The William Bayliss encountered a
heavy gale on October 18, but came
through it without sustaining any se
rious damage.
THE steam whaler William Bay
liss, the last of the blubber
hunters to leave the Arctic", ar
rived yesterday after a fruitless
cruise. Fifty pounds of whale
bone, secured by trading, and two polar
bear cubs was about all of value that
the whaler brought home with her.
Many whales were sighted, but they
were very « ild and took good care to
keep beyond reach of the hunters' har
poons. The bear cubo were given to
Captain Cottle by natives. They were
white when they stepped aboard the
"William Bayliss, but having neither
snow nor icebergs on board, the fluffy
northerners have been compelled to
limit their toilet, and their coats in
color now match the decks of th«ir
floating home. They are eight months
old and very tame.

TO AKIUVE
Railroad officials say that reports of
a sink hole being found in the middle
of the lake, apparently bottomless, and
that accidents have occurred there are
grossly exaggerated. The troublesome
spot, apparently the old bed of a river,
has long since been filled In and ceased
to give trouble. The long stretch of
track across the great inland salt sea
is expected to prove one of the most
picturesque features of transcontinental
travel.
Ilovements of Steamers.
OGDEN, Utah. v, Nov. 1C— The first
train— a work train— crossed the entire
length of the treat!? work from the
cast to the west side of Great Salt
Lake over the Ogden-Lucin cut-off this
morning. The connection rails of the
two ends were laid temporarily at
about the middle of the. west arm of
the lake, biit.they will not be perma
nently laid and the last spike will not
be driven until Friday, when President
Harriman and party will visit the cut
off ar.d a member of that party will
perform the ceremony. '
SALT LAKE. Utah. Nov. 16.— The
last rail was laid Sunday on the long
cut-off of the Southern Pacific Rail
way across the northern arm of Great
Salt Lake from Ogden to Lucin,* Nev.
There ia yet a great deal of work to
be done before the cut-off can be used
for traffic, but the track will be ready
for use by next Friday, when President
Harriman and other officials of the
Harriman system will make a formal
trip of inspection of the new line. It
is expected that regular traffic will be
instituted within sixty days over the
cut-off, which is expected to save at
least two hours in running time, be
sides eliminating the heavy expense in
hauling trains up the long, steep Pro
montory hill around the northern edge
of Great Salt Lake.
Several existing ordinances were re
vised and re-enacted to conform with
the charter, imposing a license of $10
per auarter on billposters, advertising
sign painters and streetcar advertisers;
prohibiting the bribery of police offi
cers and regulating the maintenance of
railroad tracks and turntables.
The committee decided to allow Aig
eltinger's bill for hay and other de
mands for goods not purchased under
contract.
The amended ordinance fixing the
width of sidewalks on all streets and
avenues sixty-six feet or more and less
than eighty feet in width at twelve
feet and on all streets eighty feet or
more in width at fifteen feet was passed
to print by the board.
The board ordered the placing of tel
ephones In all the public schools.
The amended ordinance regulating
the plumbing and drainage of build
ings so that the Health Board shall not
determine the method of "siphonage"
was passed to print.
The ordinance regulating the main
tenance of shooting galleries so that
they may be maintained by private
shooting clubs under certain restric
tions was passed to print.
The Health Committee was requested
to take testimony regarding the sug
gestion that satisfactory metnoda of
plumbing may be used other than those
now required by ordinance.
The committee thereupon requested
the City Attorney to advise whether
the Park Commission must enter into
contracts for supplies or labor; whether
the approval of four of tne commission
ers is necessary for the enforcement
of a contract and whether the commis
sion has power to purchase supplies in
the open market without public com
petition in sums less than $500.
The committee objected to a bill of
$1585 25 in favor of E. Aigeltlnger
for hay marked "non-contract" in that
it exceeded the $500 limit. Superintend
ent McLaren explained that the hay
contract had expired two months ago
and as the market price is high it had
been deemed best for the interests of
the city to continue purchasing the hay
for the old contract price, which was
much lower than the present market
rate.
McDonald called attention to what
he termed a technical violation of the
charter by the board in exchanging
copper ingots for a "New England
Kitchen." McDonald said the money
received for the ingots, amounting to
$1000, had not been turned into the
treasury, but went for the Durchase of
the kitchen. McDonald said he had
objected to the transaction as it was
carried on with the * curator of the
museum, who Is an employe of the
board and who owned the kitchen.
Park Commissioners Sullivan. Mc-
Donald and Altman appeared before
the Supervisors' Finance Committee
yesterday to explain the reason why
the commission does not advertise for
bids for so-called non-contract goods
In amounts less than $500, but Instead
purchases them In the open market.
The committee had withheld approval
of certain demands on that account at
the last meeting:.
Sullivan Quoted the charter, which
says that "every contract exceeding
$500 in amount shall be open to public
competition, but that no contract shall
be entered into authorizing the ex
penditure of " money without the ap
proval of four of the commissioners."
Sullivan also referred to an opinion
of the City Attorney to the effect that
the Park Commission has an entirely
independent power to contract for its
own supplies and materials. Sullivan
said that heretofore contracts had been
entered into by a vote of three com
missioners.
