LONG RIFLE RANCE
Topeka Rifle Club Secures
Tract 1T Martins Hill.
War Department to Furnish
Targets State Tourney.

A committee Of the Topeka Rifle
club has made arrangements to secure
a lease of a tract OF land on Martins
hill which will be used as a state
can be secured and filed with G. I.
Martin, adjutant general of the KAN
sas National Guards, the war depart
ment Of the United States will furnish
range shooting with high power guns.
A range which would answer all re-
Quirements of the war department OF
the United States has been one OF the
ambitions of the members OF the To-
peka Rifle club. A number OF militia
none come up to the requirements OF
the war department. On account OF
this. the range when completed here
and targets set, will be the best in the
state.
The war department requires a
range Of 600 yards which will cause
the shooters to shoot directly north.
1t also requires that the surrounding
community be SO located as to cause
the rifle balls to strike into the earth
or some understandable obstruction
which will remove all danger Of injury
to persons by misspent bullets. This
range, as soon as completed, also will
be used by the local national guards
men. A large hill is behind the pro-
posed location of the targets and this
will remove all danger of injuries to
outsiders The lease on the property
will probably be drawn up and signed
some time next week or at least the
week thereafter. Practice will be
started on it at once.
The members of the Topeka Rifle
club and members of the national
guards in Topeka at once will begin
campaign to secure the state rifle
contest. This contest will bring the
club Of every militia company in the
state to Topeka and this will mean at
least 100 men in camp at one time.
Members of the Topeka Rifle club
and officers Of the Kansas National
Guards have been searching for q
suitable location for a range Of this
character for more than q year.
The targets which will be furnished
by the government are modern in
every respect and will cost $500 or
more. Experts will be employed to
install them.
