OORVA n w ii Si u si A -S " " Vol. XLI. CORVALLK, BENTOX County, Oregon, Friday, December 16, 1QQ4. JAMES KE4NE COMING. Excellent Organization to be Corvallis Three Nights. in 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 a list of new plavs. TV,p rrfniior hill will be "The King of Rogues or Sherlock Holmes," a 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 tht ctr.rv deals with the many thrilling adventures of "Sherlock " a famous detective who is in pursuit of a noted crook. The niece is replete with excit- ltior scenes and thrilling climaxes and the scenic effects are said to ho nnitp elaborate. Mr. Keane will appear in the title role. One the most pleasing features ot this play is the fact that each member of the cast has a most exce lent part. Mr. Keane has surrounded himseif 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 Tones," a comedy of world-wide reputation and more than the usual amount of interest will be shown in this play as it was rendered here some time ago by local talent, who will no doubt be eager to compare their performance with a profes sional apereffation. TVTt- Tf.anp will offer for his closine bill his own dramatiza tion of Robert Louis Stevenson's wonderful storv l,Dr. Tekyll and This piece while wierd. "micannv and erewsome in manv respects, is an intensely fascinating one and always proves a great drawing card. High class vaudeville specialties will be introduced between the acts. The specialties will be changed each night with the play. Popu lar prices will prevail.

Corvallis has come to an awakening, as it were, of her own importance, and especially to the lact that she must keep a neat, attractive ap pearance, and always put the best foot forward, if the best i,cc of cettlers and citizens are Liaos va .jwvw.. y to be induced to come here and re main. This societv deserves much credit for its" pan in bringing about these new conditions, as it has taken the lead in new .im provements and beautifying the uelv places about town. Among other improvements the society has made on its own account, is the filling ot the bad mud holes around the C & E. depot. This week two carloads of gravel were shipped in and workmen employ ed to unload it into the mud holes in the street leading to the C. & E. depot, which has put the streets at that place in pretty good condition.
