J. S. Selinger of Company E showed the regiment's riflemen at target practice in Los Angeles on Friday and Saturday what rapid firing looked like, when he led the bunch with the high score of 96 out of a possible 100. In the skirmish run he tied for first place, scoring 113 out of a possible 200. Singularly enough, in the first day's firing at 200 yards, Selinger fell to thirteenth man while Sergt. Spielman of Company E showed up well in sixth place. At rapid fire and in skirmish firing Selinger regained lost ground and held fifth place at conclusion of the two days' scoring, being one of the six of the 44 riflemen contesting to make the state team. Those six men go north next month to compete for a place upon the state team to attend the national shoot at Camp Perry in the fall.

In the skirmish run an attempt is made to have the conditions approximate the conditions of actual fighting. The target consists of the figure of a lying man, cut out of black paper and the figure of one kneeling both of them pasted on a white background. At six hundred yards, two shots are to be fired at the figures in a time limit of thirty seconds. The men are then advanced to 500 yards where the program is repeated as to the number of shots and time of fire. At 400 yards three shots are fired in the thirty second limit and the rifle must be reloaded with a fresh clip of cartridges in this time. At 350 yards three more shots are fired in the time allowed. At 300 yards, five shots are fired in the thirty seconds limit and at the 200-yard stage—where in actual battle the "shock attack" would commence, five shots are fired in twenty seconds time, requiring great speed in manipulating the rifle if the firing is in the prone position. Between the different ranges, the men advance half way at a fast walk and the remainder of the space at a run. No shots are marked on the figures and the contestant in ignorance as to whether they hitting the targets or winding or some increase in their shots are all missing theirs. It is the custom to fire at 600 and 500 yards at the shooting figure, counting four, and the remainder at the lying target. The range had been fitted up three targets at 200 yards and targets at 500 yards and went forward without a hitch test, an unusual thing with so many chances' delay during the shoot. At the 200 rapid fire—the conceived for four strings of five each, each string to be fired at time limit of twenty seconds, rapid-fire stage was the most resting stage of the shoot. A would take its stand. rifles a "ready" and facing the 200-yard get butts. Suddenly a row of figures, of the size of a man would leap apparently out solid ground 200 yards away and fire would commence. DEATH OF FORMER RESIDENT Mrs. Anna Eliza Winney Passes Away at Wisconsin Home New was received this week of the death, at her home in Bloomington, Wis., of Mrs. Anna Eliza Winney, mother of L. J.

The Bloomington Record of May 13th contains the following biographical sketch of deceased: The death of Mrs. Winney came as surprise to many, as the general conditions of her health gave no warning of the near approach of the end. She died of heart failure on the evening of April 30, 1909. Anna Eliza Blessing was born in Virginia, August 25, 1826. On October 25, 1842, she was married to William Winney, and in the early days they settled on Blake's Prairie. To the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Winney, fourteen children were born, of whom all but three are living. Mr. Winney died a number of years ago, leaving the widow to struggle alone with her children, but she struggled courageously, seeking help of Him who is the God of the widow and the fatherless. The funeral services, conducted by Rev. A. T. Lacey, were held at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Marshall Scott, of Blake's Prairie, Wednesday, May 5, 1909, and were well attended. Interment was made at the Scott cemetery. The names and state of residence of the children who are living are as follows: Mrs. Annie E.

ANNUAL CONVENTION An Important Meeting Which Every Grape Grower Should Attend On Friday afternoon, June 18th, at 2 o'clock, the first annual meeting of the Grape Growers of California will be held in San Francisco, in the Assembly Hall of the Merchants Exchange building. Delegates will come from every section of the State, and the meeting promises to be a very important one to the viticultural industry of California. This association has done admirable work during the past few years and has outlined a plan of activities for the future, which, if carried into effect, cannot fail to contribute materially to the prosperity of the great viticultural industry of this State. They played a prominent part in securing the indefinite suspension of the Internal Revenue Commissioner's ruling prohibiting the use of native sweet wines in the manufacture of and the contestants are as to whether they are targets or whether the error in judging the increase in the wind, are all missing the figure custom to fire shots 500 yards at the kneel-counting four, and to fire at the lying target. It had been fitted up with guns at 200 yards and four 100 yards and the firing without a hitch or proximal thing with so many and so many chances for day during the entire rapid fire—the conditions our strings of five shots string to be fired in the half twenty seconds. The age was the most interruption of the shoot.

They played a prominent part in securing the indefinite suspension of the Internal Revenue Commissioner's ruling prohibiting the use of native sweet wines in the manufacture of patent medicines. They induced the recent Legislature to pass a resolution encouraging the viticultural industry in this State, and calling upon our National Government, State Legislature, and every county, city and town, to pass only such laws, regulations and ordinances as would foster this important industry. They obtained a permanent biennial appropriation of $15,000 for experimental and research work by the Department of Viticulture of the University of California. They have collected authoritative testimonials from the principal Ambassadors, Consuls and Chambers of Commerce of the great grape-growing and wine-drinking countries of Europe, proving that where wine is universally consumed drunkenness is almost unknown. They have worked hard and succeeded not only in preventing a reduction of the tariff on foreign wine, which would handicap the sale of our native product, but in increasing it. They have also opposed a reduction of the duty on foreign cream of tartar, tartaric acid and Rochelle salt, could cripple the infant inof the by-products of the of California. have secured the unanimous of a resolution by the Counmittee of the California ProCommittee, heartily approvtitude of Congress and our agistature in their efforts to conserve and foster the vitindustry. It is only when they have said "Goodby" that people really come together. Just as the virtue of wealth will bring out the evil of avarice, so will the evil of poverty bring out the virtue of self-respect. Time and tide—they won't wait, you know—they're just like a pair of children going to a circus. They don't want to miss nothin'.
