special committee has been ap-
pointed by the faculty Of Augustana
college to assist students in securing
employment in the tri-cities. The
committee is headed by Professor An
derson and includes Professors Udden,
Kjellstrand and Magnuson Many po-
sitions have already been secured by
the committee for students, but there
are still a large number who are
anxious to secure employment of some
kind to aid them in working their way
through college.
1t is estimated that more than one
half of the male students at the col
lege either wholly or partly support
themselves while pursuing their stud
les. This includes their earnings dur
ing vacation There is an increasing
demand year by year from students
for employment and the colleges that
offer the best inducements secure the
most students.
Spend S125,OOO Each Yenr.
For this reason the college authori-
ties are anxious to secure the coopera-
ton of the business men of the tri-
cities to aid in offering Inducements
to students. The value of the college
to the tri-cities increases proportion
ately to the number of students Sc
cured, and it is therefore to the inter-
est of everyone to assist the college
authorities in the matter of securing
employment for students. 1t is estf
mated that each of the 500 students
who annually attend Augustana spend
approximately $3.50 on the average.
This means that about $125,000 is
spent in the tri-cities every nine
months by the students OF Augustana
college alone.

Mr.. Walter has gone to the picturesque
and wild Hudson bay country for his
characters and locale, a fine spot
about which to lay melodrama. The
story really begins some years before
the curtain rises at a time when a half
sister of Jules Beaubien has been led
astray by an American adventura-.
This man has later departed with the
woman. and all trace of them has been
lost. The disgrace brought upon Jules
father weighs upon him, and on his
deathbed he exacts a promise from
Jules to find his step sister, Annette,
and care for her. Jules sets forth, and
the first act finds him at the home of
Andrew MacTavish, on the banks Of
the Wind river The brother has al
ready learned that his sister had found
a willing fate in a death-dealing
storm, and now, accompanied by Ba-
tiste lie Grande. a nomad of the north
west, he is searching for the adven-
tUrer who brought woe to himself and
his family. At the MacTavish home,
the wanderers find William MacDon-
aid and his assistant, George Huntley.
who are promoting the construction Of
a railroad. The former has been max
ing love to MacTavish's young daugh-
ter, Hilda, a child hated by her father
because she has the misfortune to be
girl. Macdonald, although a mar
ried man, declares that he will win
the girl and with the consent OF the
father he is about to carry out the
threat when Jules interferes. He him
self is in love with Hilda, but has
never spoken affection. During his
boasting Macdonald let's slip the fact
that it was he who wronged Annette,
and from that moment his fate is
sealed. In the fight which follows.
Huntley takes sides with Jules and
Batiste, and the trio escape along the
Little Bear river. When they are safe
ly out of danger Jules leaves the 9th
ers to go on while he returns to the
McTavish home to kill Macdonald and
avenge Annette. Before he can start,
however, Macdonald appears to regain
Hilda, and duel is fought. The fight
occurs in the dark, and is the strong
scene of the play
