Asheville, N. c.. October 2.-Ashe-
VILE and the whole of this section of
Western North Carolina are thorough
~ interested in the movement which
has been on foot for some time to
build an automobile highway over the
Blue Ridge Mountains from Asheville
to Alta Pass. The proposed highway
is to be known as the Ridge Road"
mately through the Western part OF
Virginia into West Virginia, making
road about 800 miles long through a
section OF the country that is unsur-
passed In scenic beauty.
State Road Engineer W. L. Spoon
was in Asheville last week. having
returned from an inspection trip over
the proposed route. He reports that
surveys nave already been made from
Linyale to Buck Creek, distance OF
about thirty miles, and that subscrip-
tons are being raised towards the
project all along the route.
The road from Asheville to Alta
Pass VIII cost about $4,000. and
petition to the State Legislature Will
De maze next spring Tor an apprOprld-
ton to build the road, while in the
meantime subscriptions will be raised
to make the surveys and locations.
The road has been under considera-
ton by residents of this section since
1t was first proposed by DR.. r. Hyde
Pratt, the State ,Geologist, and Ashe-
vile people are determined to do their
part to push 1t through. Already they
have raised about $3.50 OF the amount
required which is $500.
The road. If completed, will be of
great benefit to Asheville and this Sec
ton OF the country. as 1t will open UP
one of the most picturesque routes of
the country that has been hitherto
inaccessible. 1t Will pass by the IA
nous Mt. Mitchell, the highest peak
this side of the Rockies. and will also
pass through the Black Mountain
range and the Craggy Range, both
noted Tor their scenic beauty.
1t Is proposed to build branch

Likes Smith StimwelI's Methods
Steele Ozone: Among the candi-
dates before the primaries Hon. Smith
Stimmel of Casselton appears to be
on the Independent plan, as contem-
plated by the primary law. He is
not the candidate of any faction, eth.
er by coalition, cabal or elimination
process. He simply comes out as a
candidate on his own platform, and
puts himself in a position where the
public may know where he stands.
This is the right idea of the prim-
airy law. To those who do not know
Mr.. Stimmel personally, and we are
one of them, his attitude is in his
favor. When his possible candidacy
was first noted in the state press, the
writer asked a stalwart why he was
not about the most desirable candi-
date so far preached for the repub-
lican ticket, judging by his establish
ed record as a public man and his
general attachments. We received
the reply that he was just that, and
that he would be a man on whom
both factions could easily unite If
they wanted to do that with any one.

PUBLISHER BOYCE IS
PUMMELED BY HIS son

Chicago, May 21.-W. D. Boyce,
millionaire publisher, big game hunt
er and society man, was pummeled
very severely by his son, Ben S.
Boyce, rs years old, who waylaid him
at the main entrance of the Black
stone hotel at midnight last night.
The son was in fury because of
the announcement of his fathers en-
gagement to Miss Virginia Dorcas
Lee, the beautiful young daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Adams Lee, of
Oak Park. Mr.. Boyce is divorced.
His children have always sided with
the mother.
The son waited in the Blackstone
entrance nearly an hour. His faith
ers automobile drew up at the curb
and the elder Boyce stepped out. The
son, darting down the step, reached
his father just as the elder mans
foot struck the sidewalk.
The encounter was opened with a
heavy blow that staggered the old
man. This blow was followed by an
other. The Boyce chauffeur sprang
to his employers aid, momentarily
diverting the sons attention, but was
quickly knocked out of the way.
The elder man seized this moment
to dash into the hotel. The son pur-
sued, pausing, but not stopping, when
the door man struck him in the face.
The elder man jumped into an ele-
vator. The operator tried to close
the door He wasn't quick enough.
The son sprang in after the father,
and there was a rough and tumble
fight for minute in the car. Sew
eral employees OF the hotel took a
hand, hurled Ben Boyce out of the
elevator, slammed the door and the
car shot upward.
A house policeman felled young
Boyce and held him to the floor until
a patrol wagon arrived to take the
prisoner to the Harrison street sta
ton.
w. D. .Boyce obtained a divorce in
South Dakota, Boyce having his le-
gal residence at his hunting lodge at
Fort Sisseton in that state. He
charged that his wife was cruel be-
cause she loved his money more than
she loved him.
Boyce achieved considerable pub
licity in 1906 by Offering on behalf of
himself and a syndicate of capitalists
to take over the United States mails,
with the provision that he would re-
duce the charges on first-class mail
one-half. Within the last few months
he made a trip to Africa while Roose-
welt was still there, with two bal
looms and an aeroplane to take photo
graphs of wild animals.
