PROMOTION PARAGRAPHS 



TWO important interurban divisions were opened to the traveling pub- 

 lic on September 1st. The link in the main line of the Northern 

 Electric extending from Sacramento to Marysville, and the Central 

 California Traction Company's line from Stockton to Lodi. The 

 line from Marysville northward to Oroville was already in opera- 

 tion. The gap between Stockton and Sacramento will be rapidly closed, 

 thus giving uninterrupted electric transit from Oroville to Stockton. 



An electric line from Stockton to Modesto is assured for the imme- 

 diate future. 



Steps are being taken to extend the Northern Electric line to Redding. 



The Ocean Shore electric road has its terminal reaches out of San 

 Francisco and Santa Cruz completed for a total distance of thirty-four 

 miles and eighty per cent of the grading finished on the remainder of 

 the line. 



Construction work is in progress on an electric traction line running 

 from Mayfield to Vasona, a station in the vicinity of Los Gates. 



The mileage of the Pacific Electric Railway, of Los Angeles, if extend- 

 ed in a direct line, would fall little short of connecting that city with San 

 Francisco. 



In Santa Clara County there are now in operation or construction 

 one hundred and sixty-four miles of electric roads. 



Santa Rosa is already an electric railway center, with several addi- 

 tional lines planned for the near future. 



Surveys have been made for electric lines from San Jose to Mt. 

 Hamilton and the Big Basin. 



In the Fresno district electricity Is being employed with especial suc- 

 cess in pumping for irrigation and for draining agricultural land. 



Within the past year the San Bernardino County electric lines, con- 

 necting Redlands, San Bernardino, Highland, Colton, Patton, and other 

 points, have changed hands; and in the near future this system is to have 

 connections with Los Angeles.
