san Francisco. June 2S-The' Call pub
fishes the following in It's local columns
this morning: 1.-THE acquisition of the
United Press service and the setting in
motion of the second giant quadruplex
Hoe press by the Cali as announced in
last Fridays issue, are features Of news
paper. progress and advancement that are
attracting the attention of newspaper
readers all over the city and the Pacific
coast.
In the past two days many generous ex-
pressions of appreciation have been heard
in this city and they are such words as
prove that the readers Of the Call are
quick to notice any Improvement in a
newspaper that strives to give them the
best possible service, both in the quality of
the news and speed in serving its patrons
vice and capacity and speed in turning out
the Call have been the natural result of a
very liberal patronage by the people, who
have come to demand a newspaper devot-
ed TO their interest. The two presses now
in operation are capable of turning out
$1,000 eight-page papers an hour, or $4,000
sixteen page papers, so that the increased
number of subscribers may now be served
as quickly as the patrons of the old Call
The added telegraphic service Is a dis
tinctive feature and embraces the same
sources of news-getting as the New York
sun, Herald, Tribune and Times, the big
four of the eastern press, these papers be-
ing the sponsors for The United Press.
These four papers present each day the
most essential news features Of the world
and the CAN in its acquisition of the United
Press service, is placed on and equal foot
ing with the "big four in the matter of
securing the very cream of the news of
the world. And in this way the Call is
enabled to furnish a news service superior
TO that of any paper of the Pacific coast.
AT the city hail. Fridays Call was a
genuine surprise. In journalistic enter
prise 1t is nine days wonder and the ex-
pressions of approval were kindly and I'M
stinted. Among the federal officials the
new paper, with it's approved Geographic
service, caused good deal of comment.
SO the Call has again broken away
from the traditions of the daily press and
IS now seeking the news through new
channels, said Deputy Postmaster Doyle.
Judging from yesterdays and to-day's
issues the venture is q success and the
United Press is to be congratulated for
the manner in which it is filling the bill
Candidly think the change from a news
standpoint is an Improvement and the for
eign and the eastern news in the Call is
better than ever. l am not a republican,
but / take the Call regularly and / am

THE Calls Geographic news is better
than ever said Collector Of the Port John
+. Wise. During my perusal 1 have noted
many Geographic items of interest to me
that have not seen in the other papers
/ think with the increased Geographic
facilities which the United Press Will
give the Call it will distance It's contenl-
poraries in foreign and domestic news
The Call is great paper said Dep
uty Collector of Internal Revenue Louis
Loupe. Mr.. Shortridge seems determined
to get out of the rut at any cost, and there
can be no question that he is turning out
live paper. l like the United Press
kilograms. There is snap in them that
carries conviction and the details help
out the story wonderfully. 1 take great
interest in the paper and am glad to see
1t pushing ahead
On change and along the city front the
new departure of the Call was favorably
commented upon its appearance having
attracted attention everywhere. Shipping
men are quick to notice improvements and
TO appreciate a good thing.
The Call is up to date said A. Z.
Prior of Piper Alden GodalI Co., and
think they have made another move in the
right direction. L have noticed with iE-
terest the steady march of Improvement
in the paper and its standing to-day is
another proof of what energy, enterprise
and good management will do"
That's a great paper commented
Harbor Commissioner CLAIBORNE. The
Call has been publishing the news right
along-all the news, and has been ahead
of its competitors on local matters, and
with a combination like it has made it
ought to be the greatest newspaper on
the coast. There r is nothing like pluck
and enterprise in the newspaper business.
The Call has been printing more Pa
cihc coast news than any paper on the
coast said c. c. Bruce, of Bruce, Bowen
d Co., and with the New York Herald,
Sun, and Tribune to draw from the news
Of the world, 1 should imagine that in
very short time it would be right in the
front ranks of journalism in the United
States. Its reputation for local news is
already established
have maintained right along that
the Call was the peer if not the superior
OF any paper published IN san Francisco
was the comment of Commissioner Cole.
1t gives the news in just the shape that
the business men want it, and to my mind
one of it's greatest qualifications is its
cleanliness. 1t is a great stroke of enter
prise and the paper is entitled to the sue
cess which will surely crown its efforts.
I am glad the Call is taking the
United Press dispatches said Congress-
man Samuel G. Hilborn. as we shall
now get all the news, all the time. If
the Call keeps up its Improvement in news
gathering facilities and advances as rap
IDLY in ideas, it will become the great
leader of the western press. Its improved
service since the new management took
hold and its generous devotion to the af-
lars that interests the people of the Pa
cifc coast is winning friends for it daily"
The Call prints the following editorially
this morning: I'm entering into an ALI
ance with The United Press, the Call has
paced itself in a. position to be of larger
service than ever not only to its readers,
but to the whole of the vast region known
as The Greater West This results from
