In making up our verdict for

take into consideration a man S
fitness and capacity for the pub
lie trust and then his record to
see if he is deserving Meas

worthy of this exalted office. He
is a man Of unlimited capacity

collect statistics of incalculable
value to the people. He has rem

A special from Crystal Springs
says: Senator Noel attacked
Vardaman s record. :" And so II
goes. The attacks, the abuse
heaped upon Vardaman recall
the McLaurin senatorial race a
few years ago. The politicians
attempted his defeat but the peo-
pie repudiated the attempt and
McLaurin was elected. And SO
it will be with Vardaman. IF the
press would present the situa-
ton as it is it would be a landslide.
The result will be known, how
ever, on the 9th.

The Hazlehurst Courier, a Critz
organ, has turned its batteries
against the McLaurins, which
means that the McLaurins will
now unlimber on Critz. 1t would
not be surprising to see the Nc
Laurin influence for Vardaman
before the fight is over.

Prospecting, however, has been greatly retarded, because ,i the immpossibility to get provisions. Flour, MT. Isaacson says, is $l5 hund. red, but to get it one must purchase an entire outfit. There is plenty of the article on hand in the stores. For this reason people who would now be freight ing their supplies to their claims can. not do so; they will have to wait until navigation opens.

PUBLICITY
 THE THING To Give Trusts, a Solar y Plexus Blow AND CURE ALL EVILS By Creating an IntelIighDt Public Sentiment--LittIefieId's
 Report.
AND CURE ALL EVILS

Washington, Jan. 26.-A report pre- pared by Representative Littlefield to accompany the antitrust bill reported to the house by the judiciary committee was presented today by Representa- tive Overstreet, of Indiana, Mir. Little field being in New England investigat- ing the coal situation along the coast The report treats of the trust question at some length. Speaking of the bill reported, it says:
 "lts purpose is more effectively to regulate and control, on conservative lines, industrial and business cOmbina- tions which, in their operation, prove injurious to the public welfare. It is believed to be decided step in the ad- vance of existing legislation. It in- wolves the idea of publicity and addi- tional legislation to prevent discrimi- nations by rebate or special privileges on the part of the railroad companies. It seeks to prevent the effort to destroy competition in particular localities by discrimination in prices, prohibits rail road companies from transporting goods in violation of the law, and con- tains provisions to facilitate the en- forcement of this act as well as existing legislation on the same lines.
 "lt IS through the medium of consu- mers, the purchasers of its products, the over-capitallzed combinations find their most extensive and oppressive contact with the public. Successful over.capitalization involves the necces- sity of declaring dividend upon the over capitalization equal to dividend upon actual value, thus giving to the stock an earning capacity and creating an artificial market value"
 "To what extent we are now paying exorbitant prices to oproduce abnormal returns, no one can tell, as no reports are now made to any authority, state or national, that give any adequate in formation on that point. This is one oi the things that this bill seeks to accom- plish.
 "Publicity, by creating an intelligent public sentiment, will go far toward ameliorating oppressive conditions. Il it is a fact that competitors are ruth lessly destroyed aod prices are in creased in order that enormous returns may be received upon q relatively in significant investment, and the search light of publicity can be turned there on, it is doubtful if the persons who are responsible for such reprehensible condition could long stand the well-di rected public indignation that would be thus aroused.
 1t is not claimed that publicity is { cure-all. It is hoped, however, that b! it's application the operation of neutra laws may in an appreciable degre' alleviate existing conditions.'

ONE MILE OF PAY
Has Been Located on the Shun- nak River--DetaiIS of
 kObuk Strife.

Candle City, April 13.-No new de- vslopments on the creek. Stormy weather has prevented several of the claim owners from working. In places on the creek there is p feet of snow. On 10 above Mcdonald and Mcintosh have been handicapped all winter by the heavy fall of snow. The weal her broke yesterday and signs of spring are already here, which means consid- erahle prospecting, as number have been waiting for finer weather.
 The Blue-Nose Mining company have been busy the past ten days getting their outfit over to Minneha creek. Six men with steam Lhawer will break ground tomorrow on No. IS below dis covery where they intend croocuttlns the creek.
 MT. $. A. Pepper and Bud Whitney will commence prospecting thelr Pat terson creek claims in a few days. They have steam thawer to assist them. Messrs. Holman and Dimmock are keeping the trail hot, getting their summers fuel over from the Chicago coal mine.
 In your issue of March II an article appears re. some trouble on the Shuti- nak river between Mir. Mason and part. ners, the Van Leer brothers, and the LindblOUm party in which Mr. Mason is accused of shooting at his opponents, some of the LindbloOm party, while out hunting. In conversation with 8 man who has arrived here from the Shun- nah, since this trouble, he stated the ma ajority of men there who are ac- quainted with all of the facts (which are greatly exaggerated) support Mir. Mason and he is in possession of evi. dence to show that some one had cut the location notices off the stakes and that on certain day claims were re. corded by one of the LindblOOm party when they were at least three days travel from the place of location. Mr. Mason and partners did protect theil ground with arms when the Lindbloon party appeared, saying they were there to do assessment work; but they left without doing it and not shot vas fired or gun raised. The trouble seems tG be over bench ground adjoining Mir. Masou's that was staked m 1900. by oue of this LindblUom party who last win. ter had cut the writing off the stakes, changing the description to read so as to take in Mir. Mason's ground. These l whittlings were left on the snow and ar ( held by Mason today. Mir. Mason is ar old Black Hills miner and well knowr in Alaska and he is considered an up right, honest man whose character can not be questioned. He has been knOwr for to one man here for 25 years and 1T all that time Mason has not been knowr to molest anyone who did not deserve it.
 Mir. Woodruff arrived here lately from the Shunnak, where he says tho prospects look encouraging. Mir. Masor and Van Leer have located pay for , distance of one mile on the river.
