The situation in Apayao is especially difficult
because headhunting among the trbesmen of
that subprovince is intimately connected with their
religious faith. Nevertheless, the practice is be-
ing gradually stamped out and with the help of
the lgorot and lfugao constabulary, number OF
murderers have been arrested and punished.
There is still a considerable area over which gov
eminent control has not yet been established. and
which has not even been opened up by trails to
any great extent, owing to the inaccessible char
acter OF the region. One should realize of course,
that head-hunting among these people is not
garded as murder in the ordinary sense of the
word 1t Is field sport and manly occupation,
established by the custom of centuries be-
fitting Of warrior.
Most troublesome and Enthusiastically of all the
tribes of northern Luzon are the Hongots, of the
sub-provnce Of Nueva Viscaya. There are not
mere than 5000 or 5000 of them but they inhabit
vast region, most Of it very mountainous and
almost wholly covered by virgin forest Often
their settlements are merely temporary, and
they are hard to get at. Enormous distances sepa-
rate their villages, which in the remote
regions continue TO fight among themselves These
were the people who not long ago murdered Dr.
William Jones while he was engaged in making
chronological notes among them Nevertheless
trails being pushed into the heart of their
country; two or three government exchanges"
have been established; industrial schools are being
started for their benefit, and efforts are being
operations-partly for the sake of rendering their
communities more stationary.
One should realize that the continual warfare
that has been going on for centuries among the
tribes In the wild mans territory OF Northern
Luzon has been due mainly to lack of acquain-
lance among the people. Every stranger beirs
regarded as an enemy. 1t matter of course
that each village should be at war with the neigh
boring villages and head-hunting was an import.
ant part of the regular business Of every able
bodied male citizen. The filling of the rice pad
dies and sweet potato fields could be carried
with safety only under armed guard-heads OF
women and children being not less desirable
trophies than those of mer. For doing away with
this situation Of affairs the most effective means
has been the building of roads and trails by which
the tribes have been brought into communication
with each other, thus having an opportunity to
become friends. lfugaos, Kalingas and Bontoc
lgorots now work side by side with pick and
shovel, instead of hunting each other with head
axes.
It is. in fact, a veritabe sociai revolution that
is being accomplished. All of the Mountain Prov.
ince Is being literally grdroned with trails and
roads, the most inaccessible districts being open

began to complain bitterly that no medicine was
being put on his sores. But the effect of the
drug soon manifested itself, and he went about
town exctedly demonstrating his improved con-
dition to all who would look. Some days later he
disappeared and the doctor was much dsap-
pointed, because he wanted him for an object
lesson to convince others of the efficiency Of the
treatment. To the great surprise of the hospital
staff he turned up again afterward with thir-
teen other sufferers from "yaws" whom he had
brought distance of fifty miles from his native
village in order that they also might be cured.
In Benguet the wild people building school

boys are taught to construct looms, and the girls
to use them for making cloth. Each girl, on COM

where half dozen years ago no white
man could have ventured without an
armed escort, the men and boys are

clay for the purpose was found near
the river, with unlimited quantities OF
sharp sand suitable for building near
by; also limestone. Today the people
of the entire village Of Minac, in that
neighborhood, are burning lime and
furnishing it to the government OF

independently rich at the business.
