you
want to feel the romance and mystery
of an Oriental twilight, pass this way
as the red eyed sun at the end of the
dying day is slowly sinking behind the
unending expanse of green fields. At
first you cry out in ecstacy at the
gorgeous scene. But as you ride along,
your ej'es fastened on the panorama
of -tints and colors, and with the im
penetrably black Oriental night com
ing on fast, you become enthralled.
You no longer try to express your feel
ings. You cannot. You realize that those
now fast changing, colorful master
pieces in the heavens and on the land
' scape are pictures that no man can ad
equately describe nor human hands du
plicate. So what's the use of trying !
True, these are but impressions, but
the traveloguer considers himself justi
fied in mentioning them, for they are a
part of the trip to Baguio and return.
Indeed, the gorgeous sunsets in all
parts of the Philippines leave an im
pression on the mind of the tourist that
is everlasting.
We leave the palms and tropical
foliage and enter the zone of rugged
pine. We pass from the soft, incense
laden air of the warm lowlands to the
crisp, invigorating - ozone of the tem
perate zone, all within a few hours'
time. "
For mile after.mila the road now fol
lows the tortuous course of a river, the
road . lying in the bottom or on the
rocky sides of a granite canyon.
The Philippines are rich in hydro
electric possibilities. This power is the
cheapest power on earth. And it Is
everlasting." Your" traveloguer is nei
ther a prophet nor the son of-a proph
et, but he predicts that one day there
will be innumerable Philippine govern
ment owned , hydro-electric plants in
this canyon we are now- passing
through. Think of the possibilities of
such a project ! Today the trip from
Manila to Baguio is too expensive for
the average .Manila worker and his
f aniily, many of t whom - may live and
die without beholding the wondrous
beauties of their own island of Luzon.
Think of what a blessing it would be
to Filipino mothers and children to
feel upon their fevered brows the cool,
invigorating breezes of the niountain
tops, now so near and yet so far ! With
the Philippine government owning its
own electric railways and hydro-electric
plarfts it would be, possible to bring
the trip to Baguio within the means of
hundreds of thousands of Filipinos, j
Not orily is there sufficient power in :
this river to electrify a line from Ma
nila to Baguio, but to operate the
street railways of Manila, light the
city and furnish power for manufac-
turing concerns. '
But we have now arrived at Camp.
One. From this point the scenery ,
rapidly changes as the elevation in
creases. We are traveling over the
famous SBenguet road, the construction i
of which through the mountains is a ;
most remarkable engineering triumph.
At places the road is blasted out of the
solid granite. Riding on the edge of a ,
100 foot precipice makes one feel like i

"At times we seemed perilously near
the jumping off place." v
he is on the rim of the world. Some of
the turns are so shtrrp it is .impossible
to see 20 feet ahead, and we seem to
be perilously near the jumping off
place. We wonder if it is safe to lean
out and peer into the canyon far below,
and when we do we are perfectly sat
isfied we are flirting with death. Yet
the trip is a safe one, providing our
driver has better nerves than our owl.
All too soon we. -each the outskirts
of Baguio, a city among the clouds,
and are-rather surprised at the modern
city we find it to be. In ten years Ba
guio has grown from a village of huts
to the now justly famed mountain re
sort of the .Philippines! sometimes call
ed the Philippine Simla. It is -an-doubte'dly
destined some day to become
a large city.
Baguio ranges In elevation from
4,500 to 5,500 feet and is surrounded
practically on 'all sides by high moun
tain ridges and "hogsbacks" towering
into the skies at a height of almost
8,000 f eeti
Aside from the scenery, which is
noteworthy, the great blessing of Ba
guio is Its temperate climate, which is
indeed a godsend to those impoverish
ed, by the tropical temperatures, of the
lowlands. Not only is the mountain
air rich in ozone, but It has been dem
onstrated to be extraordinarily free
from germs of all kinds.
Each yean during the hot season the
school teachers of the entire archipela
go are enabled by the government to
spend a month at the teachers' camp
in Baguio for recreation and confer
ence on school work. American army
i officers and their families also go to
Baguio for the hot months.
And now that your, traveloguer has
you in Baguio, he believes he will leave
you there, fr there are many interest
ing side Irips to take, and, besides,
Baguio Is the most delightful place for
a vacation in the entire Orient.
