Cannon Fire, Old Glory at Fort Hays HAYS "On July 3, a 12- pound pack howitzer will boom at bid Fort Hays and the same flag which was lowered in 1889 will be raised over historic Stanley D. Sohl, director at museums of the Kansas Historical society at Topeka, said Monday. The cannon is to the type used at the original fort and will be brought from the society museum at Topeka for the occasion. The event will coincide with. the Hays centennial, but just as important, it will signal the completion of the first stage of the restoration of Ft.

Hays. The historical society has earmarked $128,000 for the job. The first phase will bi. elude the guardhouse, which will be converted into a 30 display case museum. Also included in plans is the reconstruction of the "bull or prisoner quarters.

"We have several written descriptions of the old room but no photographs," Sohl said. "Mcst of these are diary excerpts written by soldiers or prisoners. "We are asking anyone who has first rate knowledge of life at' the post to contact us so we may recreate accurately as many details as possible," he said. "We are also trying to locate as many original items as possible to furnish the fort." Work on the guardhouse is now underway. Future plans include complete restoration of the old blockhouse and one of the officer's cottages.

''We don't have as many problems with these restorations," Sohl commented. "There are adjutant general reports on the construction, furnishings and fortifications of the guardhouse and furnishings of the cottage, even to the color of the paint." A visitors' center will be constructed before the end of the Summer. This will be a new building designed to provide tourist comforts and will contain caretaker quarters. "The fort was an important military installation on the high plains from 1867 until 1889," Sohl said. It was constructed and manned by the Army to protect settlers, and the builders of the Kansas Pacific railroad- later the Union Pacific.

Several famous officers were stationed at the fort, including Generals Custer and Sherman. The blockhouse was originally constructed to be a fortification and has gun slits, but after it was built it was evident to the command there was no danger of an Indian attack. It became the fort's headquarters and also contained the adjutant's quarters.

Daniels, Cimarron, president of the Kansas Farm- srs union. Daniels, addressing an area Farmers Union meeting at the Concordia armory, said he was incouraged by the "understanding among today's farmers and their friends in towns and cities.

''There is a raw realization that our problems can be solved by working together. "American farmers must demand an end to the Administration's 'pennypinching' regard to income and parity," Daniels declared. "It is obvious that prosperity in the country means prosperity in the towns and cities. "There is no excuse for farm income to be 23 percent shy of parity when the world is on the verge of a hunger crisis." Daniels said (he government should encourage agriculture to develop and stay prepared for any emergency that might arise in this unsettled world. "What is conspicuously missing" he said, "is an increase in the support price or any assurance that the market will not collapse if the farmers do too gcod a job of production."
