Through tho efforts ot the company with the assistance of the chamber of commerce of Jacksonville the range was procured, - and the chamber of commerce of that city are taking immediate steps to have city water piped to the rifle range Just outside of town. The range will bo used not only for the company, but it is expected that the National Riflo association will also have the use of It.
