HUGE STUDIO
TO Be BUILT
!. BY TRIANGLE
Mammoth Plant is 10 Be Erect
ed in a Suburb .; Los
Angeles.

The purchase by Thomas H. 1nce
OF approximately twelve acres Of
land in Culver City, Cal. to be used
as the site Of a new studio for the
production Of Ince-Triangle features
was announced this week from the
melville studios Of. the New York
Motion Picture Corporation. Com
ing. as it does, at time when Ince
and his pictures are subjects Of wide
discussion in Aim circles. this news
has stirred the west coast photoplay
colony to q noticeable pitch Of in
terest and already has given rise to
an intense anticipation Of seeing the
proposed plant in full operation.
Los Angeles Suburb.
Culver City is suburb Of Los An
geles. 1t being situated about half
way between the city Of Aims" and
the numerous beach resorts. 1t is a,
community ofrapidly increasing pop
ularity by reason of its proximity to
Los Angeles and in addition to that
advantage 1t possesses unusual ia
cii!ties for motion picture making.
That fact Is what prompted Ince to
negotiate for the purchase Of tho
tract. 1t has been the great pro-
ducer's belief for some time that
melville. the present locale Of the
New York Motion Picture Company
producing plant, In the Santa Monica
mountains, is inadequate-and. at
times, inconvenient-for the produc-
ton of the multiple reel plays he is
making for contribution to the Tri-
angle. He has been seeking site
that offers the combined advantages
Of convenience and scenic beauties.
And, in Culver City, he has found 1t.
Mammoth Affair.
That the new plant will be one Of

ton. These will include six stages.

THE MONTEZUMA VALLEY.

Papers all over the state are boost
ing Montezuma valley and calling at
tention to the sale of state lands to
be held May 18th. OF the fertile
section, the Western Farmer says:
The Montezuma valley of Colorado
is perhaps the most overlooked place
of agricultural opportunities in the
southwest. Its climate is ideal. There
is no more fertile soil anywhere. AL
ready considerable land is under ir-
rigation, and arrangements are well
under way to include much of the bal
ance. The range of farm production
is very wide. 1t is a splendid grain
country, produces such crops of ap-
pies, pears, peaches, and small fruits
of unexcelled quality, and grows ev-
erything necessary to livestock pro-
duction. The only drawbacks have
been distance from market, and lack
of people and capital sufficient for
proper development. Notwithstand-
ing faulty transportation and market
ing conditions the country has made
great progress. Beautiful, prosper
Gus homes have been built, and ex-
ceptionally good country schools es-
tablished. One large reservoir and
distributing system have been con-
structed and are in use, and another
great storage reservoir is planned
The state owns some of the best land
in the valley. No adequate arrange
ment was made in the past for the
state land to pay its share of the
ditch construction, and the price of the
land was placed at figure at which
it could not be sold. The land board
has reduced the price to make it prac-
ticable for buyers to purchase water.
In addition to the irrigated section
there is a large tract of country to
the northeast that is successfully
farmed without irrigation.
The whole valley lies we'll for irri-
cation, and is fortunate in possessing
the best natural drainage. Indeed the
possibilities of repeated use of water
are quite promising.
Opportunities throughout this sec
tion are inviting. Land and water
are both cheap. Hog growing, dairy
ing and poultry are all successful, and
the prospect for continued high pri-
ces will probably greatly increasa
lines of production.
