THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1895. 5 THE SAN FRANCISCO “CALL’S” ENTERPRISE COMMENDED BY THE PRESS. HE man is known by his acts and by what people say of him. So with the newspaper; it is known by its policy and by what the peo- people and what its immediate and distant contemporaries say about it. The following extracts from the edito- rial columns of other journals, far and near, show the high esteem in which the San Francisco CaLvL is held and how its enter- prise is appreciated. There are presented with this matter por- traits of ome of the well-known journal- ists of this Coast and reduced fac-similes of headings of several of the newspapers that A Newspaper Palace. The San Franeisco CaLL is to have the finest building ever erected for a mews- paper office. It is to be built on the corner of Market and Third streets, of granite and white marble, and will be fifteen stories— 310 feet high, the highest building this side of Chicago. Unlike the Cl le building it will be a beautiful bui to its owner, Claus Spr of the great paper to be walls.

Mr. Shortridge should see that our Bridg{‘}\(\r[ ertine is used for the rotunda and for other ornamental pur- poses in this magnificent building.

THE CaALL will soon have a 15-story home, the tallest building in California. It is fitting that such a journal should have a corresponding residence and we hope its spirit will ever be as lofty as the edifice it will occupy.— Anderson News. An Architectural Harmony. Herewith we present a sketch of the magnificeut new marble palace, fifteen stories in height, for TrE CALL, to be erected by Claus Spreckels, on the corner of Market and Third streets in this City. Messrs. Reid Bros., the architects, are to be congratulated for the originality of the design, correct principles of constructive lines and the harmonious composition of one of the most difficult problems the mod- ern architect is called upon to solve. The tower-like appearance will at once attract attention. The size of the building on the ground floor will be 71 by 75 feet, and the height 310 feet to the top of the belvedere. It is thusseen that the build- ing will be so nearly square that it may be taken as a square of seventy-one feet, its full height then being a little less than four and a half diameters, or a trifle over three diameters to the top of the square portion where the circular drum of the dome begins. As said before, its general appearance is that of an immense tower, but the architect has ingeniously contrived and so arranged the openings and details as to add symmetry and beauty to the otherwise uncouth block. The first three stories will be of granite and the remaining upper portion of white marble. The two lower stories form a pedestal and the third a base for the shaft, the next seven stories form the shaft proper, which is nearly obe and a half diameters in height, and an appearance of CAL., TUESDAY EVEN, AUGUST 27,1895.

Claus Spreckels is one of the most enter- prising and public-spirited men on the coast. He was the principal leader in in- ting the San Joaquin Valley Rail- | ,and he is about to supplement bis} efforts in building a splendid struc- | ture at the southwest corner of Market | i Third streets, San Francisco. Such example should serve as an impetus to other wealthy citizens in making neces- | sary 1mprovements. Last Saturday’s edition of THE CALL contained a full de- scription of the gigantic and ornamental building which Mr. Spreckels will erect for that popular newspaper. The struc- ture will, unquestionably, eclipse that of other newspaper quarters of the world. We extend our congratulations to Tae CALL on the prospects it has in se- cuning a conspicuous building, and hope its sphere of usefulness will continue to in- crease.—Solano Republican. The Call Will Be at Home. Saturday’s issue of the San Francisco CarL contained a picture of the building | Claus Spreckels intends to build on the | corner of Market and Third streets. | The building will have a frontage of seventy-five feet on Market street and sev- enty on Third.

A _fifteen-story building 300 feet high, costing, with the land, near a million of money, will enable Mr. Shortridge to ascend to the heights of journalism and look down upon his pigmy competitors.—Gilroy Gazette. Entitled to an Attractive Home. Claus Spreckels bas contracted for a | magnificent new building for the San Fran- | cisco CALL, to be erected on the corner of Third and Market streets. The building | will be of granite and white marble, re- markably attractive and overtopping "the other high buildings of the City 100 feet. | The merits of the new CALL entitle it to the prospective home.—Modesto Herald. To Cost a Round Million. | The San Francisco CaLv will in a few months have the greatest and handsomest newspaper building iu the world. Claus Bpreckels is going to erect a magnificent fifteen-story building on tne corner of Third and Market streets, to be occupied by Tue CaLr when completed. It will be the high- est building west of Chicago and will cost 2 round million.—Escondido Times. Comes to the Front. And now the San Francisco CALL comes to the front with an illustration of a fifteen- story marble-front building which the [3) rg'ckelses propose erecting at Third and Market streets. We are patiently waiting for the San Francisco papers to exhaust their ingenuity and coin in erecting sky- scraping buildings—then we will begin.— Hollister Free Lance. Must Continue to Rise.

The style is worked severe enough to give the requisite appearance of strength and stability, yet sufficiently ornate to have a beautiful architectural effect.

