Mrs. w. A. Baker, son Robert, and
daughter Luella left Sunday for Fort
Worth. They will go from that point
to Corpus Christi, Texas where they
will locate permanently. They were
compelled to leave here on account of
the altitude as it affected Mr.. Baker
to such an extent that physicians ad-
vised him his life was in danger. He
left here several days ago and his
family will join him at Fort Worth.
He lived here for two years and was
member of the furniture and second
hand firm of Baker & Morgan. Finan
cially he made success in Roswell
and he regretted very much to leave
here.

Treasurer Smith Lea, who was in the
early days a deputy sheriff under Cap

partner. Last summer when the Rec

this paper, but it so happened that
On the very day he intended to turn
it over to us for publication the Rec

Lea never mentioned what he had
written, and later sent the article to
the New Mexican upon the request
of Editor Max Frost for a sketch.
Captain Poe is president of the Old

vor of joint statehood for Oklahoma
and Indian Territory, the report says
there is no more reason for joining
New Mexico and Arizona than there
would be in joining Alaska and Por-
to Rico, and that ''the manifest pur-
pose of the majority is unjustly to
keep Oklahoma out of the Union un-
less they can with greater injustice
force Arizona in"
The minority report continues:
1--WE regret the Presidents action in
recommending without any reason
joint statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico, and thus ignoring the last
expression of the Republican national
platform ON the question of statehood
for the remaining territories"
1t concludes: "Should the Republi-
can party pass this bill, wicked as
it is, in the denial of equal rights in
representation, and partisan in all
it's material details, it will afford an
other indecent example of individual,
Territorial and National rights to
suDserve party ends.'
