DIRECTOR WRITES DRAMATIC STORY Powers of Extension School Has New Tale Accepted LOCAL SETTING FEATURED Author Has Had Many Works Taken by Magazines Alfred Powers, director of social wel fare and visual instruction in the ex tension division, has a story published in the October issue of the St Nicholas entitled “The Vanished Riders.” Mr. Powers has had several stories published during the past year. The setting of “The Vanished Rid ers” is in the Umpqua canyon between Jacksonville and Roseburg. The plot describes the manner in which two boys outfit a group of hostile Indians by reversing the shoes on their horse’s feet. The incident is an actual hap pening and the atmosphere created by Mr. Powers converts the plot into a very likeable story. Other stories written and published by Mr. Powers include “Marooned in Crater Lake,” “The Hickory Bank,” “Robinson Crusoe of Oregon,” “The Dinner Call,” and “Three Barrels of Water.” The October Century Maga zine says of “Marooned in Crater Lake,” “Many of our readers will re member it, for it was unusually in teresting and exceedingly clever.” This story told how two boys con structed and flew a kite, thus attract ing attention and saving their lives when they had been marooned. The “Hickory Bank” is now being usel in a fouth reader in the New York City and some New England public schools. “The Dinner Call” is as fascinating as the rest. It deals with a girl who has been left alone in a cabin in the Indian country. She prevented an attack by a band of Indians when she set the dinner table for four persons and blew the dinner horn as if summoning someone to eat. This also is an actual happening. Mr. Powers expects to publish the stories in a series, forming a collection of youthful advouture stories in Ore gon.
