ings preliminary to the suit for
divorce between Joseph Turner

Cutty McMillan.
"I can't award alimony for the

marriage on the ground her bus
band forced her to marry him
at the point of a plchfork. He
not only threatened to kill her,
but told her he would kill her

SlbO for 80-Foot Jump
Finds No One Wiltins
Would you leap fifty feet off a
high crag into a boiling rapids for
1100? This amount of money was
recently offered by a motion pic
ture company inning scenes for
vne of their pictures up in the
Maine woods and there were no
takers.
Natives of that wild backwoods
country of the Pine Tree state who
ra used to facing wounded moose
n4 black bears in traps andIher
dangers with which the T!ark
wood there abounds turned down
sold th chance to make It 00 by
risking the jump into the rapids.
The picture, during the making
of which this particular Incident
occurred, la "God's Couutr and
the Law," the latest Curweod film
drama, which will be show at the
Oregon theatre on Thursday and
Friday.
The director of the company
had to finally withdraw his offer
and GJadyi Leslie, the star, un
able to find anyoue to double in
the leaping scene for her, went
through with it with a great dis
play of grit. She made tho leap,
landed In the rapida and was fur
ried several hundred yards down
ctreaui befrre she was taken from
immigration from Switzerland to
the American continent. Content
ment was a predominating charac
teristic before the wave of post
war unrest and depression. Now
large numbers of the Industrious
folks are turning hopeful faces to
ward Canada. The influx Is ex
pected to be large. '
Experience has shown that the
Swiss are most desirable Immi
grants. Their natural Industry
makes them builders. Their quick
adoption of western manners
makes assimilation easy.
Of Canada's total population the
Swiss comprise less than 10 per
cent. Practically all are prosper
ous farmers. The forefathers nf
many were pioneers. The first
Swiss settlers came over just a
hundred years ago.
Clearing Land bv Fire
in North Alberta
Edmonton, Alta., Nov. 21.
Clearing land by fire is a new
method being tried out In northern
Alberta. A tract of 100,000 acres
of government land In the Battle
river district, sixty miles north
east of Peace River landing, most
of which Is bush country, is being
cleared by means of controlled
fires. The work Is being carried
out by a parly of twelve men sent
from Edmonton by the land de
partment of the dominion govern
ment.
Trial of the fire method of clear
ing land was made last year and
proved entirely practicable. When
carefully set and controlled fires
were found to be the Quickest,
cheapest and most effective method
of clearing and will In the future
be extensively used on government
lands In the north.
The Battle river land being
burned off will be thrown open to
settlers. The Peace river region is
a rich farming country. Though
far north, it is warmed by Chinook
winds and has as mild a climate
as parts of Canada much farther
south. Livestock graze In the pas
tures all the year round and forty
bushels of wheat to the acre Is a
ommon yield.
The rush to the Fort Norman oil
fields on the MacKenzle Is expect
ed to bring many settlers Into the
Peace river valle. Men of the
north country declare there Is
more money to be made in farm
ing In this fertile region than In I
boring for oil at the frozen top ot
the continent.
