DEVELOPS CHARACTER!
Pinehurst's Changes Have Been Along
This Important Line.
IMPROVEMENTS OF THE PAST SUMMER
HAVE 15EEN AMONG THE MOST IM
PORTANT THAT HAVE EVER TAKEN
PLACE.
ljVlNEHUliST has been a busy place
V this past summer, and even though
the changes wrought may not be evident
at the first or casual glance, they are,
nevertheless, the most important that
have taken place in the brief and remark
able transformation that has been made
here from Desert to Oasis the establish
ment of this unique New England village
in the Southland.
The growth of the child is easily dis
tinguished by all, even those in constant
association with it, but later, this growth
is barely noticable to parents, best dis
tinguished by those who see it from time
to time. And at last, it becomes scarcely
noticable to the casual observer either in
the family or without; only distinguish
able by those who a-e closely associated
and who look carefully. But this devel
opment of Character, going silently and
invisiblr on, suddenly blooms into
maturity !
Thus it lias been with this Village of
the Southland. At first its rapid growth
was a cause of wonder and admiration,
alike to those closely connected and those
outside. Then there came a time when
the changes were best judged by those
who came occasionally and who judged
by comparison, and now the time lias ar
rived when the development is most
visible to those who are closely associat
ed and who look carefully.
Pinehurst is developing Character; de
veloping the quiet dignity which comes
with maturity ! And with this change
it becomes a more admired and trusted
friend and companion !
Probably the most important change
has been the work carried on by Mr.
George Simes, manager of the Sanitary
Agency, successors to Frederick Tudor,
Boston, Mass., and by which Pinehurst
will be made Perfection from a Sanitary
standpoint; perfection in accordance with
the highest standards known in this age
of scientific enlightenment. When the
work is completed, every building in the
Village will contain a certificate assuring
the occupants to this effect. Nothing
will be left undone that would com
plete the work, and as a result Pinehnrst
will stand alone in one more particular,
as the Only Absolutely Healthy town, from
a sanitary standpoint, in the World.
Mr. Simes has explained this work in
detail, and the result is an interesting
and instructive paper which will be found
elsewhere in The Pinehurst Outlook.
Another important departure has been
the establishing of the Pinehurst Shoot
ing Preserves, comprising 30,000 acres of
the best hunting territory in the section,
easily accessible from the Village. Pine
hurst fairly radiates healthfulness, not
only to its inhabitants, but throughout
the land. Its bright sunshine, beautiful
scenery, clear air and pure water, make
men and women of blood; men and
women who love Nature and the sport
she offers. The Pinehurst Golf Links
gratifies these tastes in one particular,
riding and driving offer another source,
and now hunting is added to complete
this Trinity of out-door enjoyment.
The hunting season is now at its best,
and in consequence, a special article is
devoted to the Pinehurst Preserves and
the experiences of the fu st sportsmen to
visit them.
The establishment of large Poultry and
Dairy plants is another of the important
additions, which is to add vastly to the
cattle and poultry farms a simple matter.
The work of clearing land has prog
ressed rapidly, and nearly one hundred
and twenty-five acres have been added
during the past six months, which will
be used for soiling crops.
Particular attention has been given to
the Golf Course, it having been seeded
throughout with the end of providing a
more perfect turf through the fair green.
The buildings of the Village are being
repaired and repainted, and the work is
now being pushed forward as fast as is
consistant with thoroughness. The com
pleted results are most marked.
Among the most important of the pro
jected plans is the building of a new
Public Casino, with a main building 200
feet square, the whole building having a
total frontage of GOO feet. This building
will be for the use of all the inhabitants
of the Village. It will contain a swim
ming pool, 35 x 100 feet, with an average

physical enjoyments of the inhabitants
of the Village. Here will be kept a large
herd of graded cattle to supply fresh
milk and cream, fresh eggs and poultry.
Eventually it is intended that these plants
shall supply the entire demands of the
Village.
Agricultural experiments have been
conducted upon the farm, some GO acres
having been under cultivation during the
past summer, and it is found that cow
peas and corn may be grown in abund
ance. Particularly gratifying results
were found in the raising of corn, some
patches averaging from twelve to fifteen
feet in height, thus proving that knowl
edge only is required to make this section
a garden spot, lioth corn and cow peas are
excellent food for cattle and poultry, and
the ease with which they may be sup
plied makes the provision of food for
depth of 0 feet, reading and game rooms,
and a full equipment of indoor amuse
ments: Billiards, bowling, ping-pong,
basket ball and the like.
New water works are also to be estab
lished upon a much larger scale to supply
the increasing demands of the Village,
occasioned by present and prospective
needs.
An addition to The Harvard is to be
made which will double its capacity, for
which plans for immediate work are in
readiness.
The ultimate plan is to heat all the
buildings of the Village from the power
house by steam, but this work has not
been carried out, owing to the fact that
the coming water works extension and
other changes made it seem advisable to
postpone this work until it could be done
with a view to greater permanency.
PINEHURST PRESERVES!
In Equipment and Extent They Are
Finest in the Country.
MR. LEONARD TUFTS AND PARTY OF
PROMINENT BOSTON SPORTSMEN OPEN
SHOOTING SEASON OTHER NOTES.
One of the notable additions to Pine
hurst's attractions, made during the past
summer, is the establishment of Pine
hurst's Shooting Preserves. Sportsmen
and sportswomen everywhere will wel
come this announcement, for not only is
the location the best obtainable and birds
abundant, but in addition, the Village,
with its hotels and cottages, provide ac
commodations to suit all tastes.
There was a time when men were con
tent to "rough it" with good sport close
at hand, but that day is past. Modern
life has revolutionized old methods, and
the successful shooting preserve of today
must not only provide game in abund
ance, but suitable accommodations as
well. In this particular, Pinehurst has'
no competitor, and its future, as a resort
for sportsmen, bids fair to rival its pop
ularity as a winter resort for those who
seek rest, recreation and health.
Moore County and the section round
about the Village of Pinehurst, has long
been noted for its abundance of game :
quail, turkey, deer and hares, and its
quail are undeniably the largest in size
and strongest of wing of their species,
idealizing this and recognizing the con
stantly increasing tendenc' toward
shooting, Mr. Leonard Tufts, owner of
Pinehurst, has gradually acquired by
purchase and lease, some 30,000 acres,
nearly fifty square miles, of the best
hunting territory in this section ; form
ing what is without question, the largest
private preserve under the control of one
man, in the South.
To further perfect the scheme and in
crease the number of birds, large patches
of cow peas, a hundred in all, have been
established at stated intervals throughout
the .preserve. These were planted last
year and left unharvested, as food
for the quail, and of which they are
passionately fond. In addition, stocking
will be indulged in liberally in order that
the supply of game may be more than
usually abundant, amply able to keep
ahead of the drain made upon it by the
hunters.
The Preserves are under the general
management of Dr. C. D. Jones of Mil
ton, N. II. In connection with the
Preserves are the Pinehurst Kennels,
under the direct supervision of Mr.
Alliston Gray, who as a trainer and guide
at the High Point (N. C.) Kennels, has
had a long and valuable association with
sportsmen from all parts of the country.
Twenty-two blooded dogs in all are at
