@'ou" acres OF undiscovered Land Atop of the Majestic
ra''sades and Opposite Congested Manhattan Are
Being Taken Over by Well Known Folks

The Alps OF New York" as the Pail.
ssdes. the fifteen miles of steen cl;ss
across the Hudson, may be termed, are
to be made more accessible. An in
clined railroad such as is used in tbe
Italian and Swiss Alps is contemplated
1t VIII be built in gorge in the cliffs
just south Of the Dyckman Street ferrv
landing. The Interstate Park Commits.
sion has been considering the PROPOSAL.
and the only objection seems to be that
The structure might deface the cliffs.
which at the ferry landing are extreme
y steep and picturesque. Perhaps q
hundred feet south of the ferry slip
and back of the massive and prominent
rock formation which seems so threat
ening as it looms high above the river
is rav;ne back from the face of the
cliffs, which the engineers have Sc
ected as an ideal place for the rail-
road
Built there, the railroad structure
would not be seen from the river, and
the engineering problems would be
simple. because the grade is not steep.
Some time within the next few weeks q
dec sion will be reached.
The best of limbs and perfect work
ng lungs are needed now to negotiate
ne Nlnolng road IRON the river edge
. the cliffs above. Comparatively few
eet to the top or even attempt to, and
therefore miss one of the finest panor-
amic views that could be had any
where.
The inspiring sight from the Euro
pean Alps leaves lifelong impression
on the minds of those who get to the
summit of those wonderful mountains
end look down on the landscape below.
miniature in detail. The same feel
ing grasps those who look over the
city and the country from the top Of
he Palisades. The wide scope of
vision and the smallp sss Of things as
seen from the lofty Gifts is both awe
ing and inspiring. The range Of
vision from the Alps of New York
S said to be more than forty miles
With the aid OF lenses the country
away beyond Oyster Bay on the Sound
md Sugar Loaf to the north and the
'tatue of Liberty to the south can be

ing the movemen. OF General Wash
ington's troops. Just north of this
property the Hendrick Hudson Boule
ward is TO be carried up the elevation
Of the cliffs and joined with the boule-
ward. This Improvement will cost about
100000.
To Be Made Accessible
North of the CORVALLIS Lookout to
the state line is forest of tall and
stout timber which would bring the
lumberman fortune il he were per
mitted to cut 1t. The invasion of this
country by traction companies hardly
will be permitted. South of Palisades
Avenue the trolley will be encouraged
In fact, the trolley from the l30th
Street ferry row comes within mile
Of this thoroughfare. and when the in
clined railway is built the belief il
that it will be operated up to this point.
Both improvements would have the ef-
feet, real estate men think, of develop
ing this area with small homes. The
property north Of Palisades Avenue is
rot considered adaptable for small
home development. 1t would be years
before conditions would warrant such q.
venture.
The spread of the fine home colony
oil the Englewood slope toward the
p ateau is expected to take q lot of
the cliff property out of the market in
the next few years. The development
seems to be from the river west and
the slopes east. There is only three
quarters Of mile between the slopes
and the edge Of the cliffs.
On the slopes. such men as Thomas
lamont and Dwight Morrow, of the
Morgan firm, have built homes.
The building of the inclined railway
would accelerate the development Of
the entire country, which. strange to
say, is known by comparatively few
New Yorkers

Fashionable Section Planned
Back some thirty or forty wears ago
there VS. being formulated plan that
would have made the Palisades one of
the finest residential deve opments in
TINS part of the country. Had it pro-
gressed the property to-day could not
be had for any price, as the plan was
social leaders at etaoin etaoin NUM-
to have this table land a series OF great
landed estates, the homes Of social
leaders. 1t was to be the Newport of
New York. The plan was based on the
building Of the Mountain House on the
cliffs Just south Of Palisades Avenue
and close TO the log chin of Mr.. Young
at the corner of the Boulevard and
ia lsades Avenue. 1t was one Of the
ilrst, and perhaps the finest, hotels TO
be erected in New York's suburbs Only
the wealthiest folks could afford to live
al the Mountain House. Patrons came
across the l30th Street Ferry TO Fort
Lee, and then By stage coach up the
boulevard to the hotel.
Just about the time that patrons
were preparing to build cottages in
the woods about the hotel the structure
was destroyed by fire 1t was a bic
loss. The foundations of the Noun
tain House are stii to be seen from
the boulevard: 1t is now the property
Of an institution.
William Walter Phelps. who once
represented this country as Ambassa-
dor to France, wealthy and socially
strong, was for the plan OF taking this
property. Rutherford b Hayes, for
PrpGIdant Of
favored the plan and bought extensive
holdings. So did many other vel
known folks. Elihu Root and former
Pres ident William TAFT ere alsn aid
