Leader of the Dailies.
| The San Francisco DAILY CALL has be-
come, under its present management, the
fairest, the broadcast, most comprehensive
newspaper on the coast, and it is to
be housed in the grandest building
in the United States when finished.
Last Saturday mornings issue prints
a full page illustration of the pro-
posed building, work On the foundation
of which has already commenced. It's To-
cation, If we are not mistaken, is at the
southwesterly corner of Market and Third
streets, occupying the site just opposite
the old Nucleus building. The front will
open on Market street. The structure will
be 80 feet high, and will be fifteen stories,
and surmounted by dome; the whole
will rest upon foundation 71x75 feet.
The height of the building is such that it
will take the style and form of tower in
design and finish; the first three stories
forming the base the next seven the shaft,
the last five the cornice and dome, which
latter will be highly ornamented. There
will be three elevators, thoroughly
modern in every way and swift
in motion. One of the elevators
will start from the basement. The other
two will start from the ground floor, and
all will run clear to the fifteenth story,
where it is proposed to have magnifi-
Gently appointed and perfectly conducted
cafe and restaurant. The thirteenth and
fourteenth stories will be occupied by THE
CALL; the thirteenth floor will be the edi-
toriaI and art departments, and the four
teenth the composing-room and stereotype
department. The presses will occupy the
entire basement, which will be consider
ably larger than the foundation, because it
| will extend under the sidewalk of both
fronts to the edge of the street. Electricity
will be the only power used in the building
for any purpose. The ground floor will be
fitted up for stores, while the other floors
up to the fourteenth will be fitted for
offices of splendid appointments. Claus
Spreckels, the sugar manufacturer is au-
thor of this great building enterprise, and
The CALL will occupy the thirteenth and
fourteenth stories, as before stated. The
vigoY, enterprise. fairness and broad lib
erality of THE CALL is rapidly lifting that
paper to the "head of the procession" of
newspaperdom on the Pacific Coast, if, in
deed, it has not already reached that posi-
ton. The Examiner must hereafter take
a second position unless it very materially
changes its course and broadens and lib
eralizes its policy. The CALL is in the
contest for the lead, and we think its spirit
of fairness its disposition to recognize all
sections and interests, will soon cause the
Pacific Coast public to vote it the leader
of the dailies. Western Waterman (Eu-
