TIE BECosD-URIoE" AID ITS NEWS
ARRANGEMENTS.

AZ soon as the necessary arrangements
can be completed the RECORD UNIoN will
publish evening editions, for dispatch upon
the various trains which leave Sacramento
for all parts Of the coast and country dur
ing the afternoon and evening. This step
has been rendered unavoidable by the in
creasing demand for the paper in all direc.
tons, and it has been resolved on by the
management as a fresh earnest of its deter.
mination to maintain the supremacy in the
gathering and distribution of news which
this journal long since achieved. The
business and circulation of the RECORD.
UNION have never been in so prosperous
condition as now. 1t has not less than
rs, GOO readers for the daily and semi
weekly editions combined. 1t penetrates
to every part of the Pacific Coast States
and Territories. No journal of its class on
the coast has anything like SO large an in
terror circulation as the SEMI WEEKLY
UNION, and no other journal is to be found
at such remote and widely separated
points.
The causes of this large circulation are
no doubt various, but the splendid news
facilities possessed by the RECORD. UNION
enable it at all times to surpass its competi.
tors. No journal outside of San Francisco
has OF can have equal news advantages,
and all pretenses to tie contrary are false.
The RECORD UNION is the only journal out
side OF San Francisco which is member
ated Press is the most complete and per-
feet machine for the collection of news, not
only on the continent Of North America,
sut in the world. Through our member
ship in this Association we are connected
with every Jews association in existence.
The New York Press Association has it's
agents all over Europe, and all over the
Union. The Press Association of the Pa
ciic coast, which furnishes the New York
organization with all the news of this side
of the continent, is marvel of successful
organization. 1t has two hundred and
fifty agencies on this coast. 1t gathers
every scrap of news from every quarter.
When the last Presidential election was
held it undertook the task Of collecting the
returns from the whole State, and ON that
occasion it beat the Western Union Tele.
graph Company three to one.
Whatever news the New York Press
Association and the California Associated
Press possess, belongs of right to the
RECORD UNION. There is one journal in
California which attempts to supply itself
with news, and which furnishes few
interior papers with selections from its
dispatches. All the papers which procure
their news in this way, however, are com.
PEELED to take such matter as is given
them. They do not get all the news, or
anything like all the news. They are not
members of any Press Association. They
pay small sums and they get little driblets
of news; and the most important matter
is as rule withheld from them until the
journals which supply them have used it.
The RECORD. UNION spends from SIG, 900
to $4,000 a year upon its news. 1t
expsnds eight dollars for every dollar
expended by any other paper outside of
San Francisco. There is in fact no room
for comparison between its enterprise on
this head and that of any other interior
journal on the Pacific coast.
1t also publishes five times as much
matter as any other journal outside of San
Francisco. One of it's issues commonly
contains as much matter as most other
journals print in week of six days. There
is no interior paper which can compare
with it either in news facilities, circula-
ton, or quantity of matter, and this the
public have ascertained for themselves.
The truth is that the journals which are
members of the Associated Press are on
