' --"V -4 t To those who have been saying that the screen is surfeited with society stories, melodramas and other plots which reveal only a minor &3pect of our modern life, it What ia unquestonably one of the most thrilling scenes eve thrown on the motion picture screen is presented :n "The Last Trail," the special feature fioni Zane Grey's novel and now being shown at the Oregon theater. The breaking of a huge concrete dam high up In the mountains destroys by flood a village in the valley below. The destruction is com plete. For this reason the director of the picture, Emmett J. Flynn. : built both the village and the dam the latter a labor of magnitude and heavy expenditure in the California mountains. The nervous tension of the av erage audience during this scene is indescribable. Lva Novak plays the leading feminine role. BERRY SESSION hi t '"T ! 1 -j f ! W.Uis M Partlett.

SY J7 IV, 1 n Four men, each accused of sell ing liquor and of having lHruor in. his possession, were meted out a wide variation oi sentences in Salem courts yesterday. The mn were arrested by police and sheriff's officers Friday night. Thomas Sheehan, said by the police to be manager of the Rut land hotel, was fined $100 by City Recorder Earl Race. Frel Scheman, said to be proprietor of the Rutland hotel, also received a $100 fine in city court. When the two men paid their respective fines they were re-arrested by county officials and arraigned be fore Jude C. E. Unruh on a charge of violat'on of the state prohibition code. This charge was presented by Deputy Sheriff Wal ter Barber, who had been active in collecting evidence against the men. "Thirty days and $o00 wa Judge Unruh's greeting to Shee han. after Sheehan and Scheman had entered pleas of guilty. Sche man was sentenced to pay a fine ot $300. Sheriff's officers reported yes terday afternoon that both men were beine held at the county jail until the fines were paid. So much for the Sheehan-Sche man deal. The two men were as sessed a total of $1000 plus Si days in jail. At the same hour Friday night James Lawriu of the Baker apart ments. and Warren Jones of 32 3 North Fourteenth street, were ar rested on a scUine-noPsession of liquor charge, according to the item entered on the blotter at the poiice station. Yesterday the pair were ar raigned before City Recorder Earl Race and sentenced to pay fin?s of $2o each. When arrested. Jones and Lawrin had been re leased afcer raying cash ba'l of $50 each, which they secured a tew minutes after being brought to the police station, according to the police. Both men had near ly $5u in their possession when arrested, officers assert. "These arrests were made in an effort to discourage the ac tivities of local bootleggers who have been varv bold recently " said Chief of Police Verden M. Moffitt last night. "This work can succeed only if supported by an ag--:re!siv( majontv of citizens who demand law enforcement. "Wh ti the law vio'ators are arrested and" after the difficult iask of securing evidence against these violators, the arrest mark? the end of the case so far as the law enforcement work is con cerned. Then it 's up to the courts. Without any intent to add to the difficulties confront ing the judges who deal with the cases, it is my personaJ belief that a stiff fine and a short, en forced jail sentence would do much to discourage those who handle the stuff."
