TRI-STATE FAIR WILL
BE HELD SEPT. GA

The Lewiston-C Charleston TrilState
Fair VIII be held in Lewiston this
year September Ola inclusive. The
plans for this years fair call for n
somewhat changed and varied pro-
gram. The action of state officials in
prohibiting exhibitions of livestock
necessitated the cancelling of live
stock features at the Lewiston show
but additional labor and expense will
provide an exceptional agricultural
and horticultural exhibit.
The entertainment program will
include an unusual racing program.
Relay races will be daily features
while the auto races and motor style
show promise classic entertainment
in their line. Professional drivers
some of them holders of worlds rec.
ords, and specially constructed rae
ing cars should make this part of
the program the best of its kind ever
in this territory. Trick
and fancy riding for exhibition will
hold a place in each DAYS events

which had been amicabIe almost since
the advent of the first pioneer.
Whichever district the girl was
bound for, it was impossible to mis-
take the course that she would take
initially. In front of Lee lay a long
backbone of mountain, with only a
single pass into the interior over a
range of many miles.
Scanning the valley carefully, Lee
saw, about a mile beyond the pass, a
thin curl of smoke rising into the still
air.
Satisfied that he had the girl In
sight, Lee hesitated for a while, I'M
decided whether to ride up to her, or
to camp where he was. keeping a look
out for Pierre and Shorty. In the end
he decided that the better course
would be to make himself known, and
accordingly he descended the slope
and followed the trail along the bank
Of the river until he reached the camp.
The girl had already set up her tent,
her horse was tethered near the
stream, and she was cooking her din
ner at a fire which she had made.
She looked very trim and business
IKE win ner sleeves rolled up to her
elbows and her air of being completely
Mt home in these surroundings.
AS Lee jumped from his horse she
started, then looked at him with an
expression of calm which was an at
tempt to conceal a very obvious trepi-
dation.
Good evening"" he called. I'm
travelling your way, and saw your
camp fire, so took the liberty of join
ing you, if there's no objection
She stared hard at him as if his ad
vent were some long expected blow
that had suddenly fallen. For a fev
moments she seemed under the Il
f1uence of an all-possessing fear. Thea
mastering it, she answered with th
same affectation Of Indifference:
"You can camp where you like, OF
course. The range is free for ALL"
Lee, a little staggered at the unwii,
.lingness Of this invitation, decided
that it would be better for the present
not to alarm her with any explana.

near hers. While he was unloading his
pack and watering his horse, the girl
on with her meal, without paying
any attention to him.

ones of the two men.
Then Pierre leaped to the ground
"By gar, it's de Teller dat tell me

"You won't play it here, then !" bel

Oaths poured from his lips. "Pack

advanced on Lee with b~elligerent ges-
lures.

His right hand made a movement

was in the holster at the back of his
hip, and there was nothing in the
pocket more lethal than his pipe.

Methods Of Manufacturing
Developed 10 Meet Crow
ing Demand

Opportunity for manufacture Of
q building material much in demand
has been opened to progressive
men familiar with building opera
lions through development Of q
method and machinery for produc-
ing concrete tile for roofs.
Increasing demand for q sub.
stantial and decorative material for
roofs has been realized for some
time. Makers Of roofings OF various
types have been profiting. Recently.
methods and machinery for making
attractive colored tile from cement
were developed to the point where
the enterprise OF making the ma
terial for the market became attrac-
tive.
Concrete tile, which can be pro
duced IN all suitable colors, are
adapted to all types Of buildings
where the tile roofs Of other types
are used. They are so nodded
that their application to the root
Is simple and interlocl1ing. The
tile may be produced both In the
flat, French style and the curved
Spanish variety, with the machinery
designed to produce all forms
needed for complete roof covering.
Fireproof quality OF concrete roof
ing, attractive color combinations
possible and permanence have made
this material popular where 1t has
been made available to builders.
The machinery utilized in making
roofing is ingenious well worth In,
