Chief Cook Says Two New Sta
tions Are Needed, Requiring
Additional Patrolmen
City Departments Give Super
visors Estimates for An-
nual Expenses

Two million dollars for the police
department during the next fiscal year
was the sum named to the super
visors yesterday by Chief Cook in his
estimate of the amount necessary in
the annual budget. Cook said that the
permanent population of the city now
was fully 500, 900; that great and popu-
lous districts without adequate pro-
lection had grown up in the Mission
and in Richmond since the fire, and
that two new stations should be built
in these sections
The addition of 200 patrolmen with
the necessary officers and equipment
would be necessitated by this, costing
$330,360 for salaries. For new sta
tion in Richmond, for one near Twenty
ninth and Nilsson streets and for the
rehousing of the southern station, now
In school lot, he estimated $150,0O0
necessary.
Cook called attention to the unsat-
is1actory results of paying rentals for
insanitary quarters for the north end,
Golden Gate park, Ocean View, Po-
trero and Bay View stations. and to
the rundown condition of the patrol
wagons, harness and general equip
ment of the department. untouched

 LONG JOURNEY
NOME HAN TRAVELS 10000 MILES IN FOUR MONTHS TRYING TO REACH
 SEATTLE

Terminating with the arrival of the Japanese steamship Iyo Maru at se- attle yesterday, a journey that involy. ed covering nearly 10000 miles and subjection to almost unbelievable hardships, William Hall, an Alaska mining man, has had a series of the worst experiences of the year in waters. Starting from Nome September 1, for Anadir bay, Siberia, on a trip that was expected would cover no more than two weeks, and which would permit his return ing to Seattle with the last Nome steamer, Mir. Hall was caught in the ice off Kamchatka peninsula, and compelled to make his way out by a long and perilous journey through Siberia and along the dangerous win ter coast to Japan, taking passage for Puget sound at Yokohama.
 To make the journey it was re- quired that no less than seven boats be used. In addition to this difficult transportation the trip involved travel by reindeer team, dog outfits, pack train and on foot nearly 2,OOO miles through Siberian winter. Business re- Quiring his presence in America as we'll as inability to live during the long winter on blubber and similar native foods, proved incentive for keeping him in motion in the face of conditions that seemed unsurmounta- ble.
