Vanderbilt, Sold and Thus Vanishes Picture of Rural Empire - Commerce Replaces Utopia. The model town of Biltmore, N. C. built by the late George W. Vander llt in connection with his magnificent country estate near Asheville has been sold to the Southern railway and two individual purchasers. So crumble the - ' eam s of men, says the Kansas City Star. How vast a scheme Vanderbilt con efived for developing his North Caro lina estate, no one will ever know. From 1892 until his death in 1914 he made it his life's work to block to gether 120,000 acres of mountain land, grub out the forests, plant trees, pipe water, build roads and level off a mountain peak for his palatial home, Biltmore house. The project cost him more than $10,0u00,000. Two years after his death his widow transferred to the government 50,000 acres of the estate for a, national for eat reserve. Now the model town of Biltmore is sold, and the millionaire's plan of rural empire begins to dis integrate. Did Vanderbilt dream a fool's paradise on those North Caro lina hills. He is dead; the dream is dust and ashes. On a rainy day 30 years ago, Van derbilt's private car was on - side track at Asheville waitIng te take the young millionaire back to New York. After a short stay he had become dis gusted with the wet weather, the sky line, the hotel, with everything. He was to leave on the morrow. During the night the skies cleared and the next morning young Vanderbilt rising early, watched a North - Carolina sun rise. Standing on the piazza of the Bat tery Park hotel lie looked away to the' north and saw the peak of the Roan mountain in Tennessee, 60 miles away. Southward was the grim outline of Caesar's Head, a mountain in ,South Carolina, 50 miles away. To the south west, dim in that blue haze which gives to this mountain range its name,! was the Georgia line, 90 miles away. To the east, standing bare and bleak,, and reflecting the sun's rays from its snow crowned summit was Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Rocky mountains. Remodeled Mountain. George Vanderbilt looked again and watched the sun conic up over the' peaks of the Blue Ridge mountainsl until it seemed to set the whole dome of the sky on fire, coloring eve. cloud to a bright copper hue and kin dling the heavens with long shafts of golden light. Ilis bewildered eyes took, in this brilliant scene, !1n( when he had had his fill of it, l)e canceled the order for his priv'ate car and began to look around for a homesite. lie came first upon the estate of a wealthy Southern r and offered to buy it. he Sountherder refused all ocersi. l'hen Vanderbilt searched the country bide until he found the site he want El and began to negotiate for the sand. Sonme got for $5 an acre; other tracts cost him much more, for, wvhen, it was learned ' mt; a Vanderbilt was bnying prices went, sky high. In the center of his holdings was a high mountain. The peak of this early pmi le was not i ntendled to hold 4 the k ind of nm hu ild ing George wanted so lhe se't about correct ing the error of nature. Ie sl iced off' the top andl added the cart h and rock of the re 'niov'ed portion to that which was left, making a brioadl plateau. On this pla teau he built Biltmore house. A nid what a ''house' 'it wvas ! to say that it cost nmore than $2,000,000) and contained 90 roomis gives only a skechy outline of it. It was-and is. the finest country mansion in all Amer tea, a pairadlise in the mountain, a "Chateau of the Skylarks." It standls upon an esplanade 700x300 feet, bound by retaining walls of solid masonry and~ crowned by a coping of finely dIressed stone. The outside walls of the palace are 375x1912 feet. In archi tecture it suggests somre of the famous chateaux of the Loire; yet it is no slayish copy.
