HAMILTON EXPECTS
EARLY STATEHOOD
THE CONGRESSMAN FROM MICH-
IGAN WILL AGAIN INTRO-
DUCE OMNIBUS BILL.
He Will Attempt to Have Oklahoma
as the New State of Okla-
homa.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 4.—Con!-
gressman Hamilton, of Niles. Mich.,
Is an out and out pronounced advocate
of joint statehood for Oklahoma and
Indian Territory as one state, to be
known as the state of Oklahoma; «and
the admission of Arizona and New
Mexico as one state, to be known as
this same bill passed the house of rep-
resentatives in the last congress; but
it was subjected to some amendments '
in the senate, on which conferences
on the part of the senate and the
house were not able to agree, and so
the bill died in conference. I feel
confident, however, that this bill will
become a law during this session. |
"This is. while I have no authority
to speak for the membership of the
committee on territories for the com-
ing session, I feel confident that this
bill will commend itself to the judg-
ment of a majority of the Fifty-ninth
coagreas. Omnibus bills rarely pan
out successfully, and in view of that
Important fact it would be advisable
for the friends and proponents of the
statehood of Oklahoma to use all the
tact and influence at their command
so as to influence a division of his bill
Arizona and New Mexico should, as a
matter of justice and propriety, stand
or fall on their own merits. The time
for hustling has arrived, and the dele-
gates who come here intending to bat-
tle for statehood, single or joint,
shouldn't come today and flit away to-
morrow. Let them camp out here all
winter. If necessary, on the trial of
both the senate and house, and re
main until the desired consummation
has been reached."
"I was much afflicted with sciatica,"
writes Ed C. Nud, Iowaville, Sedgwick
Co., Kas., "going about, on crutches
ahd suffering a deal of pain. I was
induced to try Ballard's Snow Lini-
ment, which relieved me. I used
three 50c bottles. It Is the greatest
liniment I ever used; have recommend-
ed it to a number of persons; all ex-
press themselves as being benefited
by it. I now walk without crutches,
able to perform a great deal of light
labor on the farm." 25c, 50c and $1.

Cotton will soar, so say many of the
buyers, to the 20 cent mark withtn a
few days. The National Ginners' as-
sociation report puts the entire crop
at 9,(123,000 bales, while the govern-
ment bureau's report, which came In
at 1 p. m.. two hours after the ginners
report, puts thfe entire crop at 1,167,-
818 bales. The two reports differ
about 444,000 bales- The reports are
gained from men who are in the cot-
ton business, including farmers and
ginners, and are regarded as absolute-
ly correct. The discrepancy between
the reports is regarded as nothing, as
It shows that the crop will be at least
3,500,000 bales short of last year's crop.
The receipt of the reports in the big
mow, the price gaining 100 points
within a few minutes, and in the local
market, between 12; 30 and 1:30 this
afternoon, the price raised 50 to 75
points. '
I The price quoted here today Is $11
to $11.15, and there is a general belief
among the buyers that the price will
' go to 15 and even 20 cents before the
season closes.
I J. S. Mclntyre, one of the leading
buyers here, stated today that many of
the buyers here had been holding the
cotton they had bought and would reap
a fancy figure on acount of the raise.
He placed the high mark at 12 1-2
cents.
