Some dramas die in infancy for lack
of the elements OF success. No matter
bow elahorately presented they may be,
they fail to appeal to the public and 5000
go on the shelf. Buta melodrana like
Human Hearts" holds its original
charm. 1t has been seen throughout the
country for the past ten years, yet there
is no decrease in public interest in this
delightful play. 1t contains all the ele-
ments of success-pathos, villainy and
comedy. Besides, the scenic surround
ings make picturesque stage production
and that attracts attention.
A new electric line is announced Tor
the Willamette Valley. The WEIGH line
about which SO much has been written
and said during the last few months and
which has secured franchises from a
number of towns, including Albany, is
to have rival which says it will have
cars running as fa1 south as Linn county
within two years. The new company
announces it will build load up on the
east side of the Willamette to Albany
and over to Corvallis and back to Port
land and on the west side, with an ex-
tension up the Santiam as far as Leba-
non and possibly further into the timber
belt, says an exchange. The people
would like to see work begun o1 these
roads. There has been so much talk
that the people take these announce
ments with very large degree of doubt
The Willamette plgskin warriors and
rooters will HE themselves over to Cor-
wallis next Saturday with blood in their
eyes, to annihilate all the farmer hooters
off the gridiron which they expect to &C
complish and end the season by a bril-
liant dash for the championship trophy.
The team has strengthened it's lineup
since the fray with Oregon by placing
Un-uh and Hewitt, two well known
heavy weights, back of the line. If Will
Iamette wins the OAC game it will place
Oregon's historic institution again in line
for the championship. There will prob
ably be large crowd of enthusiasts &C. |

urday, to witness the game, which prom
ises to be one of the most interesting of
