ACQUIRE B!LIM0RE
FAMOUS ESTATE OF GEORGE
VANDERBILT MAY BE COR
RALED IN FOREST RE-
e.
SERVE.

Biitmore, the famous 10,000-acre
estate Of George w. Vanderbilt near
Asheville, may be acquired by the
federal government under the Weeks
act for the creation of the Appaia-
chan and White Mountain Forest
Reserve The entire tract lies with
in the area which the geological sur
vey regards as purchasable under the
act, which requires that all land
bought must lie on the waters of
navigable streams, and that the pur-
chase must be for the purpose of
conserving their navigability.
A proposition for the purchase OF
the Biltmore property is now under
consideration, and representatives of
the forestry service have left Wash
ington to examine the property. 1t
Is not the intention of the govern
ment to buy the mansion, even II
the land is acquired. Mr.. Wander
bilt is said to be unwilling to dis
post OF the mansion, which cost
about s5,000,000, and the govern
ment would have no use for it.
The Vanderbilt property is within
the Mount Mitchell forest reserve
area, mostly in Buncombe county. n.
C., along the Great Craggy noun
tains. The French Broad river, ris-
ing in the Pisgah ridge. south of Bilt-
more. passes through the Vanderbilt
estate. and then through the Smoky
mountains on the Tennessee border
to the Tennessee river, which would
be the navigable stream protected
through the purchase of the Biltmore
tract.
The government has Just COM
pleted it's first purchase under the
Weeks act of a tract of 500 acres
in Mcdowell county, n, c.. which Is
10 the east of the f}iitmere tract. The
price paid was S55,9S5, or about
$3.50 an acre. At this rate the VAN
derbilt tract would cost about $780,
600.
The geological survey and the
forest service branches, which have
charge of investigating land to be
bought under the Weeks act have now
laid out tracts totaling 6,0oa.o0o
acres. Thus far 100000 acres
have been offered for sale.
The properties approved for pur-
chase by the National Forestry Res
erv alton Commission aggregate 29S,-
t465 acres, including the Mcdowell
tract, just paid for by the govern
iment. These tracts are.
| New Hampshire - 2.2o2 acres

RUSSIA CALLS
MEN TO COLORS
Mobilization in Bulgaria, Servia
and Greece Believed to Mean
Immediate War.

ST. Petersburg, Sept. aO--'rhe mobili-
cation of the armies of Bulgaria. Scrvia
and Greece will probably mean imme-
date war. according to the belief held In
political circles here. The nature of Tur-
keys military activity the last few days
is taken to mean that she intends to
make war; in that case the Balkan
coalition has naturally forestaled her in
her endeavor to profit by the rapid con-
centration of troops.
The opinion is held here that the ac-
ton Of the Balkan States has resulted
from the inability of the powers to deal
with the situation. The conversations
which the Russian foreign minister. NJ
Sazonoff, has had in London apparent
ly have been barren. 1t is understood
that Russia has taken an adequate view
of the crisis in the Balkans and has
proposed the radical remedy of putting
into effect article 90 of the treaty Of
Berlin, providing for the introduction in
the European provinces of Turkey a
statute giving a measure of self-govern-
ment under provincial governor-gen-
eral controlled by the powers.
The principal task OF the powers. in
|
be to localrze their scope. as Italy was
forced to localize hers to limited
area. The immediate danger depends
upon the possible action Of RoumanIa
instgatej by Austria Hungary. Upon
Russia virtually devolves the burden
of keeping Austria and Roumania out
side the ropes. Confidence prevails
that the condition of the Russian ar
maments is now sucn that Russia will
be able to fulfill her mission. Upon
this belief the action of the Balkan
states is doubtless based.
An imperial ukase Is published to-day
calling to the colors the reservists in 9
districts In Poland as test of mobiliza
ton. The call, 1t is calculated, applies tC
81, $50 men. The ukase states that the re
serves are called simply to test the per
oentage of arrivals and the time con
sumed. after which they may depart fo
home.
An official note explains that the tr'a
mobilization was decided upon this spring
and has no reference to the tense situa
ton in the near East.
London, Oct. IA Sofia despatch say
that the mobilization raises the Bulgar
ian army to strength of 100000 men
Martial law has been declared in the dis
trcts OF Philippopolis and Burgas and thu
