Resolutions OF Sympathy.

At the last regular meeting OF Gen.
Lyon w r. G. the following sol
tions were adopted.
The portals of the great unknown
have again opened and the death
angel has darkened another home
and claimed our friend and comrade
F. A York.
No other form can fill his vacant
chair, his tongue is now silent, silent
so far as this life is concerned.
May we not hope that somewhere
in that bright land the husband and
father is waiting, and when that I'M
ion comes parting will be no more.
Therefore be it Resolved.
That the members of General Lyon
W. r. C. No. s, offer to our esteemed
sisters Eliza York and Addie. Hawn
and all other relatives our loving
sympathy and recommend to them
the sustaining power of the Heavenly
Father.
Resolved,
That these resolutions be spread upon
our records a copy be sent to the
family also published in the local
papers Of our city.

AMERICANS ARE
BEST GUNNERS
IN THE WORLD

Washington, ID. c., Aug. l.-Naval OF
fcers are not inclined to easily concede TO
the British navy superiority In target
practice with 6-pounders or any other
calibre. and stick to their original state
ment that the American Navy has out
scored the navies Of the world In shoot
ing with all or any of the calibres.
They say that there is evidently con-
fusion between the regular 6-pounder gun
used in the American Navy and the auto
matte gun. The 6-pounder OF the Ameri-
can Navy fires only about % shots per
minute, while according 10 the state
ments of the achievement OF the destroy
er Bruizer "a shots were fired within one
minute.
Naval officers say that there must be
an error I'm the number Of shots or in the
time within which they were fired.
The discussion Is bringing out many
important points of difference between
the English and the American practice.
In the former the range is only 700 yards
and the target is eight by six feet and is
stationary while the firing ship moves at
from 10 to Is knots. In the American tar
get practice the target is two and a half
times as large as the English target. ac-
cording to the statements made, but navy
officerS here say that tnlS is more tnan
offset by the fact that the target is In
motion and also that the range is 1900
yards instead OF 200 yards.
The discussion has brought to light a
number of perfect records made by g.
Founders on American ships. In addition
to that of the Tacoma, 10 consecutive hits
in less than minute, and that in a bad
light at night, II was said today that on
the Iowa in Daylight % hits in 20 shots
were made in less than one minute. while
on the Paul Jones, a destroyer. 10 hits
were made. out OF % shots, all delivered
in less than a minute.
Although the policy OF the department
is TO maintain secrecy as to the actual
record made by the different guns In
target practice, the majority OF naval Of
ficers frankly say that in their opinion
II would be well for the American navy
to publish its scores in detail
