swered their purpose in front of the
mold, it is necessary to distribute and re-
turn them to the magazine. from which
they are again in due time discharged in
different order for use in succeeding
lines
After the casting operation the line of
matrices, having answered its purpose, is
lifted vertically and then shifted laterally
till the teeth engage the corresponding
teeth in a plate which then rises, lifting
the entire line of matrices to the dis
tributing mechanism. at the top of the
magazine. The spaces remain behind
when the matrices are lifted to the dis
tributor, and are transferred laterally to
the box or holder to be used again
The matrices pursue circulatory
course through the machine, starting
from the mouth of the magazine and
passing downward to the line in which
they are assembled thence to the mold
to produce the letters on the linotype,
and finally back to the magazine at the
top. 1t is this circulation process, and
the fact that the operation of composing
one line, casting from another and dis
tributing third are carried on in cur
rently, and without interference, that
enables the machine to operate at such
amazing speed. Operated by single
person, the machine produces and as
sembes linotypes ready for the press
and stereotyping table at the rate of
from 5000 to 1000 ems per hour, this
variation in speed de pending upon the ex-
pertness of the operator.

A NEW HOME
The Editorial and Press Rooms Located
on Fourth and Los Angeles Streeta

The Editorial and Press Rooms Located
on Fourth and Los Angeles Streets
While new and radical departure has
been made in the mechanical depart
ment, it has been almost simultaneous
with other changes of almost equal i'm
portance.
The old quarters on New High street
were contracted and ill adapted for the
purposes required, and arrangements
made by which THE HERALD gained
home i'll every way sufficiently COM
modious until an uptown block is built,
and which will serve as the permanent
abode of the leading paper in Southern
California.
The structure on Fourth, near Los An
geles street, while not presenting to the
public pretentious exterior, interiorly
is convenient and we'll adapted for the
purposes for which it was erected.
On the ground floor is the composing
room, containing the newly added bat
terry of Mergenthaler linotype machines
and the pressroons, with abundant stor-
age space. On the upper floor are the
reportorial rooms, city and telegraph
editors and artists rooms and the sane
tum of the editor-in chief. In the rear
is the composing room, heretofore in use,
with multifarious paraphernalia required
in setting up a city newspaper. Closely
adjacent is the stereotyping department,
with its ponderous machinery, and other
necessary offices.
The business office in the Bradbury
building is the handsomest Of its kind in
Southern California, and has few equals
in the State
Wainscoted with hard oak, the pillars
are covered with enameled matrices of
THE HERALD, thus giving a unique effect
and serving to give the visitor an idea of
how the paper is printed. Private Offices
for the president and business manager
are handsomely appointed, while the
cashier, book-keeper and manager of the
circulating department are comfortably
found with the necessary conveniences
for their corps of assistants.

Linotype is not a types setting machine.
On the contrary, it is a machine which,
being operated by finger keys like a
typewriter creates or produces type mat
ter ready for use on the press or stereo-
typing table.
Without adhering too closely to techni-
calities a brief description of the mechan-
ism of the machines, by means of which
this paper was set up, will doubtless be
of interest to many readers.
The Linotype is manipulated with a
keyboard, the operation of which pro-
duces and assemblies side by side metal
bars or slugs, each of the length and
width of line of type and having on
the upper edge the type characters 10
the appearance of solid lines of type, and
answering the same purpose, are called
"linotypes." When assembled side by
side they jointly constitute form, u
presenting on its surface the same ap-
pearance as form" composed of ordi-
nary type, and adapted to be used in the
same manner. After being used the limo
types are returned to the melting pot to
be recast into other lines.
The production of the linotypes is eff
fected in the following manner:
The machine contains, as its leading
members, large number of small brass
matrices, consisting each of a flat plate
having in its vertical edge a female letter
or matrix, and in the upper end series
of teeth. There are number of matrices
for each letter or character represented
on the keyboard.
The machine is organized to select
matrices bearing the required characters
and set them up in line side by side, with

Product of Genius, Appreciated Where

"There is no art or science that is too
difficult for industry to attain to; ; 1t is the
gift of tongues, and makes man under
stood and valued in all countries and by
all nations "-Loyd Clarendon.
The marvellous advances made in the
art of printing have reached climax in
the Linotype, pronounced by the leading
engineering authorities to be "the most
remarkabl machine of this century," 1t
is the outcome of twelve years of con-
tinuous experiment and invention, and
the expenditure of more than 81 900, 900.
The result is seen in the present standard
of the Linotype, machine marvellous in
speed, in the quality of its product and
in the perfection and action Of its parts.
OF these machines The Herald Pub
fishing Company owns and now operates
seven. Others will be added as the ne
cessity for their use arises. They are
named Carlisle, Gov. Budd, Laura, Char
lotte, Single Tax, Sound Money and JEFF

EDITORIAL ROOM.

