According to Jou Qanon, who Is
the only survivor of that trio ot op
erators, the Medtord-Jnclisonvlllo
railroad will go down in Oregon
history us one of the liveliest in
dustries of the stnte. Started in
J890 by W. S. Uarnum, according to
Mr. Qagnon, the railroad was built
for the purpose of hauling ore from
the Hluii Ledge mining property,
i' which wus thou produclti In tie
tnondouH amounts.
I'oinliliuilloil Tin In.
Tho train, as run by Mr. Uarnum
und his two sons, John and V. 8.
Jr. (also now deceased) consisted
of a steam engine, a flat cur and
a box car for freight, und another.
engine and passenger car for the
trnnsportnljon of residents between
tho two towns.
This ploneor Modford-Jiu'kson
vlllo train ran on 26-pound rnlls,
according to Mr. Gagnon. As bust-

stalled. Tho road was 'sold to 8.

from Mr. Uarnum for iiO,out). Mr
Gagnon said that tltu railroad then
went Into the hands of receivers,
und ho bought It for J22.0OO, sold
It later to John Opp for (37,0110,
und that it discontinued operation
In 11125, and wus luler purchased
by tho city.
"I extended the railroad four
miles above Jacksonville Into ttie
timber, and hauled Umber as well
as oro over the railroad," said Mr.
Uagnon, reminiscing on the old
days. "Uy this time, of course, a
number of improvements hud been

The depot for the Medford-Jaek-

used as tho pollco stntlon. Mr
Gugnon said that ho hud not ui

And when he does, he'll dream

Older motors mi&ht find room for a handfulof coJce
like carbon. There is but a knife blade of "clearance"
in our fine new engines no room for carbon
A THIN dime, on top a piston would
bump the cylinder head in some of
the new motors. No clearance, no room
for carbon deposits.
You've seen how carbon forms in layers;
how it has to be scraped from spark plugs,
valves, pistons. Most of it comes from
burned oil. And the surprising thing is
that many high priced oils form great
quantities of flint-carbon.
It is shameful to let a fine new motor
knock and strain. To let it choke up with
hard carbon that flakes off, holds valves
open and wastes power. To let abrasive
chips grind like grit through every bearing!
And you need not use a carbon-forming
lubricant. There's an improved oil, ideal
almost a necessity for modern engines.
Bunts to soft soot only
Not much oil burns in a good motor but
there's always enough to form carbon.
Shell Motor Oil, the result of a new and
exact refining process, forms 2 -3 7ess car
bon than even the costliest oils you can
buy. The little it does form is only soft
soot that blows away through the exhaust.
It is a finer lubricant, so carefully vac
uum refined that none of its sturdy body
is lost. Shell Motor Oil can truly "add
thousands of miles to the life of your car."
At yellow and red signs, everywhere convenient.
WELL
Shell 400, the new "dry" gas that bums cleanly and keeps out of
the crankcase, is the ideal running mate for Shell Motor Oil. Even
Shell Motor Oil can be ruined by "thinning" with a "wet" gas
