DAILY EAGLE
CELEBRATING g
ANNIVERSARY
in Wichita, Kan.
sas, Is Fifty Years Old To-
day-Makes Record.

WICHITA, Kan, April 12.-The
Wichita Daily Eagle is so years old
today. The half-centmy mark is
passed quietly by The Eagle, with
only brief editorial mention of the
significance of the date, and minia-
ture reproduction of the first page
of the paper that was printed half
a century ago.
Colonel March Murdoch unloaded
a hand press and some type from a
wagon at what is now the corner OF
Main and Second Streets, in the little
outpost called Wichita, in April, 1872.
At once he went to work with his
type, and on the morning OF the
18th he produced the first copy OF
The Eagle, which was called, out of
Difference to the future greatness OF
Wichita, The Wichita City Eagle.
The "City" was dropped when WITCH
tia actually became a town.
Victor Murdoch, afterwards con
gresham from his district and at
present member of the Federal
Trade Commission and editor-in-chief
Of The Eagle, was baby when the
first copy Of The Eagle was struck
Off, and Marcellus M. Murdoch, his
brother. the present publisher, was
not born.
The Eagle continued as a weekly
until 1884, when it appeared as a
daily. Marsh Murdoch edited the
paper until his death in 1908. During
most OF the early history of The
Eagle, Roland p. Murdoch, a brother
of Colonel Marsh, was a. partner in
the business. Upon the death OF
the elder Murdoch the paper passed
into the ownership of his widow
Victoria Murdoch, and for six years,
until her death, her name was car.
ried as publisher. The will of Mrs
Murdoch left the paper to a trust
owned by her three children, Victor
and Marcellus M. Murdoch and Mrs
Pearl Murdoch Eaton. The ownef
ship remains the same today.
The paper has had the Associated
Press service since 1895 and the AS
ISOLATED Press Leased Wire since
1901
Wichita has grown from popula
ton OF few score traders TO a popu
lation OF about 10000 and the cir
culation of the paper has more thar
kept pace.

nearly tore them apart.

Fate had seen fit to shape the life
OF young
BARRY HOUSTON into a series of
tragic molds A bitter experience

Sequeath to him timber holdings IN
Tabernacle only on condition that
a high output be maintained.
MYSTERIOUS accidents have pre-
vented this and Houston, arriving
from Boston, finds that this is due
to the treachery Of his mill superin-
tendent,
FRED THAYER. Houston is as
assisted in his work in the timber
country by
BA'TISTE RENAUD, an eccentric
French Canadian, whose life has
been saddened by the double trag-
edy of his sons death in France
and the unsolved murder of his
wife. Houston discharges Thayer
despite the remonstrances of
AGNES JIERDON, a girl who has a
mysterious hold over Houston. The
mill lis burned. Houston decides
to carry on the fight when he is
confronted with a forged lease
which turns his timber rights over
to a zneighboring lumber company.
Houston claims he doesn't remem-
Der signing such a lease. In the
presence of
MEDAINE ROBINETTE. to whom
Houston is attracted, Thayer says
Houston probably doesn't remem-

of prowling and shifting around the
old brush. pile, under which Danny
Meadow Mouse had managed to run
just in time to escape furnishing
Reddy with a dinner, and had gone
away Danny came out to look for
little Miss Nanny Meadow Mouse.
He met her hurrying up the little
path that led to the old brush pile.
and Danny felt that just to see the
look of gladness in her eyes when
she saw him was worth all he had
been through, even the skinned tail
the torn trousers, and all his smart
ing wounds.
"Oh, Danny, he didn't catch you!
I'm so glad! so glad!" cried little Miss
Nanny happily.
'Oh course he didn't. 1t will take
some one whole lot smarter than
Reddy Fox to catch me- boasted
Danny.
How brave you are! You are the
bravest Meadow Mouse in all the
Great World" said little Miss Nanny
with a happy sigh.
Pooh. That was nothing replied
Danny. trying very hard to look as if
he really thought it was nothing when
all the time he was very proud of
what he had done, as he really had
right to be.
1t was just then that little Miss
Nanny discovered for the first time
his torn trousers and skinned tail
"Oh, Danny" she cried, and her voice
was filled with pity, 'you are hurt"
It's nothing much" mumbled
Danny, trying to hide his skinned tail.
You know, that little short, stubby
tail has always been a matter of NOR
tification to Danny. All his life he
has wished for a long, handsome tail
like that of his cousin, Whitefoot the
Wood Mouse And now the little tail
he did have was a sad looking affair."

claws of Reddy Fox had torn in when
he had so nearly caught Danny. But
little Miss Nanny was all pity. She
made Danny lie down while she
washed and dressed his wounds, and
very careful and tender was little Miss
Nanny as she worked over the poor
little tail. Danny thought
that Just to have her fussing over him
was worth all that he had been
through.

STATE HIGHWAYS IN
THREE DISTRICTS

On account of the increased num-
Der Of miles of state highways which
have been constructed with federal
aid. state and county bond funds, the
supervision of the maintenance of
the roads has grown too large for
one engineer, and the work has been
divided into three districts by
Thomas Maddox, state engineer.
During the past six months, the mile
age of state highways has increased
at the rate of approximately so miles
a month.
The maintenance districts have
been designated as the northern, the
central and southern. The northern
district will be under the supervision
of Engineer Shepard Hiscox with
headquarters at Ashfork This dis
trict will include the Old Trails high
way from Topoc through Kingman,
Ashfork, Williams, Flagstaff. Win
slow Holbrook and ST. Johns to the
New Mexico line. and also the state

The central district will be in
charge of w. G. Goetz with head
quarters in Phoenix and will include

Tucson, Nogales, Benson, Tombstone,
Bisbee, Douglas and Rodeo.
At present. Mr.. Maddox said.
there are % maintenance crews
working the highways and in the
next five or six months 15 or 30
more are to be added as the mileage
increases. These crews viii keep the
highways already built, in repair.
