OLD NlPSIc IS AN IcEBox
Turned 10 Commercial Uses by
Canning Company.

ington--ConveTted int, a gil
gantic floating iceboX for salmon, the
old United States cruiser Nipsic lies
on the San Juan islands. near Belling-
ham, Wash. being now useful piece
of property of a canning. company
The interior of the old warship, which
is of wood, has been made over into
a row of great bins, into which the
salmon, brought from the fishing
ground, are dumped through a long
funnel at the bow and iced. The proc
ess will not freeze the fish, but will
keep them in cold storage until they
can be canned. Frozen fish may be
sold for table use, but are not thought
good for canning.
The Nipsic has had an interesting
history, though never in battle Built
in 1873 at Washington, she was long
attached to the Pacific fleet. She was
one Of the American warships that
were overwhelmed by the hurricane
at Samoa in 1855 with vessels of the
English and German navies- All but
the English cruiser Calliope went
ashore, but the Nipsic fortunately
went on q sandy beach. The crew of
the Nipsic performed heroic deeds in
saving seamen from other vessels
After being hauled on and repaired
the Nipsic became a receiving ship at
Bremerton, and was later turned into
a prison ship. Last spring she was
sold as no longer of any use to the
navy.

Merchant Who Disappeared From

Long Search.

Montreal--The mysterious disap-

frid F. Pope, a well known merchant
Of BromptOnville, Quebec, has been
cleared up.
The disappearance of Pope created
quite a sensation, for it was generally
supposed that he had been murdered.
Word, however, was received by Chief
McCaskill that Pope was well and re-
siding in Texas
POpe's horse was found one winter
morning two years ago, lying dead on
the snow, and, there being a long
trail Of blood, it was supposed that
Pope had met with foul play, as he
had drawn money on that day. The
detectives could find no trace OF the
mans body and the case remained a

plots were plowed in September, one
seven inches deep, another three
inches deep, and the third, which had
been double disked in July, was pIow-
ed three inches deep. After they
were plowed the three plots were
worked alike.
Of these methods of preparation,
the plot plowed deep in July produced
the largest yield, 30 bushels an acre,
and as an average of the three-year
trial was produced 434 bushels of
wheat more than any other method
employed. The land plowed three
inches deep on this date for the last
three years produced 211a bushels an
acre, or 1872 bushels less than the
seven-inch blowing.
Of the plots plowed in August the
one that was worked during the first
month after blowing produced 1924
bushels an acre, while the other,
which was not worked, produced 2834
bushels, difference of 4 bushels an
acre in favor of working the ground
the first month after blowing. This
