Vanishes With the Sale of the Model Town of Biltitore. Kansas City Star. The model town of Biltmore, N. C., built by the late George 'W. Van derbilt In connection with his magni ficent country estate near Asheville, has been sold to the Southern Rail way and two individual' purchasers. On the site chosen by 'Mr. Vander bilt for an adventure in Utopia, the railway coimany 'will build a two million dollar piassenger station. So crumble the dreams of men. How vast a scheme Vanderbilt con ceived for developing his North Caro lina estato, no one \wiil ever know. From 1892 until his death in 191-1, 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 nmore than tenl million dollars. Two years after his death' his widow transferred to the government fifty thousand acres of the estate for a national forest reserve. Now the model town of 'Biltmore is sold, and the millionalre's plan of rural em pire begins to disintegrate. Did Van derbilt dreami a fool's iparadise on those 'North Carolina hills. He Is dead; the dream is dust and ashes. On a rainy day thirty years ago, Vandeilbir's privato car was on a side track at Asheville 'waiting to take the young millionaire back to New York. After a short stay lie had he conime disgilsted with the weather, the skyline, the hotel, with everything. ie wias to leave on the morrow. Il'uring 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 tary Park hotel he looked away to tihe nortih and saw the peak of the Rloan IoIttitainl iII Telinessee, sixty nillei's away. Southward was the grii out line of Caesar's Ilead, a mounltailn in Routh Carolina, fifty miles away. To the soitthwest, dim inl that blue haz' wii ch gives to this nioutita in its name, was; the Georgia line, niIIety miles away. To the east, standing bare an:l bleak, and reflecting the Sunl's ray., froi its snow crowned summit, wias Mount .\llehell, the i highest peak of the ilie Itilge Mo.i\ltails.

IiIs bewildered eyes took in this brilliant scene, and when he hal had his fill of it, lie ennelled the order for his private car and begani to look around for a ho1nio site.
