After lifes fitful fever death has claimed
Alexander Miles, who has been more or less
indisposed for some months, and his remains
were incinerated last Thursday He was in
his eighties at the time Of his death and he
leaves a daughter to mourn his loss. AS said
in our last issue he was one of the unique
characters that came to the Northwest, and
he never quite adjusted himself to his adopted
surroundings. In his youth he started out as
barber in Duluth, Minnesota Though dark
in complexion he married white woman who
a prosperous dressmaker of that city,
from which union one child was born Duluth
took great building boom about that time
and he and his wife, both being prosperous
in their business almost had money to burn.
They invested heavily in speculative real
estate and on the whole their investments
gave good accounts Of themselves and ere
many moons A. Miles was one of the big
money guns of that city. He hob nobbed
with James J. Hill and men of his financial
calibre and enjoyed their association as we'll
as friendship. 1t is safe to say that at one
time he could have cashed in for $780, 900 and
still had a scrap or so left, but like many
spectators he wanted more and continued
to plunge and instead Of getting more he got
nothing and woke up to but realize all was
lost TO occupy exalted financial pedes-
tai and then fall flat is terrific blow to
anyone and many is the man that has taken
his own life rather than face such changed
conditions, but he just pulled up and came
West and silently went back to his trade as
a journeyman. Whatever may have been his
feelings he kept them to himself. Evidently
he hoped to regain at least some of his lost
ground, but the tide was against him, and his
was = constant battle for bread Sickness
overlook him and the end seemed to be in
sight, but his old time ambition was still alive
and he refused to bow to the inevitable. Be-
ing without sufficient funds to be cared for at
a private sanitarium the county hospital was
suggested, at which his whole soul rebelled,
but friends found it necessary to take him
there He died the next day and, it is sus-
pected, of broken heart Such are the fates
of fortunes. May his soul rest in peace and
find that comfort in death it failed to find in
life

 This is the third cotton bloom sent in to the Independent office this sea- son. To Lester Farmer, a ten year. old boz living north of town, belongs the honor of sending in the first bloom of the season, Saturday morn ing the 18th of June. Lester has about three acres of this early cotton.

 The prospect for cotton is above the average in this county. Most crops are in good condition, farmers having taken advantage of the favor able weather for cotton chopping and cultivating.

NEWPORT'S OPPORTUNITY.

s.s Newport is now confronted by the 2 greatest opportunity in it's history. After varied experiences in years past with commercial organizations, none of which was of lasting nature, the people of the city have united in the formation of sound and solidly sl 1mber of Commerce. The time now is at hand when the work ings of this organization will begin D show results.
 The value to Newport of the Cham ber of Commerce cannot be overesti- mated unless the citizens behind the organization fail to take it seriously. The Chamber of Commerce is the most serious institution in Jackson county right now, and it deserves to be treated as such.
 Tho Chamber of Commerce, with thu competent men directing it's bus iraess affairs, is business institu- tion that will make good. It will De { run on basis of sound business. It VIII reach out and endeavor to cause the development to the utmost of ev- 
 ery available resource in Jackson county. No opportunity will be over looked:
 Every citizen of Newport should realize this and enroll himself as an Individual booster, and be party to the work of bringing to Newport and Jackson county the great number of t0lpful features that opportunity
 w offers.
