OCEAN SHORE ROAD
Open TOHALF MOON
Company Is Now Operating
Thirty Miles of Line at
This End
Graders Are Working on Bluffs
Between San Gregorio Creek
and Long Bridge

The Ocean Shore railway this week
extended the running schedule of daily
trains from Granada to Half Moon Bay
proper and Arleta Park. The company
is now operating at this end of the
line 80 miles of railway. running four
trains daily and eight trains on Sun
days.
The grading between ArIeta Park and
Long Bridge is about completed and
the laying Of rails will commence next
week Chief Engineer Rogers says the
trains will run to Long Bridge. which
is three miles north of San Gregorio,
about November 15.
Contractors started to work yester-
day on the bluffs between San Gregorio
creek and Long Bridge. Several hun
.dred men and teams are at work grad
ing the right of way between these two
points, and 1t is expected that this
part Of the route will be completed in
about 80 days.
Contractors are also preparing to
grade the right of way between PeSca-
dero and San Gregorio. Work will be
rushed as rapidly as possible to open
the line to Santa Cruz in time for next
summers business.
The earnings of the Ocean Shore are
increasing monthly, and as soon as the
road is open to Long Bridge a large
increase will come from the fact that
it will be more advantageous for ship
pers between San Gregorio and Pesca-
dero to ship by railroad than over the
mountains to Redwood City by team.
The following statement of earnings
during the past nine months shows a
healthy state of business and indicates
large profits for this railroad as soon
as it is open to Santa Cruz and Wat
sonville. In March the road ran only to
Pedro Valley, and since June to
Granada
The earnings are as follows: Janu-
ary, $4,405.62; February. $5,325.s3;
March, sS,904.47; April, $s.392.S2; May,