During our travels East some two years foremost journal on the coast should oc- cupy the largest and handsomest news- paper building in the State, if not in the world.—Fallbrook Observer. An Era in Journalistic History. The editorial enterprise of THE CALL marked an era in our journalistic history. A few short months have transformed it from the slow-goinz methods of its found- ers into a fresh, brisk, lively metropolitan journal, which aims at excellence in all its details. The new Spreckels building, cor- ner of Market and Third streets, will be a fitting receptacle for the brains, enterprise and energy which have made THE CALL what it now is.—Silver Advocate. Monument to a Gallant Career. Saturday the San Francisco MorNING CArLL told its own story of fame—a fifteen- story monument to its -gallant career, which towers 100 feet above all others in that City. It will be one of the handsom- :_st structures we know of.—Burbank News. Work for Many Men. The 8an Francisco CALL is to have a fif- teen-siory marble paiace.

Claus Sprackels will soon begin the erec- tion of a mammoth building in San Fran- cisco. The building, or palace, will be 310 feet in height; will be built of steel, mar- ble and_bronze, and be one of the hand- somest buildings in the wor'd. It will be occu&)ied by THE CALL, a newspaper which has demonstrated that it is in every way worthy of having such a home.—Marys- ville (Wash.) Globe. Has Leaped Forward Wonderfully. If push, energy and enterprise can ac- complish anything, then the San Francisco Caun is bound to accom- plish its aim —to become the lead- ing paper _ west of the Rocky Mountains. Ever since Charles M. Short- ridge assumed control of Tue CALL tnat paper has leaped forward wonderfully in the estimation of the reading public until to-day it is pronounced by thousands to be the leader. And now another great stride forward is to be made. A handsome marble palace, to eclipse anything in the building art on the Pacific Coast, will shortly be built on the cornerof Third and Market streets, as the future home for THE CarL. Surely such enterprise is to be com- mended, and THe CALL has our very best wishes for a successful future. All hail to THE CaLL!—Tres Pinos Tribune. A Magnificent Bullding. The San Francisco CALL is to be housed | in a beautiful building fifteen stories high | as soon as workers in iron, glass and wood | can construct it. Claus Spreckels fur- | nishes the money and the architects do the rest. A picture of the proposed structure represents a magnificent pile whose top- most point is 310 feet skyward from the earth. It will be the tallest building in San Francisco and will take the place of the old Johnson House corner on Market and Third streets,—Napa Daily Register. The Grandest and Handsomest. In the course of several months the San Francisco CALL will have the grandest and handsomest newspaper home in the world. The building will be located on the corner of Market and Third streets, occupying a space of 73 by 75 feet, and will be fifteen stories high—a genuine sky scraper. It will cost nearly a million dollars, and will be erected by Claus Spreckels. THE CaLL is now the best daily paper on the coast.— Pioche (Nev.) Record. Full Worthy of It.

The San Francisco CaLL will soon be at home in a 15-story marble building, whicb it claims will be the finest newspaper of- | fice on earth. THE CaLL, under its new management, is not only in the front rank | in San Francisco, but is one of the best | papers in this country, and its new home will be none too good for it.—Ellensburg | (Wash.)

Taking a Leading Position. The San Francisco CALL is fast taking a leading position among the dailies of the Golden Gate City and the whole Pacific Coast under the efficient management of Charles M. Shortridge. The high moral tone and independent air of self-respect in the paper as now published is a refreshing jour- nansticincursion. ‘The most noticeable re- sult is the reliability and non-sensational character of its news colums. The success of Editor Shortridge has led Claus Spreckels to undertake the enterprise of | providing the paper a new and substantial home. TuE CALL building as planned ex- hausted the skill of the leading architects of the West, and when completed will be a marble palace several stories higher than any other building this side of Chicago.— Medford (Or.)