At the end of six months Mr.. Storke
was compelled by financial necessity,
arising largely from lack of experience
in business affairs, to sell ont his interest
to certain citizens who incorporated as
the Los Angeles City and County Pub
fishing company. The capital stock was
set at SIS, 900, divided into 1900 shares of
the par value of 500 each. Articles of
incorporation were filed on February Io,
1874, the directors being F. P. F. Temple,
J. Bixby, R. M. Widney, P. Beaudry, T.
A. Carey, J. w. Lord, J. S. Thompson
and J. w. Potts.
1t was decided that close attention
should be paid to local affairs and the
resources and possibilities of Southern
California in general and Los Angeles
county in particular be made known 10
the outside world. This line of policy
having been determined upon, the editor
was instructed to that effect, but that in
dividual had notions of his own as to how
the paper ought to be run. With the
most cheerful persistency he insisted
upon bringing into very active service
his two assistant editors-the scissors and
paste poland filled the paper with clip
pings about the outside world. Inas-
much as local residents read the same
items in the original papers they were
devoid of interest to them, and to the
outside world such news could only be
stale, flat and utterly Improbable

were then editing and publishing the
E0enfng Express. Under the new con-
ditions Mr.. Lynch assumed charge of
THE HERALD and Mr. Ayres retained
the editorial chair of the EtbyeSS
In 1883 Mr.. Lynch became the sole
proprietor of the paper, having sold the
Express to Messrs. Osborne and Cleve-
land. At the expiration of Mr.. Ayers
term as state printer in 1857, he returned
to Los Angeles and purchased half in
terest in THE HERALD. From thence on
it was carried on as Democratic organ
and published in the Jones block on
Spring street opposite the Bullard block
In the spring of 1888 the editorial and
business departments were removed to
the Hellman block on Second street.
At that time perfecting press was
purchased from the San Francisco BNlIe-
Tin, but the machine proved failure and
was abandoned and in 1898 a new Hoe
perfecting press was installed, the invest
ment proving in every way success.
In October, 1894, syndicate of gentle
men obtained the majority of the stock,
and Judge Stephens became vice-presi-
dent of the company. Messrs. Ayers &
Lynch severed their connection with the
Cultolldi management, oue iSedAhSN q
financial interest until the following
month, when John Bradbury purchased
a controlling interest in THE HERALD
and made many Improvements in the
property.
In the spring of 1895 John Bradbury
retired and William S. Creighton and
Te1fair Creighton obtained controlling
interest, the former becoming editor-in-
chief of the paper and the latter upon
the resignation of William Lacy was
elected president of The Herald Publish
ing company.
Under the new order of things many
improvements have been made tending
to enhance the value of the property.
OF these the most notable is the instala-

cal and literary skill known as the daily
newspaper, which is so casually scanned
by the average citizen each morning over
the breakfast table.
From its inception until the present
time THE HERALD has not been exempt
from the drawbacks and difficulties in
cident to the life of every great journal
of the country. Since the initial issue
on October 2, 1873, when Los Angeles had
a population of 5000 souls, it has expert
enced in its career many obstacles and
disappointments its intentions have
been misconstrned and its objects mis-
represented, but despite all this those
who have had from time to time con-
troll of its destinies have endeavored to
make it perform the true function of a
newspaper-to give the news truly and
without attempting to wrest and dis
tort public opinion by partial coloring.
That this guiding principle was the
correct one THE HERALD of today strong
ly emphasizes The truest merit is not
always certified to by the greatest mea-
sure of success, as the world counts it
in dollars and cents were it not so the
Police Gazette, with its corrupting inhu-
ences, might be accepted as the form and
model of metropolitan journalism. The
steadily increasing appreciation of the
thoughtful public, while, perhaps, not so
profitable as the unthinking patronage
of the multitude, or the blind adherence
of the bigot and the partisan, is never
theless the most worthy clientele for any
paper to aspire to obtain, and this ideal
of attainment, however many its short
comings, THE HERALD has steadily kept
in view. For twenty-three years it has
theoretically battled with adversities until
now it has reached a position in the
journalistic field that entities it to place
in the front ranks of modern and pro-
gressive newspapers.
Today battery of Mergenthaler limo
type machines has replaced the old-time
method of hand-composition in vogue
during the early quarter of century of
the papers existence. Thus equipped
with the most modern of the require
ments of metropolitan newspaper,
brief survey Of the past serves only to
stimulate to new exertion, while bidding
fair promise of what yet lies from view
and experience by the curtain of time.
