All MbuurU I Let's go) We're alert tag from Manila, the great picturesque, Aun'rlcaulxed Oriental city, aud will travel by automobile 200 miles to tin aorlh to Bagulo, tlie summer capital of the Fblllpplnes. Tin trip ran also be mid by train. Wa hart ahead of o ona of the moat arenlc, spectacular aod thrilling auto mobile tripe In the world. Wt will Lav eirellent roada all tin way. Tlia Philippines are. In fact, a paradlee for auloll. K,.flng 8,r00 in I lea of Bit mainidnmlxed roads. The flrat part of tha trip la through typlral inuill towna and then across the central plain of Luxun and through several rich and fertile provinces, where troplral vegeiatlon la awn at Ma beat Hit one It Impressed with ilia great agricultural wealth of th l'hlllp- ntnn. which rlrfeiita one of the Eaat'a greateat producing areaa. with tha advantage of Iniineniie natural ro- aaurcea for the development of further reduction. It la regrettahly true that even la the I'nlied Htutea there la fnr from any real undemanding of the potenttalltlea of the liilanda. At uie points rice IMda, looking In the dlnlam e like the greenest of green lawna, stretch swsy sa far as the eye ran see. If you want color, If you wuiil to feel the roiimnce and mystery of an Oileniul twilight, pB"s this way as the red eyed ami at the end or the dying duy la slowly sinking behind the unending expmme of gree.i dVUIh. At Brat you cry out in ecstacy at the gorgeous scene. But as you ride along, your eyea fastened on tha panorama of tints and colors, and with the Im penetrably black Oriental. night com ing on fust, you Woiiih enthralled. ton no longer try to exiirens Jour feel ings. You cannot. You rculUe that thoxe now fast ctmnglng, colorful master pieces In the heavens aud on the Ittml cuie are plrttirea that no nmn can ad equately describe, nor human lunula du plicate. So what's the line of trying I True, these are but Impressions, but the traveloguer considers hluiHc If Justl Bed lu mentioning them, for they ar a part of the trip, to Butsulo and return. Indeed, the gorgeous sunnets In sll parts of the Philippines lea nn Im presslon uu the mlud of the tourist that Is everlsstlng. We leave the palms and tv.iplcal foliage aud enter the zone of riif-'gcil Bine. We paNS fresn the soft, Incense laden air of the warm lowlands to the crisp, Invigorating ozone of the tuuv nemtte zone, all within a few hours' time. JFwr rolte after mil the road now tol lows the tortuous course of a river, the road lying In the bottom or on . the rocky aides of a granite canyon. Wie Philippines are rich In hydro electric possibilities. This power Is the cheapest power on earth. And It Is verlaatlng. Your traveloguer la nei ther prophet nor the son of a proph et, but he predicts that one dny there will Innumerable Philippine govern ment owned hydro-electric plants In this canyon we are now passing through, Think of the possibilities of such project 1 Today the trip from Manila to Bagulo Is too expensive for the average Manila worker and his family, many of whom may live and He 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 browg the cool, Invigorating breezes of the mountain n. now so near and yet so far I With the Philippine government owning Its owq electric ra'lways and hydro-elec-trle pluula It would be possible to bring the trip to Haguto within the m .ins of hundreds of thousands of nilplnus Not onlr la there sufficient power In this liver to electrify a line from Ma nila to Bsgulo, but to operate the si reel railways of Manila, light the city and furnish pewer for manufac turing concerns. " But we have now arrived at Camp One. From this polut the scenery rspldly cbangea as the elevation In creases. We are traveling over me famous Beiuuet road, the const ruction of which through the mountains Is a most remarkable engineering triumph. At places the rosd Is blamed out of the solid granite. Hiding on the edtte of a 100 foot precipice makes one feel like "At times w seemed perilously near tha Jumping off place." he Is ott the rim of the world. Some of the turns are so sharp It Is Impossible to see LH) feet uheail aud we aeem to Tie perilously near Ihe Jumping off place. We wonder If It Is safe to lean out and peer Into the canyon far below, und when we do we are perfectly sat Isfled we art nlrtlwr" with death. Yet the trip la a sufe one, providing our driver has hetter nerves thun our own. All too soon we reach the outskirts of Bagulo, a city among the clouds, snd are I'Milier surpflneri at the modern city we find It to be. In ten years Ha gulo 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 la un doubtedly destined aome duy to become a large ctty. , Bagulo ranges In elevation from 4.S0O to 5,500 feet and Is surrounded practically on nil sides by high moun tain ridges 'and "hogsbaeka" towering Into the skies at a height of almost 8,000 feet. i Aalde from the scenery, which la noteworthy, the groat blessing of Ha- milo la Its temperate climate, which la Indeed a godsend to those Impoverish ed by the tropical temperatures of tha lowlands. Not only Is the mountain air rich In ozone, but It has been dem onstrated to he extraordinarily free from germs of all kinds, i Bach year 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 Bagulo, for recreation and confer ence on school work. American army officers and their families also go m Bagulo for the hot months. And now that your traveloguer has you In Bagulo, he believes he will leave you there, for there are many Interest ing side trips to taka, and. besides Bagulo Is the most delightful place for a vacation In the entire Orient.
