Baguio has continued steadily to develop, and the Benguet Road no longer ends by running up a tree.
The air had been washed clean by the heavy rain which had poured down on us throughout the afternoon, and the sight was one never to be forgotten. Just at dusk we reached the little settlement of Trinidad, which had been the capital of the Spanish comandancia of Benguet, finding that its inhabitants were in part Ilocanos and in part Igorots.
Fa'-wing occurs quite as commonly with women as with men, and in Ambuklao, Benguet Province, I saw a boy of 8 or 9 years whose great toes were spread half as much as those shown in Pl. XXV. This deformity occurs on one or both feet, but generally on both if at all. An enlargement of the basal joint of the great toe, probably a bunion, is also comparatively common.
Here we were hospitably entertained by the officers of the military post. It was so cold that one's breath showed. Major Maus improved the opportunity to indulge in a severe chill. Finding him buried under blankets, we asked his views as to the Benguet climate. They were radical! It is only fair to the Major to say that the report which he ultimately made set forth the facts fully and fairly.
In Benguet all people carry on their backs, as also do the women of the Quiangan area. In all heavy transportation the Bontoc men carry the spear, using the handle as a staff, or now and then as a support for the load; the women frequently carry a stick for a staff. Man's common transportation vehicle is the ki-ma'-ta, and in it he carries palay, camotes, and manure.
I was repeatedly informed that the olag is not found in the Banawi area south of Bontoc, or in the Tinglayan area east, or among the Tinguian to the north, or in Benguet far southwest, or in Lepanto immediately southwest though I have some reason to believe that both the intugtukan and olag exist in a crumbling way among certain Lepanto Igorot.
Some of the fruits, many of the flowers and practically all of the vegetables of the temperate zone can be advantageously produced in Benguet. They are being shipped to Manila in steadily increasing quantities. One would gather from the criticisms of the enemies of the Philippine government that the Benguet Road was a pleasure boulevard.
The officers and many of the members and agents of this party were promptly sentenced to death by Aguinaldo, and many of them were assassinated; but the party persisted in its efforts until success was attained. During June of 1901 Professor Moses and I made a horseback trip through Pangasinán, La Union, Benguet, Lepanto and Ilocos Sur, accompanied by our private secretaries.
However, scientific observations have been made and recorded for a series of about ten years at Baguio, Benguet Province, at an altitude of 4,777 feet, and it is from the published data there gathered that the following facts are gained.
One of these institutions has to do with the control of the pueblo. Bontoc has not developed the headman the "principal" of the Spaniard, the "Bak-nan'" of the Benguet Igorot the one rich man who becomes the pueblo, leader.
