The rifle range of the local militia company at Parr will be improved this year by means of a telephone system, so that communication may be had from the various firing points to the target pit. A moveable telephone will be used for the firing points, so that it can be detached from one point and connected at the next by merely hanging it to the pole. This will greatly facilitate the scoring and prevent mistakes. It is expected to begin firing as soon as the weather per mits, and to get Into as good condition as possible fen* toe company team match which will take place in May, and for the battalion team match in

June. It had been hoped to have the battalion match at Parr this year, but the Columbia City range has been placed in such good condition that the match will doubtless he held there. Company M developed three experts and a number of others who indicate that with practice they can make good. This lends encouragement that a team of five can be chosen that will give any other company in the state a race for the new shield that has been tiling up as a trophy to toe successful team The matches will be held on toe home ranges under supervision of officers from other organizations.
