and is fitted for shooting at all dis
tances from 200 to 1900 yards, was
procured through the untiring efforts
of Col. D. Gay Stivers, who has been
president of the club since 1899.
Local riflemen first gained nation
al prominence when they won the in
door championship of the United
States during the season of 19lO-11
and repeated the triumph the follow
ing year. The glory of the victories
is sweeter than ever since COMPETE
ton was against several thousand
teams, many of them paid profession
ais representing makers of arms and
of munitions. Since winning the ma
ttonal championships Butte has rank
ed we'll up towards the top of the
great list every year.
At the Missoula stampede in July,
1915, three five-men teams were sent
from the local club to shoot against
the best of the west. All team prizes
and all individual honors except one
second place were annexted by the
Butte boys, and at the stampede the
following year the Butte riflemen
copied all honors without exception.
This second year. 1916, in Septem-
Der, all teams of the northwest were
, invited to compete on the range near
Rocker. To make it fair for all COM
ers it was agreed that Butte take but
one first prize. The big event of the
tournament was the team contests
and Butte grabbed first honors in
this and retired. Telegraph matches
were shot that year against most of
the leading clubs in the country and
all were defeated except Los An
geles quintet.
In addition to having the most ex-
tensive and best equipped civilian
range in the nation, the Rocky Noun
tain Rifle club operates at the least
membership cost Of all, yearly dues
Of So and an initial fee of IS being
the extent of local assessments. Any
member can shoot at any time desired
and to cope with the Sunday rushes,
relays of targets allowing Is men to
fire at a time have been installed.
Each year all riflemen of Montana
are invited here to contest for places
on the team which represents the
state at the national matches at Camp
Perry. One feature of the local club
is the making up Of pay for all team
members who lose their salary while
on the trip. This is big item, since
the team each year must remain at
Camp Perry for an entire month. On
this team IL men try for honors and
Of these six each year must be men
who have never entered a contest of
the kind. In connection with the
shooting long course of instruction
is given which fits all contenders as
able instructors in musketry to help
the cause along when they go home.
Every week finds men who have
never touched a rifle visiting the
Rocker range. Generally the first
trip Is out Of curiosity. The enjoy
ment of the sport and the keen ap-
peal Of sportive competition leads
most to ask for chance to try their
luck and they're soon at it in earnest
All visitors are welcome to try their
hand at shooting and are given all
necessary pointers by instructors who
rank with the best in the rifle game.

sP v sT Record Cargo Coming Up Warrior River

H1 HE self-propeller Tuscaloosa, now U coming upstream from New Orleans, brings record cargo. Its entire protected tonnage capacity was taken by shippers of merchandise. Birmingham is among the cities in the 20 per cent freight differential territory to receive the largest con- signment since the river commenced bearing merchandise freight.
 Another feature of this cargo is that four new points have goods billed to them. These are Opelika, Oakman, Jasper and Fayette. Two boundary Mississippi cities, Aberdeen and Amory, have cargoes, and Atlanta, which has patronized the line from the beginning, is getting coffee and sugar.
 Continuous use of the Warrior barge line by Atlanta, Montgomery and the Mississippi border towns is proof positive that they find it ad- vantageous to get goods by the river. They would not patronize the river from patriotic reasons only, because they are removed from it, and the inducement to patronize is purely the saving of 20 cents on each dollar of freight.
 The barge line delivers goods just the same as though they came by rail. The delivery is at the warehouse door of the merchant, not at the river side. The 20 per cent saving is net.
 Two more self-propellers are com ing, one in few weeks. When all four are on the Warrior there will be a semiweekly service between New Orleans and BirmNgham uninter- rupted at any time by sidetrack con gestion, snow, ice or other hindrance.
 The barge line is rapidly becoming a fixed quantity in the economy of this district and the entire territory enjoying the river rates.

Atlanta Votes $8,85O,0OO
 of ImprovemeDt Bonds

1T 1T ATS off to Atlanta! She has U U broken the spell of pessimism by voting $8.85O,OOO of public inn provement bonds. Of the issue $4,000,- 900 will go to schools, $2,85O,0O0 for waterworks improvement, $1,250,- 900 for sewer extension and $750,000 for the Spring street viaduct.
 The majority cast for the bonds is an inspiration. The vote for them was 21,710 and that opposed 513. That is the same as saying that Att lantians wish these betterments, wish them now and are willing to stand the cost for the common veal.
 What Atlanta has done other cities will do. If municipal improvements cannot be gotten at pre-war prices, they must be secured at post-bellum prices. The world does not propose to stand still because some things cost more now than they did former ly. If that were the creed of com monwealths there would be no for ward movement.
 Birmingham will benefit by the Atlanta bond issue because a great portion of the $2,850,O0O for water works improvements stands for cast iron pipe, which is manufactured here.
 Birmingham is not behind Atlanta in progressiveness. This city is build ing two high schools, has greatly im- proved her fire department and is to build an auditorium. Bonds for a city hall and library have been floated. It is to be a year of structural ac- tivity. Building operations herald the coming of better times.
 With a few more cities following in the footsteps of Atlanta and Bir- mingham an extensive structural pro- gramme will be inaugurated and men and mills will be busy again.

Problems the Same as in
 Wilson Administration

TIT seems the hand of fate that Ger U many should be occupied by al- lied troops just as the republican ad- ministration entered office. Ameri- can troops have not participated in the allied advance, but they remain in the Rhine country of occupation.
 Washington advices reporting first sessions of the Harding cabinet are to the effect that the administration lis not now considering withdrawal of the American troops of occupa- tion," and contain this paragraph:
 "Also wrapped up in the Rhine situation is the question of passing a congressional resolution to declare a state of peace with Germany, and it is believed the administration will de- termine it's attitude on such resolu- ton in the light of full information
 
 about present European conditions"
 And, while the republicans talk non- participation in the affairs of other nations, we have the Panaman- Costa Rican affair on our hands.
 Thus do the problems, which Presi-
 
 dent Wilson honestly proclaimed and boldly faced, stand out in as pro- nounced importance as even While declaring that this country must avoid entanglements with foreign na- tions, the entanglements are in escapable facts and we can no more get away from them now than we could when the sinking of the Lusi-

 Her lectures are full of interest. Instructive, too, for Miss Taylor is a real teacher, who presents her thoughts clearly, and in the attractive way that makes them stick long after one leaves the church.
