	SHASTA TEACHERS WILL ATTEND THE MEETING
REDDING, May 6 - Shasta county will this year take an active interest in the 
meeting of the National Educational association that will be held in Los 
Angeles from the 8th to the 12th of July. Miss Lulu WHITE, county 
superintendent, will have charge of the Shasta county part of the meeting and 
it is her desire to have the hearty co-operation of the people.
  Each county is to have an exhibit, principally of postals and scenes of the 
attractive places. Miss White hopes to take along a large collection, and she 
is desirous of having all the postals and pictures possible for use on that 
occasion.
  The railroads have allowed liberal round-trip rates for the meeting. The 
round trip from Redding to Los Angeles on that occasion will be but $18.10. 
This is unusually low and no doubt many will take advantage of the chance to 
see the southland.
  Miss White will in a few days be ready to issue membership certificates to 
the association.

	NEVADA COUNTY MEN ENGAGE IN CONSTRUCTION
NEVADA CITY, May 6 - Word received in Nevada City says that Jack GROSS and Bill 
BALL, who left here a couple of weeks ago for Oroville, have secured a contract

of the Western Pacific railroad, now under construction. The grade awarded to 
Gross and Ball is in the Big Bar division in Butte county, about thirty-five 
miles northeast of Oroville. Gross, who is an old resident of Nevada county, 
had a contract about three years ago when the first grading work was 
inaugurated, and did well at it. Ball is a Montana lad, who came here early
