MIRRORS CALIFORNIA'S GLORY- The Call of San Francisco issued on the 1ghty-5 ser to celebrate 16th an eighty-page paper e the completion and occupancy of its new home in the magnificent buflding erected for it by Claus Spreckels. The occasion HHHRKK KKK work, its numerous carefully selected and well written articles are of infinite value to the State, and its handsome new dress throughout was appreciated by its pat- rons. Domiciled in the most commodious and elegant home of any newspaper in the world, backed by good business brains and that great prerogative to journalis- tic success—practically unlimited means —a working knowledge of what is re- quired to develop the vast and unrivaled resources of California and the great Pa- cific Coast, The Call is the hope of the Occldent. May that journal lead in giv- ing the news, clean and able reports, and force other metropolitan papers to prune filth from their columns.—Sonoma County Farmer. LONG WAVE ITS BANNER. The San Francisco Call issued a New Era edition Sunday morning. It com- memorated in this way its occupationiof the new sixteen-story Call building on Market street, San_Francisco, the tallest structure on the Pacific Coast. This number of The Call is truly a marvel in typographical excellence, and one of the largest and best editio ever issued by any of the San Francisco dailies.

There was much to admire and praise in the Christmas Call. It was decidedly the most artistic of the big papers yet issued on the coast, and we have not seen it excelled by the press of any city. The typographical style of the paper in most of its features was excellent, and the pa- per bore evidences of the work of the skilled craftsman in its details. In its pages newspaper fllustration reached a degree of perfection actually undreamed of even flve years ago, and a magazine would have been quite satisfied with as goood work ten years ago.—Santa Cruz Surf. “THE CALL" IS ON TOP. The New Era edition of the San Fran- clgco Call, issued last Sunday, was a masterpiece of mnewspaper work. No better, neater or more readable paper was ever issued from a newspaper office in the West. The Call is on top, and romises to stay there.—Denny's Pony Epress. SHOULD BE SCATTERED BROADCAST. The San Francisco Call issued a grand new era edition on the 19th inst., which is a credit not only to the enterprising S22 L Lt the world as a news fleld, but a com- ?lele resume of California’s industries is ound'in its columns.

The New Era Edition of the San Fran- cisco Call Sunday can be written down as 2 grand triumph of journalistic achieve- ment. It called for the making of an 80- page paper and drew upon the best tal- ent of the designing and picture making fraternity, and demonstrated what a great, modernly equipped office can do In the daily newspaper line. Its columns were enriched by the contributions of well known writers in different flelds of State development, and its indicators were all made to point to & new era of prosperity for California.—Napa Regis- ter. A GREAT NEWSPAPER. The largest and most complete editlon of a newspaper ever published on the Pacific Coast was that of the San Fran- cisco Dally Call of Sunday, December 18, The paper contained 80 pages and was published in honor of that journal's re- moval to its handsome new building, the finest structure for business purposes on the coast.

By way of a return of the official visit paid to local military headquar- ters last Monday by Captain Fegen and Lieutenant Baird of the British warships Leander and Viragu respec- tively, Brigadier-General Shafter was to have called upon the British naval officers yesterday forenoon on their vessels in the harbor. Unfortunately, however, the programme had to be changed somewhat, as indisposition on the pdart of General Shafter rendered 1t necessary for him to delegate to one of his alds, Lieutenant Noble, the du- ties of the military social function, The lieutenant, however, represented his commander in a manner which left nothing to be desired and upheld the dignity of his Government in a style calculated to cultivate the comity of natlons. ——— The Moana Delayed.
