FILM INDUSTRY PROSPECT HERE IS RECOGNIZED Recognition of Oregon as an un equalled field for the motion picture Industry, and ot Central Oregon as an Important factor in that field. Is Imminent as a result of the plans which are being perfected by Fred II. Klser and bis associates in the Klser studio at Portland, and the interna tional distribution which his pictures are now to receive as a result of con tracts Just entered into, it was indi cated at Wednesday's meeting of the Dend Commercial club, when Klser and tho editor In chief of his scenario department, Dr. II. H. Matteson, were speakers. Appreciation of Centra! Oregon's scenic wonders was expressed in striking language by Dr. Matteson, recognized writer of magazine Action who is Just entering the picture In dustry. After seeing the Deschutes canyon for the first time yesterday, and this morning a little ot the mountain and timber area surround ing Bend. Matteson declared that anyone who will write a story com mensurao with the country "will write some story." "As to doing It Justice myself, I am filled with misgivings, but at the same time I am delighted with the prospect," said Matteson. The Des chutes canyon, he declared, is more impressive and carries a more vivid message than any other, not except ing tho canyon ot the Colorado. Srcks Loral Color One of the four pictures which the Kiser studio will start soon is "The Trap," a recent story written by Mat teson and published In book form, and another will be a roundup pic ture, which will be filmed at a ranch near Burns, Klser stated. The visit to Bend was planned in order to se cure local color and ideas for a story to be filmed with scenes near this city as a background. After seolug a picture recently filmed on and near Mount Hood, Matteson is convinced that the work which Klser, for many years a scenic "still" photographer, is now doing. Is the most stupendous in the film Industry. With millions ot specta tors, Klser is doing the most wonder ful bit ot exploitation ot the west ever started, said Matteson. No one can compete with him, for no other man knows the scenery ot Oregon as Klser does, he declared. Possibilities Itecognlzctl Oregon as a film center has been sold to New York and producers everywhere are now coming to real tze that Oregon has scenery and a photographic light which cannot be equalled elsewhere, said Klser. Matteson and Klser spent today visiting scenic points near Bend, and win leave tomorrow for Burns. BROOKS-SCANLON CO.

DISTRICT SETTLERS VOTE TO BOOST FEES Two Dollars Per Acre to Be Charged Next Year SMALL TURNOUT SEEN Ailvnnro In Maintenance Charge I Needed Because of Largo Out standing Indebtedness Hardy Ilr-clectcil Settlers within the Central Oregon Irrigation district will pay a main tenance fee of $2 per aero instead ot the $1.25 charge made for this purpose during the past irrigation season, as the result of elections held Tuesday In the various precincts of the district. Tho increase ot the maintenance fee was the chief fea ture In the budget submitted to the settlers, which carried by virtually a four to one vote, It was stated this afternoon by Superintendent Georgo Kan off. Detailed figures on tho vote cast were not available. The proportion ot settlers turning out for the elec tion was reported unusually light. Big Development Seen As a matter ot fact, stated Kanoff, the cost of maintenance for the com ing year will be no heavier ttjan that In 1922, but the large amount of out standing Indebtedness and Interest charges makes the Increase necessary tor the coming year at least. Big de velopments are planned on the dis trict, chief of which will bo tho re construction ot the C. O. I. flume, at an estimated cost, ot approximately $80,000. Preparation for the annual fall repairs will be begun on October 15 when water will be turned out of the canals. C. II. Hardy, director, whose term expires this year, encountered prac tically no opposition for reelection.

Shortness of time both to raise $1,000,000 by pri vate subscription and to prepare grounds and buildings aro the causes assigned by the managing commit tee for postponing the 1925 exposi tion to 1927. The exposition measure authoriz ing a tax on Portland property to raise $3,000,000 will go on the No vember ballot. It was approved by the city council with amendments. Names ot five fair commissioners, previously designated, are eliminated and a provision authorizing the coun cil, after passage ot the measure and raising of the subscription, to elect five commissioners and fill vacancies is substituted. Positive declaration is given that the exposition will be held in 1927. Levies ot $1,000,000 each appor tioned to the years 1923, 1924 and 1925, will be provided. The postponement will not alter the constitutional amendment, or en abling measure, to be balloted on by the state at large. It already pre scribes that the exposition shall be held In 1925 "or as soon thereafter as can be conveniently arranged." Members ot the fair committee ex pressed the feeling that the delay very materially strengthens the expo slston and removes existing barriers to success.
