maker, difficulties have arisen in framing rules that will 
deal effectively with the conditions that exist in the trade. 
Among extremists the view is held that even guns which 
are made up from the rough tubes of foreign origin 
should be marked as not of British make. Against this 
view it is urged that for decades past Belgium has been 
the largest source of supply for barrel tubes, and that it 
would be unfair to mark weapons as of foreign origin 
which owe so small a percentage of their finished condi- 
tion to the foreigner. The extremists, in their turn, 
maintain that it would be better to stimulate the home 
production of all essentials for gun manufacture, whether 
of the best or cheaper qualities by the applying of a 
distinctive marking to everything that comes from 
abroad. Against this view it must be stated that facili- 
ties for extending the manufacture of English tubes can- 
not be created in an instant, and, although signs are not 
wanting that a great increase of barrel tube manufacture 
in this country will shortly be in evidence, it is gener- 
ally conceded that it would be a mistaken policy to 
force a climax before the arrangements for meeting it 
are complete. 
In sundry other directions the foreigner has made him- 
self very useful in the supply of rough actions for vari- 
ous kinds of shotgun and rifle. In certain countries the 
manufacture of particular components has been spe- 
cialized to an extent which makes the world at large 
dependent upon the supplies that emanate from the 
Continent. Hence those responsible for the drafting of 
the new proof rules have had a very difficult task in 
laying down the line of demarkation which must sepa- 
rate the weapons that are to be regarded as of entirely 
foreign manufacture and those whose components are 
partly made abroad, but which may be regarded as ot 
substantially British manufacture. The policy adopted 
has been to endeavor to introduce a much-needed reform 
by possessive stages, which will enable the manufacture 
of certain classes of guns or rifles bit by bit to get rid 
of his dependence on the foreigner. Necessarily the 
framing of this middle course has led to a good deal ot 
heated controversy, the regrettable effect of which is that 
the urgently needed reforms of proof procedure as a 
whole are delayed by arguments and controversies which 
at times savor more of politics than of gun proving.—

Trap at Parkersburg. 
PARKERSBURG, W. Va., March 31.—The following is a 
copy of what appeared in our local paper of this date. 
We will be pleased if you will give it space in your 
publication: 

A preliminary shoot with sportsmen from St. Marys 
and Marietta attending, was held yesterday afternoon by 
the shooters of the local gun club at their grounds on the 
Interurban. The event was quite informal, and was held 
in honor of Mr. Rolla Heikes, of Dayton, O., who is one 
of the world’s greatest crack shots. 
However, Mr. Heikes did not finish first in yesterday’s 
event, owing to his being ill. He left here on the 
morning train for his home to recruit for a few days. 
, The scores made at the preliminary shoot were as fol-
