Every man, woman and child
IN San Francisco and Santa Cruz
will be enormously benefited by
the building of the Ocean Shore
Railway.
Benefited more than you think
Benefited far more than the men
who have put their fortunes into this
great enterprise.
The Ocean Shore Railway is open
Ing to industrial development a very
fertile and extremely resourceful
country, heretofore inaccessible, and
therefore practically dead.
Land which never earned taxes be-
fore the advent of this railway, is now
commanding from $3.50 to $1000an acre.
Land values have increased ten fold in
two years and they will continue to IN
crease
Whye
Simply because the Ocean Shore
Railway can carry the products OF this
soil to big and broad market, and help
the owners of these lands to make from
$500 to 5000 an acre each year.
The richest soil-the most pro-
ductive land anywhere on earth
is between Pedro Mountain and
Santa Cruz.
Thousands and thousands of
acres.
Here crop failures are unheard of
and the soil Yields profitable products
prolifclv the wear around.
Between Purissima and Scots
creek is a body Of redwood timber esti-
mated to contain over 100000, 900 feet
of marketable lumber
This timber has been required for
rebuilding San Francisco, but how
could it be hauled to market2
Within a few miles of San Fran
cisco, vet without a railroad it might
as well be in Africa
With the opening of the Ocean
Shore this timber will come to this
market and be landed here at less cost
than timber coming from any other
point In the State.
The Traffic Department of the Ocean
Shore has freight arrangements already
conSumlnated with three new and un-
developed industries which viii bring
a freight revenue alone OF over S250,000
a year to the company.
The Ocean Shore Railway is de-
veloping the business interests and in
creasing real estate values from Van
Ness avenue and Market street through
the Mission to Ocean View.
This railway will be the making of
Santa Cruz, which for years has been
cut off the main line of travel.
q There are none so blind as those
who refuse to see
1t is difficult to impress some people
with the Ocean Shore resources-es-
pecially those who are ignorant of the
country through which the road runs.
Experts men Of iudgment-co
mission men = grain buyers = timber
cruisers-traffic men-engineers-
others who have visited this country
are all unanimous in their praise and
prophecy.
The men who have studied this rail
way know that the traffic VIII be very
heavy.
In fact it is specifically known
among traffic men who figure carefully,
that when the Ocean Shore is completed

To pay its way. To advance TO the
place it belongs as an earning road.
The completion of the road is

The stock holders have put I'D over
100000, and 81 5O0,O 600 received from
the sale of bonds has also been invested

ANNIE MAKES A GREAT
LAWYER DEFEND
HUSBAND

in. Mr.. Jones said you wanted to
see me-"
Step by step Annie gains ground
in spite of Brewster's arguments,
she tells him that he and Howard s
| father are setting the whole world
against the boy because they re-
fuse to act. He tells her she is al
most as obstinate as her father-in-
law, and declares that he does not
defend criminal cases. That's just
why she wants him, then-Howard
is not a criminal.
rewster-There are other law.
yers.
Annie-But there's only one Mr.
Brewster-and he's the greatest
lawyer in the world, and he's going
to help us-he's going to save How
ards life.
Brewster-You always say that.
Upon my word, | shall begin to be-
lieve it soon
And the short of it is he does be-
leve it, and when she tells him he
is afraid of Towards father it
rather nettles him. She knows
Howard is innocent. just as she
knows there is God, yet she cant
tell why. Feminine deduction"
Brewster calls it. He begins talk
ing of her prospects and her father,
and when he says I'm sorry for
you,' she breaks into a hysterical
laugh. why do you laugh?" he
asks.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-12-09

We'll, If l don't laugh, I'll cry,
nd as | don't want to cry-why-I
,ust laugh. It's got to be one or
he other"
She is going home, she says, but
she will see him tomorrow, and
jerhaps he will have better news
or her.
"Sit down. hi commands. 81
want to ask you a question. How
10 you account for Towards con-
Tossing to the shooting?"
She doesn't account for it. He
says he didn't do it and doesn't re-
member confessing, and she be-
lieves he confessed against his
will. She has had talk with DR..
Bernstein, who was called in at the
time, and he says ain Clinton
uses hypnotic influ and claims
Howard is a "subjet,' Brewster
is growing interested; he asks for
DR.. Bernstein's address, which she
gives him.
so you think I'm afraid of Mr.
Jeffries, do you?" Brewster asks
after a pause, and in another min
ute startles her by announcing that
he is going to take up her case
Now don't pretend to be sur
prised,' he almost snaps as she
tries to thank him, you knew l
would. You knew it when you
came in that door. My clerks knew
it. Everybody knew it-but me-"
Mr.. Brewster sends for Jones and
asks him to get report of How
ard Jeffries' case.
Jones with a grin)-Yes, sir
do we-do We
Brewster-Youk know id we'll
we do.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-12-09
Jones-Yes, sir.

Jones-Yes, sir.
Brewster-And stop grinning.
Next, Mrs. Jeffries, sr., is sent
for and Brewster leaves the women
together, being wise and knowing
the ways of women. You don't
mind my calling you Annie, do
you?" Mrs. Jeffries asks, and Annie
doesn't see why she should since
that is her name and they are relal
tives-by marriage. Then they dis
cuss the situation and Annie refers
to "Old Jeffries" as a fish," de.
claring he is not a rather or he
would do a fathers duty by his
son. Before they get through Mrs.
Jeffries learns that Brewster is go;
ing to defend Towards case, be-
lieving him innocent, and Annie
learns that Mrs. Jeffries was the
mysterious visitor who called on
! Underwood the night of the shoot
ing. The latter has kept silent,
she declares, believing Howard
guilty because of his confession
and because she dreaded disgrace.
Annie-Disgrace? What is dis
grace when human life is at
stake?
Mrs. Jeffries-But it seemed USE
less-a useless sacrifice-in the
face of his>confessfon.
