JAMES KEANE COMING.
Excellent Organization to be IN
Corvallis Three Nights.

At the Corvallis Opera House
next Monday night James Keane,
a popular young Eastern actor,
who has been meeting with great
success in the West this season,
will inaugurate a three-nights'
engagement. Mr.. Keane comes
to Corvallis with an enviable rep
utation and list of new PLAYS.
The opening bill will be "The
King of Rogues or Sherlock
Holmes" dramatization OF one
of Sir Conan Doyle's famous de-
tective stories and a play that has
a remarkably successful run in
all the large Eastern cities. The
scene of acting in "Sherlock
Holmes" is laid in London and
the story deals with the many
thrilling adventures of "Sherlock
Holiness" a famous detective
who is in pursuit of a noted crook.
The piece IS replete with excit-
ing scenes and thrilling climaxes
and the scenic effects are said to
be quite elaborate. Mr.. keane
will appear in the title role
One the most pleasing features
of this play is the fact that each
member of the cast has a most
exec lent part. Mr.. Keane has
surrounded himself with an ex'
ceptionally strong supporting
company and some splendid per
formances may be looked for
ward to.
The second play will be,
"What Happened to Jones,' &
comedy of worldwide reputation
and more than the usual amoun
of interest will be shown in thi:
play as it was rendered here some
time ago by local talent, who will
no doubt be eager to compar'
their performance with probes

Much Good Work Done,

The Village Improvement
Society has done a vast amount
of good since its organization
for the upbuilding and improve
ment of Corvallis. Since its or
panization it has caused many
unsightly places to be cleaned up
and has also had much to do
with interesting residentsin clean
in, up yards, trimming ragged
hedges, fixing up torn down
fences, sidewalks, etc. There
has been such a great improve
ment in Corvallis during the past
two years, that it is at once
noticeable to former residents
and visitors when they arrive IN
the CITY now. Corvallis has come
to an awakening, as it were,
of her own Importance, and
especially to the tact that she
must keep a neat, attractive ap'
pearance, and always put the
best foot forward, if the bes
class of settlers and citizens art
to beinduced tocome here and re
main.
This society deserves mucl
credit for its part in bringing
about these new conditions, as
has taken the lead in new I'm
provements and beautifying tn
ugly places about town. Amon'
other improvements the societ..
has made on its own account, l
the filling of the bad mud hole
around the c. & E. depot. Thl
week two carloads of gravel wer
shipped in and workmen EN- plo,
ed to unload it into the mud hole
in the street leading to the {

streets at that place In prett
good condition. Such imProv
ment as this is what gives visito

Early London Motor Buses.

From the London Gazette.
Now that there appears to be an early
prospect of a service of motor omnibuses
for London, it is interesting to note the
curious fact that with the exception of a
few months about four years ago, no horse
less omnibus has been licensed in London
for SiXty-Rye years. In the far-away thir
ties the motor omnibus was very familiar
sight in London streets. In 1888 Haneock's
steam omnibus, the Era, was painting it's
way many times a day between Paddington
and the Bank, doing ir5 ten miles an hour
and carrying fourteen passengers at the
modest fare of sixpence each 1t is true
that the Era had an unamiable trick of
breaking down just when its passengers
were most in a hurry; and it usually took
half an hour or more to start it again. But
even our thousandpound motor cars of to-
day have their eccentric moments. The
Era's twin sister. the Autopsy, was q still
more capricious vehicle She ram when she
could be induced to run. between Pentonville
and Finsbury square, and was an attractive
looking omnibus with open front, which
three open-air passengers shared with the
conductor. But both F.: "a and Autopsy suf-
fered eclipse when Hancock produced his
Automaton. an omnibus with certified
speed of twenty miles an hour over a meas
ured mile on the Bow road, and capable of
carrying twenty-five passengers. The Au
tomaton was free lance" and ran wher
ever passengers proved most plentiful-to
Islington, Paddngton, Stratford or the
city. But the turnpike act sounded the
death knell of these pioneer horseless omni-
buses, and in 1910 they vanished.
