Jules verne's Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea" is being
filmed by Universal. For this purpose
an East Indian city has been built at
Universal City. This city, it is said,
has a great temple, many two-story
buildings and massive gateway and
adjoining battlements. They are solid
structures.
Work has been proceeding on this
production, which will be in IL reels.
for more than a year. il will probably
not be in complete shape for another
six months. The Universal claims to
have expended 100000 already on the
production.
Under sea scenes, it is announced,
were made some months ago in the Ba-
hama islands. Here Stuart Patton, the
director, is said to have invented and
operated a cinematgraphic submarine
vessel along the ocean bed, photo
graphing the dramatic acts of players
CARRIED in variegated costumes of
divers.
Jane Gail is playing the feminine
lead, with Allen HoIubar and Matt
Moore playing opposite. Other import
ant roles are in the hands of Joseph
Girard, William Welsh and Lois Alex
ander.
Edna Mayo in "The Return of Eve.7
They tell some interesting things
about THE Return of Eve Edna
Mayo's latest feature. For instance,
the whole fourth reel is made up of
consecutively taken, pictures. The ac-
ton all occurs in a ballroom, an elab-
crate set that filled one entire studio
at the Essanay plant, and in which 300
persons, the most ever used for an in
terror at Essanay, appeared.
In making the scenes at the Dells
much sorrow was brought to the COM
pany by the relics of true love scat
tered about in the shape of twined mi
tails circled by hearts carved around
over the scenery, which for purposes
of the scenerio, was supposed to be
virgin wilderness. Repeated retakes
were necessary, and sand filling was
adopted as a means of overcoming mi
tails.

Frank McHaffie, register of the

Pioneer as follows:
This office has been advised by
the office of Indian Affairs that
the timber land on the reserva-
ton is now being reclassified and
appraised, but that the work
will not be completed this season.
However the applicant will re-
ceive no preference right by
reason of his present application,
nor will any application be al
lowed until the regulations are
made and approved by the Sec
rotary Of the interior as to the
disposition of the timber land
under the act of May 8, 1916.

Outside of possibly two men,
now candidates for the legis-
lature, we can expect no help
from them in the legislature this
winter. Voters should take all
things into consideration and
vote as their conscience and well
fare dictate. Good schools come
first with the average citizen,
but the question to be settled
now is whether Missoula county
should build school houses for the
city of Missoula.

Boosting School Bonds

C. H. Mcleod and Sid Coffee
of Missoula, were Roman visitors
last Tuesday, coming up in the
interest of the proposed $4,000
high school bonds to be voted
upon next Tuesday. Their ar
gument for the bond issue is pre-
sented in a half page ADVERTISE
ment in this issue Of the Pioneer.
Read what the advocates of
the bond issue have to say. Gen.
orally speaking, the voters of
the reservation district have
been opposed to the bond issue
on the grounds that when school
houses were needed here it was
the residents of each individual
community that had to provide
the funds by donations, enter
tainments of various kinds, and
by other means at hand. No
help was received from Missoula
or Missoula county. Now it is
hard for them to believe that it
is up to them to assist in build
ing a $4,000 school building for
Missoula. W.
That Missoula county has ex-
pended more money on the res
ervation than it has collected in
taxes is one of the arguments
used by the bond advocates why
reservation voters should sup
port the measure. That matter
has been thrown up to US at diff
ferent times in the past, but if
they do not want us in Missoula
county it is their privilege to
kick ut out-or at least help US
to get out. In this respect, two
