SHOOT
 OF RIFLECLUB
 HELD TONIGHT

The Cordova Rifle Club will hold it's second indoor shoot this evening at Blum ONeill No. 2 warehouse on c. street. Here a suitable space has been kindly donated and at pres ent the fifty foot range is being used
 At the initial shoot of this club which was held last Monday eve ming there were fourteen members present and keen interest shown, and some very good scores made. Members may use their own rifles providing they shoot 22 short, long, or long-rifle ammunition, or they may use the club rifles as furnished by the government. Peep or open sights are allowed Each member of the club is allowed two hundred free round small ammunition per year.
 In order to accommodate those who wish to shoot their score early the range will be open at ' p. m. There are forty-four paid up mem bers enrolled, and all are urged to attend these shoots in order that expert material may be developed, as it will undoubtedly be but a short time before contests will be arranged between the clubs of several towns that have similar organization. Juneau, Ketchikan and Anchorage also have organized rifle clubs and are most enthusiastic. These clubs, like the Cordova Rifle Club, are affiliated with the National Rifle Club of America. Further informa- tion may be obtained from Chet. Mellison, president; T. N. Hubbert, vice president, and Chas. Foyston, secretary.
