IS AFTER tHE RANGE Government May Purchase Fine Rifle Range at Macon Macon, Jan. 16.—Macon’s rifle range may be bought by the government for the use of tlie regular army. The rango now In tho possession of the Macon Rifle Association is prob ably the most suitable site In Georgia ranking well with the other ranges scattered throughout the United States In his report to President Roosevelt during the latter part of last year the si cretary of war remarked about the scarcity or rilie ranges in this country, especially where the new rifle o the Springfield make was in use. As the secretary recommended that congress make an appropriation lor the purchase and equipping of suitable ranges, it is thought the faciiitf.es of the Macon range will bo brought to the attention of tho proper officials. 1 hough there are many sitc-s in Geor gia which afford shooting of 500 yards and even COO that of Macon is prole ably the only one whore the Spring field rifle can be used with perfect safety. The old range of the Macon Rifle As sociation had to lie abandoned with the introduction of the Krag rifles anew sito he.ng bccured near the old waterworks. Though many improve ments will have to be made boforo it con be used, It will afford one of the hot ranges in the country when it Is I completed.
