CAMP DODGE, Des Moines, Ia.
July 20.-Camp Dodge, as this place
is named, is large reserve owned by
the state and used for military pur-
poses, including encampment training
schools, rifle firing and other forms
of interesting diversion which our
National Guardsmen enjoy from time
to time during their enlistment.
There are permanent buildings such
as the administration building, mess
hall quartermaster's store house,
kitchen, etc., and a large plateau on
which the tents are pitched. There are
in attendance at the meeting team
of six men from every company in
the state. There are four regiments of
fc-ty-eight companies represented in
all with staff and on-commissioned
staff, about $50 in all firing with the
necessary pit men. Including range of
ficers and all there are about six hun
dred in camp here.
The men are quartered in 1870 tents
pitched in eight rows of fifteen tents
each. The officers are assigned two in
tent and are supplied with cots and
blankets.
The rifle range is equipped with for
ty targets and is divided into ranges
from 200 to 1000 yards. There are al
SO telephone buyers, signalling de-
vices and in every sense it is mod

rifle is strictly scientific game. At

must study the climatic conditions
that effect the course of bullet. If a
man can learn to sight certain mark
his success will then depend upon
his knowledge of the sights. There
are adjustments for elevation and
windage which are scientifically cor
rect and if the firer can correctly
estimate the velocity of the wind and
can decide on the effect of the eli
matte conditions he can adjust his
sights to overcome any opposing condi-
