Joe T. Qagnon, operator of the Jack
onvllle railway, which he hopes to
extend to the coast within the lifetime
of all who read, haa started a home
building campaign, to relieve the
house congestion. He haa three houses
under construction one on Oakdale,
and two on Ivy streets sold, and
plana to start work at once on three
new houses of the bunsalow type In
the County seat Ho will build more.
If conditions warrant.
In regard to rumors that the Jack
sonville road had been sold, Mr. Gag
lion states that a deal of that nature
la under way, but nothing definite has
come of the negotiations. Mr. Gagnon
says that when the people as a whole
realize the blessings to be derived
from a road to the coast, an era of
prosperity will set in over southern
Oregon from Butte Falls to the Pacific
opening up the agricultural, mineral
and timber possibilities.
. "If I had 200,000," Bays Mr. Gagnon.
"I could build the coast road far
enough so the rest of the way would
be easy."
Mr. Gagnon haa a surrey of the road
from Jacksonville west.
The Jitney service to Jacksonville
has been discontinue'!, and the fare
to the county seat will be ten cents.
Instead of a nickel.

The cold record of the winter was
broken last night with a minimum
temperature of . 9 degrees above,
which was Just 8V4 degrees colder
than Tuesday night, the winter rec
ord up to that time.
Cheer up, the worst Is yet to come,
for the prediction is fcr colder
weather tonight, which means that
those of us whose water pipes did not
freeze up last night will sit up all
of tonight keplng fires going to pre
vent the home water systems from
freezing up, mebbe!
Despite the outlook published yes
terday afternoon that a hard treese
might be expected, many citizens did
not take unusual precautions to pro
tect water pipes, and decided to take
chance. Hence at many homes this
norning water pipes were found
frozen up or bursted, and there was
a franic call for plumbers all day
with the plumbers unable to respond
to tho emergency calls. One plumb
er alone had 25 such calls up to this
noon.
All day Wednesday the tempera
ture did not rise above the freezing
point and most of the time it waa be
low that figure. It was the same to
day, only colder. The only ry ol
hope in sight for tonight and Friday
is that the K. of P. minatel show will
prove such a hot affair that it will
warm things up generally.
The unusual cold cf last night
and today knocked a number of heat
ing plants out in business buildings
or homes, or crippled them from giT
tng even a half way comfortable ser
vice. The city administration is taking
extra precautions to keep the les mov
ing at the water works intake so as
to precent a blockade there and con
sequent knocking out of the city
water system. Extra men were pu:
on this work today.
In many homes all last night the
cold and hot water faucets were left
running. In an effort to prevent
freeze nps. . (
This cold spell is tough on aiitoa,
and the wise car owner keeps his
radiator well 'blanketed both while
standing still and running. At the
C. E. Gates auto garage this morning
every one of the many cars in the es
tablishment was found frozen up, and
It took several hours to thaw them

EXHIBITION
N.
The open hous held last nlsht by:
Separate Company A, Oregon National
Guard at the armory in the Nat, waa a
successful and enjoyable affair attend
ed by about 150 relatives and friends
of members of tho command. This
opening nlsht was given to enable
those interested to have an opportu
nity to meet the young men of the
company at their drill Quarters, be
come better acquainted with tho unit!
and Its work and tho real meaning of
the Federal National Guard of which
Separate Company A is a unit.
The guests arrived about 8 o'clock
and after a short explanation of the
National Guard and Its work and the
exhibition of the two silver cups
awarded to the company at Camp
Lewis, at the annual encampments in
1920 and 1921, the company put on a
short exhibition of regular routine
work as It is carried on, cn the regular
'drill nights which included physical
exercises, close order drills, manual cf
arms, and bayonet drills.
At the close of the drill work the
visitors were shown through the head'
J quarters of the company and given an
opportunity to see the equipment with
which this company Is supplied by the
United States government, and there
were explanations of the different
arms and appliances used by a com
pany of the Infantry.
For the balane of the evening the
guents were entertained at a basket
ball game between ono of the teams
of the National Guard and the team
rrom the Christian church. Many of
the ladles enjoyed themselves In bowl-
lng, and a large number entered thej
ladles marksmanship contest on the In
door target range In the armory. Many
of the ladles proved themselves to be
right at home In the handling and
shooting of a rifle, and good scores
were made.
Mrs. Pen Klngory of Eagle Point,
made the highest score, 43 out of the
poRslble 60. Mrs. KIngery was pre
sented with a fine ladles' fountain pen
as the prize. She is the wife of Cor
poral Den L. KIngery of the company.
Corporal KIngery at tho target shoot
ing at tne annual encampment at
Camp Lewis, in 1920, was awarded a
silver medal by Governor Olcott for
making the highest score at the en
campment that year. And also in 1&21
Corporal KIngery shot the highest
number of bulls-eyes straight of any
many of the entire regiment, making
seven more bulls-eyes than any otht-r
aoldler.
It Is hoped by tho company that in
tne future many more such pleasant
evenings may bo spent together with
tho relatives and friends of tho mem
bers of the command.
