 LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23.-Many of the people of Los Angeles thought they had in some mysterious manner and unconsciously lost a day out of the calendar when they heard the news boys shouting the Sunday Jubilee edi- tion of The Call on the streets this af- ternoon. It was the first time in the history of journalism on the coast that a San Francisco newspaper reached this section of the State on the same day that it appeared in the metropolis.
 People were simply bewildered and it was difficult in many cases for the lads who were selling the paper to make their customers comprehend the actual state of affairs; the people were in- clined to look upon the boys as being engaged in a confidence game in a small way until convinced of the true situation by being shown copy of the paper with its handsomely illustrated cover and the date thereon. On every side were heard remarks of astonish- ment that the run should have been made in quick enough time to permit of having The Call on the streets here as early as 2:45 o'clock on the day of its publication.
 And words of praise were generously bestowed on the management of The Cali for the well directed, judicious and honect enterprise that made such thing possible. This innovation was locked upon as only one of the many indications lately given by The Call that a new era had dawned in journal ism on the Pacific Coast and that The Call was determined to be the leader in this new journalism that has for its watchword Truth, accuracy, decency, enterprise and progress"
 It lacked but a few minutes of 2:30 D. m. when the special train containing the many thousand copies of The Call destined for Los Angeles and the other cities and towns south of this point pulled into the Arcade depot. All the necessary arrangements had been made by J. NJ. Cremin, the superintendent of circulation of The Call, who is now in Los Angeles, for the prompt dispatch of the papers to the other towns in Southern California, and by Fl. w. Pat ton, the local agent of The Call, for the prompt distribution of the papers to the subscribers in this city. In less than fifteen minutes from the time the engine came to a stop in the Arcade depot the newsboys were selling The Sunday Call on the streets. and before the shades of night descended upon the city many thousand copies had been disposed of, notwithstanding the fact that but few people are on the streets on Sunday.
 Here are a few expressions of opinion on the enterprise of The Call in giving to the people of Los Angeles a San Francisco paper on the day it is pub lished in the city at the Golden Gate:
 Senator Robert N. Bulla-This is a remarkable and commendable piece of enterprise from many standpoints. One thing of importance that it demon strates is how much less time need be consumed in making the trip between San Francisco and Los Angeles if the railroad company would always do its best It shows that The Call is not go- ing to let the matter of expense stand in it's way when its purpose is to serve the people; it shows that the new management of The Call has adopted policy under which 1t intends to give the people the best possible service in every respect, whether inside or out side the city.
 | Dr. M M. Kannon-It is a wonderful performance. I never heard of such a i thing before.
 Mark R. Plaisted, editor of the River side Enterprise-I think this is the l first time any of the San Francisco papers have done anything of this | kind It seems to me that the new management of The Call is now get ting out a paper that, if the present policy is maintained, will soon leave all others behind. The running of a special train to Los Angeles is a great piece of enterprise. It is in line with my idea of journalism.
 T. Fred Sohmeiser recording secre- tary of the Council of Labor-I think it a great stroke of enterprise on the part of The Call. This departure will be certain to attract the attention ot the people generally to The Call, and will show that it's enterprise will mol sllow anything to stand in the way ol serving the people.
 Milo M. Potter, proprietor of the | Hotel Van Nuys-The Call deserves ths highest compliments for undertaking and carrying out such an innovation It shows what can be done by people of energy and enterprise. It is won derful that a paper can be published 800 miles away from here and be here on the same day it Is published | The Call keeps up this kind of enter prise. the result will be that it will SC
 
 make them hustle. To my surpris, many of the Eastern people who ar, stopping here remarked about Tn, Calls feat and paid 1t many compli ments. Usually they take little ol no notice of California papers pub lished outside of Los Angeles.