It will be built on the corner of Market and Third streets, in San Francisco, and will contain fifteen stories, capped by a mam- moth dome, and be 310 feet high. This grand structure is to be THE CALL'S new home, and that enterprising daily, ever watchful of the interests of the;eopla of the interior, is to be congratulated upon its future ontlook. It is planning to live in an elevated plane, and may its useful- ness increase in a proportionate manner.— Chico Daily Enterprise. Clean, Bright and Brainy. The San Francisco CALL under its new management is forging ahead at rapid strides. It apparently has the best inter- ests of the whole coast at heart, as well as of San Francisco, and has the brains be- hind it fo make its work felt all along the line. The Gazette predicts that the new and vigorous blood that was injected into its sluggish veins will improve the moral standing of every paper published in Cali- fornia’s metropolis. Tug CALL is clean, bright and brainy, and as a newspaper outranks all other papers on the coast.— Reno Evening Gazette. For the Foremost Journal. Claus Spreckels will erect on Market street, San Francisco, a fifteen-story office building of Galifornia white marble. Nearly all the material used in the buila- ing in fact will be of California production. Two upper stories will be occupied by the Memory recalls a time when earthquake fear precluded the erection of tall buildings editorial and mechanical rooms of TuE Dawwy Canr. It isindeed fitting that the | new management, deserves the patronage and support of all the farmers of the State, as the first of the metropolitan papers to consider their needs.—Palermo Pendulum. They All Had the Picture. All the “‘great dailies” of San Francisco on Saturday contained pictures of the new building that Claus Spreckels isabout to put up for Tur Carr. It is to be the hand- somest building on the coast, fifteen stories high and surmounted by a high dome, and to be of marble, granite, steel, bronze and terra cotta. But it seems as though the architect in drawing this picture had made the other buildings in that vicinity look unnecessarily and untruly mean so as to secure a contrast.—Fresno Expositor. Fifteen Stories High. The San Francisco CALL is to have the tallest building west of Chicago. It will be on the corner of Third and Market streets, diagonally opposite the Chronicle building. Marble will be the material used for the walls. The building will be fifteen stories high. Claus Spreckels, the sugar king, is putting up the structure, which will cost a million dollars.—Ashlaad (Or.) Record. No Home Too Good for It. The San Francisco CArL will have new quarters. Claus Spreckels will erect for it a fifteen-story building at the corner of Third and Market streets, constructed in the latest methods and fitted up with the latest appointments. TrE CALL has pro- ressed under Editor Shortridge and no Oi‘ue is too good for it.—Weaverville Jour- nal. Others Put in the Shade. Claus Spreckels will soon erect a new home for THE CALL that will put in the shade an{ of the mammoth newspaver buildings in New York or Chi- cago. The building will be constructed of marble and will comprise fifteen stories— ora height of 310 feet.—Auburn (Wash.) Argus. ‘Wants of Both. Claus Spreckels proposes to build a mil- lion-dollar palace for THE CALL, while the Rustler devil is urging upon us the neces- sity of getting some new rollers for the hand press. Itisa difficult task to satisfy the wants of everybody in a printing office.—Watsonville Rustler. Above Its Contemporaries. The San Francisco Caurn building will Joom 100 feet above the tallest building in San Francisco. THE CALL itself stands provortionately above its San Francisco contemporaries.—Willapa (Wash.) Pilot. Once a Bantling, Now a Great Journal. Claus Spreckels is about to erect in San Francisco a splendid marble palace fifteen stories high, in which THE Mor~iNGg CALL will be installed. It will be 310 feet in height, and of handsome design and finish. It will tower far above any building now standing in San Francisco, and excel any building on the Pacific Coast. How little the humble printers who started the bantling into existence in the early fifties imagined the day would come when as a great journal it would occupy the finest newspaper office in the world.— Contra Costa Gazette. Rising Like a Great Tower. The San Francisco CarL of last Satur- day, the 17th, devotes its entire first page to a description and a picture of a new and handsome office building which is1n course Allen O. Bragg, Editor of the Reno (Nev.) Gazette. of erection for it. The building is well worth the space which was devoted to its description. It will be, when completed, 310 feet in height, and, measured by stories, fifteen stories high. The structure will be composed almost entirely of mar- ble and steel, and will therefore cost a fortune. Howeyer, the latter is no hin- drance, as Claus Spreckels, the noted capi- talist, is at the back of the financial part of it. When finished it will look like an immense tower. rising far above any sur- rounding buildings, and will be a vary fair rival of the large buildings of Eastern cities. TuECaLL will indeed have reason to be proud of its new home when it gets domiciled therein.—Colton News. Santa Clara’s Sturdy Stuff. You may talk of your great California dailies as you please, call them “monarch” or any other term, but there remains one uncontrovertible fact, and that is that THE Cavr, since it threw off its rusty cloak of silurianism and gassed into the capable hands of Charles M. Shortridge, Las taken the lead. The vigor, push and go-aheadi- tiveness of Shortridge is an object lesson of what San Jose produces, and should be a forcible 1llustration of the sturdy stuff that is matured by the balmy climate of Santa Clara County.—San Jose Democrat. Has Forged Ahead, The new home of THE CALL will be fifteen stories height. The paper that speaks for all has forged ahead in a surprising man- ner, and well it might, for it bas the finest journalist on tne Pacific Coast at_its head, Wells Drury. Mr. Drary has risen from the lowest round of the ladder to the high- est position on a paper—from the reporto- rial staff to managing editor. He knows every Efll't of journalistic work, and THE CaLL has, in Mr. Drury, a man respected by every citizen of California.—Marin Press. Most Complete in the World.

