Washington People Think
 Brady Is Alaska

A newspaper dispatch from the na- tional capital contains the following in- teresting piece Of gossip;
 Washington gossips are already fig uriug on the probable nominees for the office of delegate from Alaska. It is figured out that Gov. Brady may be the republican nominee, probably because he Is better known by name in the East than any other Alaskan.
 For the democratic nomination iorm- CT Gov. Alfred P. Swineiord is named. The latter was head of the district dur ing Cleveland's first administration IS years ago and he did much at that time to advertise the possibilities of Alaska in an agricultural way, although gold in considerable quantities was not dis covered then.

ON FIRE
S. S. Excelsior Badly Burned
 at Wrangell NarrOws

The steamer Excelsior while bound from Seattle for the Westward, was found to be on fire last Sunday night and was run immediately on the beach in order to save her passengers from being devouretby the flames.
 The ill iated steamer was just at the southern endof WrAngel narrows when the watehman reported to the captain that she was on fire. A nasty survey of the boat was made and she was then headed for the beach. The sea cocks were pulled and she rapidly filled with water, which extinguished the flames
 The passengers were taken ashore in the lie boats.
 Shortly afterthe tug Alaskan hove in sight and she rendered as much as- sistance as possible.
 The passengers were taken to Ketch- ikan on the Humboldt and from there they win take the Bertha, which was a few days behind the Excelsior, for Val dez
 When the steamer Georgia came North she was hailed from the Excel sior and two passengers who had re- mained with the ship, came north on her to Juneau.
 Wednesday the Excelsior was pump ed out and fioated at high tide. The Alaskan took her In tow for Seattle.
 The Excelsior was loaded with freight on this present voyage for Valdez and other ports to the Westward. Much of this freight was perishables, which will be a total loss. The Excelsior was owned and operated by the Pacific Packing & Navigation Co.

 In connection with the row over the appointment of L. L.

PUBLICITY THE CURE

Representative Littlefield Prepared Report to
Accompany the Antitrust Bill

Washington, Jan. ga report pre-
pared by Representative Littlefield to
accompany the antitrust bill reported
to the House by the Judiciary Com
mittee was presented to-day by Repre-
sentative Overstreet of Indiana, Mr..
Littlefield being in New England in
Vestigating the coal situation along the

question at great length. Speaking of
the bill reported. it says
''Its 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. 1t is
believed to be a decided step in ad-
vance of existing legislation. 1t in
wolves the idea of publicity and addi-
tional legislation to prevent discrimi-

1t seeks to prevent the effort to de-

lie has an abiding interest the reduc-
ton of the price to the consumer, is in
practice seldom attained. This result
is the only fact that can justify this
phase of industrial development from
the public standpoint. 1t is not be-
lieved that any Of these corporations
yet organized have ever been dominlt-
ed by, or organized for, the altruistic
purpose of reducing the price to the
consumer. The controlling purpose in
such organizations is believed to be
what it naturally would be-the profit
of the parties thereto. If the public
receives any benefit it is incidental.
Profit to the persons in control inspires
their operations as we'll as organtza-
ton.
LAS capital is entitled to a fair re-
turn, the public is vitality interested in
the amount of capital necessary to
carry on a given enterprise. Such fair
return is a proper element of the cost
of the article, and the public must pay
for it, and the other elements of cost
involved, when it buys the article.
ITO what extent we are now paying
exorbitant prices to produce abnormal
returns no one can tell, as no reports
are now made to any authority, state
or national, that give any adequate
information on that point. This is one
of the things that this bill seeks to ac-
complish.
Publicity by creating an intelligent
public sentiment, will go far toward
ameliorating oppressive conditions. If
it is a fact that competitors are ruth
lessly destroyed and prices are in
creased in order that enormous returns
may be received upon a 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 reprehen-
sible condition could long stand the
well directed public indignation that
would be thus aroused. 1t is not
claimed that publicity is cure-all. 1t
IS hoped. however, that by its appl ca
ton the operation of natural laws may
in an appreciate degree alleviate ex-
listing conditions"
