All sums derived from the sale of lots are used for the improvement of the town site, and thus Baguio is made to help build itself.
In the spring of 1900 the Baguio Country Club was organized.

Because of the extraordinary false statements made concerning it by certain unscrupulous politicians, I give its history somewhat fully.

Its purpose was to afford a meeting place for the people of the town and to give them an opportunity for outdoor sports.

It purchased a hundred acres of land on which a low assessment had been placed in view of the semipublic purpose which it was to serve.
At the outset the "club house" was a rude, grass-roofed shed made of pine slabs.

Its doors and windows were mere openings which could not be closed.
