The Star chamber was a tribunal in
England consisting Of n committee Of
the kings privy council, instituted or
revived by Henry VII in 1856. II had
extensive powers and held itself I'M

civil and criminal cases without the
intervention Of jury. and could inflict
any form of punishment short of
death. 1t was abolished by parliament
in 1641. during the reign of Charles l.

its name either from the gilt stars

Rex Beach, In speaking OF his Film
Play. Iron Trail. calls attention 10
this being the first movie play laid in
Alaska that did not show barn houses,
gilded saloons. lewd women and gamb-
lers. He says pictures showing that
kind OF life was untrue and that they
hurt Alaska more than could be meas
ured In dollars and cents. There is
facination about frontier life that
appeals to the public in play but in
real life no one wants to take his wife
into frontier community nor rear a
family In such surroundings.
The Upper Peninsula to all for the
Middle West states bears the stigma
OF having frontier life. All the ad-
vertising particularly pictures-lays
stress on the condition that appeals TO
the spirit OF adventure. All our pub
licity is too much OF the rough and
ready sort. We do this too often In
a sort OF braggadocio spirit, to show
what hardy characters we are; TO
show the vast opportunity for great
wealth. But this costs US money and
that In great big chunks. In the last
ten years the Upper Peninsula has in
creased In population less than 5000
This too after all the advertising done
by the Upper Peninsula Development
Bureau.
You can spend ever such vast a.
mounts in publicity and all of 1t can
be brought to naught in night by the
bad effects OF one ''Rumbelllon"
Thrifty and industrious men do not
want 10 go where there is even sus-
picion OF iawlessness. No one any
longer wants TO feel that he must fight
to maintain his rights when there are
such vast opportunities where law and
order In every particular maintains,
They will not take their wives and
children and above all else they will
not take their money to such com
mnnity. You will never get capital
in Iron county; you will never have
factories or other industries until you
are above the suspicion OF lawlessness.
Every jury that is carried away by
the petifoggery of the attorney for the
defense rather than believe the sworn
officers OF the law is taking dollars

Rep. p. O'Brien OF Iron River an
nounces that he will attempt to remove
the barrier that has prevented the ex-
tension OF exploration for iron ore In
this upper country. He will intro
duce bill at the proposed special ses-
sion OF the legislature.
This Is a matter that has been en-
gaging Mr.. O'Brien's attention for sew
eral years and everyone In Iron county
hopes that he may be successful in ac-
complishing something towards a re-
! lief that is sorely needed.
In connection with this proposed
measure Mr. o'Brien says:
when l make this proposal ! take
into consideration the industrial sit
uation prevailing In the iron ore re-
gious for several years. There was
time In my own district when six
or seven diamond drill corporations
were exploring for iron ore. Now
there are none. because as soon as the
drill records deposit of ore, the
property is placed upon the assess
ment roll. Such a record proves
nothing OF the nature of the iron de-
posit; nothing more than seam or
ore may have been happened upon.
yet the Sherwood property In this dis
trict is assessed at $4,000 with moth
ing IN It but diamond drill holes.
"The result has been that mining
companies have discontinued dia-
mond drill exploring and the country
has remained undeveloped. My sug-
gestion would be to exempt all dia-
mond drill explorations for period

The Diamond Drill
Gentlemen
There has been complaint in the
Diamond Drill as to who is 10 blame
for not putting up snow fences In
the Alpha-Crystal Falls road. Who
is to blame? The snow fences that
were there last winter were taken
down and piled up there early in
the spring by some OF the county
men, so / left them there, thinking
the county manager would put them
up again in the fall. paid no more
attention to them this fall, whether
they were there or not. What few we
had left was put up in the same place
as last year. Neither the township
nor the county has fences enough to
protect all the bad places on their
roads, so think we will have to
stand for the kicking this winter and
then see that both parties, the
township and county, viii have more
fences made for next winter and have
them put up in the right places.
