able fall.
"Crops in our locality have not suf-
fered to any noticeable extent" said
Mr.. Worth, although the rain will
doubtless be of great benefit. Spring
wheat is late and in some places weeds
have got the start of grain, but on
well farmed land the crops are looking
good. wheat being about IA inches
high. There is nothing in the situation
to brighten anybody. For the past 20

quarter that the crops were ruined,
but the grain is always there to be
threshed when the time comes"

Special to The Record.

Special to The Record
Washington, Jan. 9.-The Republi-
cans in the house who oppose the
proposed joint statehood bill, have
developed such strength that the
date of favorable report of the COM
mittee on Territories on the measure
is uncertain, and many of the mem
bers do not expect to have the bill
brought before the house early this
week as was originally planned The
insurgent Republicans allege that
they have seventy-five Republican
votes against the proposed rule pre-
venting the amendment of the joint
statehood measure. AS the Democrats
sill vote solidly against such a rule
it has been reported that the rules
committee will not attempt to pre-
vent the amendment of the bill. The
friends of joint statehood do not ad-
NIT that seventy-five Republicans will
join in the attempt to amend the bill
LATER Speaker Cannon's ef
forts to win the insurgents over to
the Hamilton joint statehood bill
have met with little success appar-
emily, and the joint statehood propo-
sition is still shrouded in uncertain
iy The insurgents claim that they
have So votes, which number coupled
with the solid Democratic vote will
force consideration. of the amend
ments to the Hamilton bill. Two or
three Republicans are reported to
have been won over to the admins
tration measure through Speaker
Cannon, but the weakening of the
Opposition is so slight that until fur
ther changes are brought about the
Hamilton bill will not be taken be-
fore the house. All sorts of compro-
mises have been suggested, but have
met with no favor at the hands of
the supporters ~of joint statehood.
The last compromise offered by the
insurgents was the insertion of the
single word leach" where it would
provide that the people of New Mexi-
co and Arizona should decide by pop
nlar vote whether they should accept
Joint statehood.