It will be the greatest and handsomest newspaper building in the world.—Alturas Heru‘g. Not Possible in a Spanish Province. The San Francisco CALL’s new home will be a fifteen-story building of marble and steel. Suppose California was a province of Spain, how many centuries would elapse to make it possible to print such a paper as THE CALL in its principal city? Ask Cuba.—Nooksock Reporter. Colusa Offers Stone. TrE CArLL and Examiner are both going to build handsome edifices in San Fran- cisco for official purposes. Why cannot Colusa County furnish them with the stone for that purpose—that handsome gray stone at the %unrry on_the Colusa and Lake Railroad ?—Colusa Sun. Nearer Heaven. The new home of the S8an Francisco CaLL is to be 300 feet high. The editorial rooms will without doubt be in the dome, so the worthy occupants can boast of being nearer heaven than any of the rest of the craft in that City.—Los Alamos Central. Capped With a Dome. Ban Francisco, like Chicago, is to have a sky-scraper of a building. Claus Soreck- els has contracted for the erection of a John Wasson, Editor of the Pomona Times. fifteen-story building, to be put up at once on Third and Market streets. When com- pleted, it will be 310 feet in height, and will be capped with an attractive dome.

The structure wiil be fifteen stories in height—the tallest building in the City—and will cost with the ground on which it will stand, at the corner of Market and Third streets, nearly three-quarters of a million dollars. The structure when completed will be one of which San Fran- cisco may well be proud. It will also be a lasting monument to the public spirit of Mr. Spreckels. Unlike most Californians who have accumulated wealth, that gentle- man has laid out his means in this State instead of taking it East, where so many California fortunes have gone. Had others who have grown wealthy in the Golden State been actuated by ‘the same public spirit which Mr. Spreckels displays San Francisco and the entire State would be better off to-day.—San Diego Union. A Monument of Good Works. Claus Spreckels is about to commence the erection of a new home for THE CALL. Tt will be on the corner of Market and Third streets, and will be fifteen stories high, totally eclipsing the great Chronicle building. This will be a great monument to the enterprise of the sugar king, and at the same time a great advertisement for THE CALL. And in the meantime, THE CALL is erecting for itself a monument of good works that will outlive the building. The country people of this State have es- pecial reasons for wishing THE CALL suc- cess and for contributing toward it.—Mer- ced Sun. A Worthy Exponent of Right. Work on Tre CALL’s new home on Mar- ket street, San Francisco, will be com- menced shortly. It will be a 15-story building, 310 feet high, and one of the most magnificent newspaper homes in the world. THE CaLL is worthy in every re- spect of such a modern and costly home, being clean and fearless and an able expo- nent of the cause of the people in matters of public importance. The building will be erected by Claus Spreckels, and it will take about a year to complete it.—Fort Bragg Advocate. Largest of Newspaper Buildings. Claus Spreckles is soon to erect a fifteen-story building for the San Fran- cisco Cary, which will be the largest newspaper building in the world.

Has Favorably Impressed the People. There is no reason why the people of California, and especially San Francisco and vicinity, should not feel grateful toward Charles M. Shortridge, the present proprietor of THE CALr. Ever since he took charge it has met the people in gen- eral in a most favorable manner and words of praise cannot express the opinion of all. The latest move is to erect a handsome structure 310 feet in height. Long may THE CALL live and prosper.—Pleasanton Times. Towering in Height.

The San Francisco CalL has had a phenomenal growth since Charles M. Shortridge has had control of it. He has catered to the interior of the State, and the result has shown his sagacity all through, At first the other bay editors looked upon Shortridge and his work as something grotesque and made fun of him, but when they found he was cutting in on their subscription lists at a terrible rate | they began to attempt to follow in his steps, but were much too late—he had cap- tured the territory and bas held it.

It will be perfect in all its appointmentsand will cost in the neighborhood of a round million.— Stockton Record. Near Heaven While Alive. TrE MORNING CALL is to have a fifteen- story palatial building to be housed in, and the editors, it is said, will be housed on the top floor.

Onward and Upward. The motto of THE CALL of San Francisco is, apparently, “Onward and Upward.” The first part of the motto it has consist- ently fulfilled, and is to-day one of the best newspapers in the world.

Like a Monument. Claus Spreckels is to put up a fifteen~ story building in San Francisco and Tue CavrL is to be installed therein, together with divers other business offices and es- tablishments. A cutof the structure looks more like a monument than a building, and such it is, for it marks the period in the history of San Francisco when the erection of sky-scraping edifices began and the City took architectural rank with Chicago, New_ York and othern Eastern places.—Pasadena Evening Star. Triumph of Architectural Art. A recent number of the S8a2n Francisco CarL gives a full page illusiration of its splendid new home, now in course of con- struction.
