Wide Awake San Francisco Will Be
Glad.
In the last eighteen months Claus
Spreckels has invested about 100000 in
San Francisco real estate. When Mr..
| Spreckels bought the lot at the cor
ner OF Market and Third streets specu-
lation was rife as to his building inten-
tions and all sorts of rumors were afloat.
1t finally transpired that he intended to
erect modern business building on the
lot, with the view Of ornamenting that sec
ton of the City and properly housing THE
MORNING CALL Within the week con-
siderable progress has been made in demol-
ishing the building on the Third and
Market street corner. and in ten days al
most the last vestige of an old dilapidated
and fully undesirable Landmark will have
disappeared. There will be the usual re-
grets expressed by ,onr esteemed contem-
porarles, and those of our pioneers who
live In the past and who have little use for
the present and none for the future will
shake their heads sadly as the bricks come
down, But new, wide-awake San Fran
cisco will rejoice and be exceeding glad.
MIR. Spreckels will erect a fine, handsome
fifteen-story building on this conspicuous
corner of Market and Third, and plans of
this building contemplate structure
eighty-five feet higher than the highest
point of the Chronicle building, on the
northeast corner of Market and Kearny
streets. Mr.. Spreckels paid 100000 for the
corner and the new building will cost $780,

Earning Prosperity.
Claus Spreckels is to build for the San
Francisco CALL magnificent home. The
building will be fifteen stories in height,
with a dome, and will be constructed in
the finest style of modern art. 1t will be
80 feet in height, or nearly bali taller
than any other structure in San Francisco.
On all this The CALL may be congratu-
lated, but it is for another thing that the
Republican feels even more inclined to
felicitate that paper. 1t Is earning pros
perity by its conduct. 1t is on the right
side of questions and stands for decency
and high tone in newspaper management.
1t opposes lotteries, Southern Pacific ex-
tortion, political corruption as represented
by San Francisco's Solid Eight, muck-rak-
ing in reporting criminal cases and other
evil things. In brief, THE CALL is high,
and it deserves popular support, for,
withal, it is frst-rate newspaper. The
Republican is glad it is going to have the
finest newspaper home in the world and
hopes and expects it will continue to de.
serve it.-Fresno Morning Republican.

Doing Yeoman Service.
The San Francisco CALL, which, in the
short time it has been conducted by Mr..
Shortridge, has leaped to the front of San
Francisco dailies, is soon to have the finest
building in San Francisco for its home.
The old traditions of poverty and sawdust
pudding, which were at one time INSOFAR
able from newspaper life, have all gone
now, and the daily papers are the leading
aristocrats of the big cities. The CALL de-
serves good home, for it is doing yeoman
service for the City and State, and much
to elevate the City press.-San Andreas
Prospect.
Nearly Double the Highest.
Perhaps by the close of 1895 the San
Francisco CALL will be installed in it's
fifteen-story marble palace at the corner of
Market and Third streets. When finished
it will be the grandest structure on the
Pacific Coast. The building will be 80
feet high, an elevation nearly double that
reached by the highest point of any other
building in San Francisco. THB CALL is
climbing up, and that's fact.-Alameda

Coming to the Front.
The San Francisco CALL is rapidly COM

position among the great dailies of the

The new building to be erected by Claus
