Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1873-02-19


paid visit to the district school, now
under the charge of Mr.. E. R. Wilmarth
and lady. For the credit of the city we
would like to forbear giving our opinion
Of the accommodations of that institu-
ton, but to do so seems professional
duty. In two little, ill-ventilated rooms
we found 80 scholars, male and female,
crowded together like poultry on the road
to market. The half-suffocatsd pupils
were literally wedged together on the
main seats, and some even put up to
roost on narrow platforms projecting
from the walls. 1t is simply inhumanity
to put over % or 80 scholars in those two
little pens; and it is disgraceful to
Phoebe, with her boosted population of
5000, that she supports but one public
school, and that it is regular juvenile
black-hole. Where are the school reve-
nues? and where the school officers? If
there can't be an improvement, and at
once, we would suggest that parents mr.
range among themselves to send their
children to school alternate weeks.
Miss DoUGRAYs BALL.-We hope our
citizens will bear in mind that Miss Kate
Dougrays Washington Birthday ball
will come off next Friday evening-it
being impracticable to have it on the
22d. Miss Dougray is an estimable lady,
has never, We are told, failed to respond
to any charitable call since her residence
among us, and We hope to see her well
patronized on this occasion. Some OF
our best and most popular citizens will
act as masters of ceremony. The SER
vices Of the talented musician, Professor
Maggie, and of other first-cass artists,
have been secured.
The WEATHER AT Enthusiastically
before yesterday-and yesterday, too, we
presume-heavy rains prevailed in Bull
ionville and vicinity. When we have
snow fall here they usually have rainfall
down there. Though only 10 miles apart,
there is a marked difference in the eli
mate of the two places, owing to the
difference in the altitude. We may have
vegetables of this years production from
Bullionville before the last snow of
winter melts from the elevations around
us.
SAN Francisco DISTRICT is attracting
increased attention. A gentleman told
us yesterday, just from there, that he
believed it would give employment to a
thousand men within year. With the
Palisade, Eureka and Phoebe Railroad
completed our merchants could compete
with Salt Lake in furnishing supplies to
that point.
