Nov. 10,-*—Plant; en tailing the expenditure of nil ultimate $4,000,000 in the creation of a vast mountain lake and pleasure resort of ex traordinary magnitude at Chimney Rock. 20 miles southeast of Asheville in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, have just been announced b.v Colonel Joseph ll.vde Pratt, President of Western North Carolina, Inc., this disinterested body gq jng on record as wholeheartedly endors ing a project of such signal proportions and destined to have such a telling ef fect upon the entire future growth and prosperity of the I-and of the Sky. Backing ('himney Rock Mountains, Inc., as the project is to be known, are some of the most prominent and infiuen tiau business and professional men <tf the section. They are as follows {' l)r. l.ucius B. Morse. President of the Chim ney Rock Company. Kenneth S. Manner, Spindale, N.

These men fortti the nu cleus of the Hon i'll of Directors which will be extended to include many out standing men throughout the South. Jmke I.ure, ns this projected body of water has been appropriately mimed, will cover an area of- llsitfl neres, and will present u winding, evcr-eutraiic ... iug share dine nf-SfJ-milr* a.iiiiittl whh-ti will be found in wetl-planncd and artis tic manner two large hotels with golf links, cltrb house and other sports eitseu tinns: bathing beach mid goheral resort amusements; drives, wnlks and huulscaiie gardens; colonies of homos with shady, spreading lawns from which enchanting vistas of the big lake will be had. All this and more is in course of prepa mtion in the comprehensive development to be launched immediately by the Chim ney Hock Mountains. Inc. Already under option, the boundary embraced in the proposed development covers o,fioo' acres, the equivalent of 10 1-4 square miles, surrounding the fam ous Chimney Roclt itself to which more than 43,000 tourists journeyed during the summer and fall of 1023, and takes in the greater portion of Hickory Nut (Jorge at its most precipitous stages. Through the construction of a 100- foot concrete dam upon the Rocky Broad Bivcr at a point below the present bridge crossing to the winding Chimney Risk Hoad, it will be possible to form this big . lake. Its formation will submerge some three and one half miles of the Wilming ton-Charlotte-Asheville Highway this por tion of which forms an officially charted side trip from the fatuous Dixie Highway. Permission lias already been granted by the State Highway Contmissiou, without a dissenting voice, to take oxer- this part of the State system with the provision that an equally good highway skirting I.alte Lure be constructed by the corpor ation. The building of such a highway, six miles in length, together with the building of the dam, will therefore consti tute one of the very first procedures of Chimney Rock Mountains, Inc. Not only will Lake Lure be stocked with game fish upon its creation, but will also lie maintained as a sportsman’s paradise through the establishment of fish hatcheries by the company, so that * lake and adjacent mountain streams will always tempt wielder of roil and reel. A feature of decided interest is the proposed construction of a precipice ele vator to convey passengers from the base of the Chimney at what is now the park ing place, all the way to the top of the high precipice that towers far above the ' famed sentinel of stone. Plans likewise call for incline railways and other devel opment adapted to such a precipitous ter rain. There will be some 4,000 acres of land that will be laid uot along high class res idential pary lines, ns a great subdivis ion. In connection with the full beau tification Os these grounds it is proposed to establish nurseries for the pfopogation of ornamental trees and shrubs. N With the dual purpose of makiug it self suitable for both, conventions and outing parties, there will be constructed a large auditorium upon u site of special vantage. A business civic center will constitute a part of the project, the ar chitecture being carefully planned to se cure the most pleasing ■ effects. Water power, which will be developed, in large quantity by the building of the dam, will be utilized for local 'consump tion, sail Kite surplusage marketed. Abundant illumination, however, is plan ned to lend increased attractiveness to the festive night life at this new and larger Chimney Rock playground. Wuter spirts of all descriptions are to bo fostered upon the lake which will be fully equipped with pleasure boats of va rying eapahity together witli motor taxi -boat service, row boils, sail boats, and other craft. iThe Concord Daily Tribune % PYTHIAN’S HOLD DISTRICT MEETING IN THIS CITY Fifth District CYnronHrn Held Here Fri- I d y Eve ting.—Deputy Brand Cluncel -1( r Principal Speaker.

WHATS SAT'S BEAR SAYS. - Fair and slowly rising temperatures totnight and Sunday; frost tonight Armistice Day Message BY JOHN R. QUINN NATIONAL COMMANDER, AMERICAN LBOIOX Written Especially for Tribune and NEA Service Five years ago today the war ended—officially. However, it lias not really ended, nor can it epd until the principles for which our soldiers fought have been fulfilled to the utmost. IMs fitting that on this day we should rededieate omndvox to “carry ing on by solemn declaration within our owu consciences. To do your pari today in this re-pledging so principle, pause a for a moment and recall the priueifile's for which jpir men wout willingly to the chance of death— j many to die. I Y’ou remember the phrase on ttysir lips and in ; their hearts: “a war to end war." Y|t wars are not ; ended. They w#nt beyond the sea*®nto n hell of death and destruction ttytt their As and daugh ters and the sous and daughters oMlheir brothers might be spared a like horror in .tiinf to comp. Yet today there is no guarantee, no certainty that an other war will uot be forced upon this nntinn. or any nation, as shine future time. The American i-egion pledged itself at its last annual convent ion to strive unceasingly for peace. This does uot mean that we have join is 1 the ranks of thorp- so-called pacifists of war-time memory. 1 Far from it. As long as conditions may make war QI’INN necessary to protect our nation from aggression or . oppression, we stand ready, nay, anxious, to answer the call to arms, ilut xve Strike toward an era when aur liation;und all nations may live and fulfill their destinies without injustice, oppression or the necessity to protect themse ves from such by force. The American I.egion pledged itself to no one plan to end war. Neither does it ask that you do so. It is a question upon which opinions differ; each must act according to his belief. But we do ask that you, upon this Armistice Day, take solemn resolve that you will leave no act undone or word unsaid that may advance, ovpn in the smallest degree, tiie era of perpetual peace. You may not have the opportunity of speaking from a platform, but this does not excuse you. If you have one neighbor, one friend, whom you can con vert to tiie cause of peace and fail to do so. tlfen you have not kept faith with those who "sleep in Flanders Field.” There is an organization, international, of lighting men of the allied armies. This organization has declared that. An re brothers in arhis, they are today brothers in peace. Nearly every nation which stood side b.v side in the World War is represented. Here is a nucleus. But the nucleus is not sufficient in itself. It requires the Active help of world opinion. When tiie demand for perpetual peace is made. THE business, THE most urgent’ demand of every man. woman and child, then will lasting peace come. ■, I ash that NOW you solemnly enlist this greatest cause of all time, the ending of war. Thus, and thus only, can you keep faith with those who kept faith with you in the time of your greatest need.
