Increased TeleRraphtc News Ser-

vice.
With to-morrow's publication will
commence the increased and improv-
ed telegraphic service to the HERALD.
By the new arrangements entered in
to with the Associated Press-the most
extensive and thorough news or
ganization ever established-we shall
receive our Eastern and cable dis
patches direct. Instead of the Eastern
report being repeated at San Fran
cisco, and there manipulated and cut
down as heretofore, it will come to us
in it's fullness, direct from Paris,
London, New York, Washington
and Chicago. Under the contract
we shall be entitled to at least ten
thousand words per day-an increase
of about seven thousand words over
our present service. The Pacific
coast news is also included in this inn
proved arrangement, and we shall re-
ceive dispatches from every part of
the coast to the extent of several
thousand words daily. This will
cover every event transpiring in Ari-
xona, Mexico, Nevada. Utah, Idaho,
Montana, Oregon, Washington Terri
tory, British Columbia and such parts
Of Alaska as are now or may be
brought within telegraphic communi-
cation. The ramfcations of this ex-
tensive news service reach to every
part of the globe, and will enable the
HERALD to at once attain to the highest
degree of efficiency as a vehicle of
news. 1t will be difficult for us to
utilize these elaborate reports to their
full extent until we shall have
moved into our new building
and got our new perfection press
running. The press is now on its
way here, and we hope thatthe build
ing will be ready for it's reception as
soon as it arrives. A new large Demp-
ster engine and boiler are now here
readyto be put up. The folder which we
have had built is somewhere on the
road between here and Chicago. This
ID very formidable and costly piece
Of machinery, and will fold up to the
capac city of the press, which is at the
rate Of $4,000 per hour. The HERALI
will be enlarged to about the size o
the San Francisco Call, and when tina
is effected we shall be enabled to pre-
sent to our readers a paper so com.

We have been sorely tried during
the past six months by circumstances
beyond our control. In order to make
room for our new press and machin
cry, which we purchased last Septem
Der, it was found necessary to erect (
new building. Notwithstanding tina
structure was commenced in October
it is as yet unfinished. Thus W,
have been waiting six months, with al
this machinery ready to put up. for
building which in ordinary time
would have been finished in 81,
weeks. To say that we have bee1
hanging all this time "on the ragge,
edge" of an insuperable difficult
would but family express our situa
ton. The delay has cost u
thousands of dollars in actua
outlay, not to mention the consequen
tial losses to us by the impossibilit
Of expanding our business as its ex
actions demanded. We had hoped t
at least have been ready with our en-

telegraphic arrangements should hav'
gone into operation. But in this, too
