Still Hope to Save U.. S.
Cruiser Milwaukee; On
Sands Off Pacific Coast
(AhkUM Ptmi. )
EUnEKA, CAL.. Feb. 12.—The Navy
Department has not given up hope ol
saving th* stranded cruiser Milwau
kee and Is willing. It was stated here
today, unofficially, to spend $750,000
If at that cost the vessel can ba made
available for service within six months
None of the bids either tor removal
of the contents of the derelict or for
building a trestle through the surf to
the wreck, will be awarded, It was said,
prior to the subpilsklon next Thursday
of recommendations by naval construc
tor D. C. Nutting. Jr., who has made
a complete survey of the cruiser. On
Thursday also bids will be opened for
salvaging the hull.
Some of the contractors are figuring
on salvaging th$ Milwaukee by dredg
ing a canal from where she lies In the
breakers through the sands of the Sa
moa peninsula to Humboldt Bay, a
distance of 4.000 feet.
The recent heavy surf smashed a por
tion of the bulkhead built about the
'stranded submarine H-S, which local
contractors are endeavoring to hoist
on a cradle preparatory to towing the
diver across the peninsula to the bay.

WADE'S WEEKLY
LETTER
- _
The middle of February la the usual time
for planting1 early vegetables. The neces
sity for a good early garden has never
been so important as now. It is the quick
est and best crop that can bo grown, and
the only dependable thing that will reduce
the cost of living In the near future. A
good garden will supply 40 per cent of liv
ing expenses and can be increased to 60
per cent by adding a 'good milk cow and
forty or fifty hens. In fact such a com
bination provides for everything actually
necessary for the living except bread, meat
and clothing. Do not neglect to start
early, prepare well and plant plenty of such
vegetables as will survive spring weather.
Make Garden Long.
The garden pldt should be twice as long
as it is wide, so a? to permit the horse
and plow. This will facilitate cultivation
and reduce the damage from turning by
50 per cent. The soli should be deep loam
full of humus and well drained. Stable
manure is the best garden fertilizer be
cause it supplies humus and opens soil,
causing It to absorb heat and moisture,
in addition to the fertilizer value. Garden
soil should be prepared very deeply and
well pulverized. Plant early vegetables on
beds or small ridges, because the elevation
supplies drainage and better temperature
than planting level. Make the beds or rows
long and equal distance apart so as to
systematize cultivation.
What To Plant.
Irish potatoes, onions, ' mustard, lettuce,
beets, English peas, radishes, spring turnips,
early corn should be planted and cabbage
set. Plant a few early bunch beans and
cover them on cold nights. They might get
killed, but. If they do, what Is the loss of
a few bean seed compared with.the early
beans. If they succeed.
Prepare Hot Beds.
Prepare hot beds for sweet potatoes,
tomatoes, etc. Tomato plants can be grown
in green houses, plate glass windows of In
boxes kept In the sunshine during the day
and moved into the house at night. Be
sure to grow plenty of all vegetables. Be
gin early and keep It up until late. As one
crop Is exhausted, plant another on the
same land. Vegetables are healthful. In
vigorating, relishable and reduce the cost
of living. Now that the coldest weather Is
probably past, show your thrift by the
garden you will produce.
