BACK FROM FRISCO,

H. Pilkington returned Sunday

cisco.
He reports that prominent men in
financial and commercial affairs in
those cities had no llesitancy i'll saying
that the depression i'll all lines thru
which the world has just been passing.
has already begun to show unmis-
taxable signs of lifting.
Specifically and of especial interest
to this section was the statement to
him, by prominent attorney in po-
sition to know, that the freight rate
controversy now before the Inter
state Commerce Commission on an
appeal, will be favorably adjudicated
at an early date, and that the work
planned to be done in building a
10000 reverberatory unit to be added
to the Mason Valley Mines Company's
smelter at Thompson will be COM
nenced 10y June lst This will enable
the Thompson smelter to handle
every character OF ores and means a
great stimulus to all kinds of metal
mining in the Western part OF Nevada.
1t is also reported that the copper
market has shown increased activity
in the last few weeks. for the reason
alleged. that the government stores
of copper accumulated during the
war period have been gradually used
and otherwise disposed Of, greatly
stimulating demand.
Mr.. Pilkington also reports that a
standard drilling rig is now being
assembled for immediate installation
on the Pizen Switch Oil Company $

NO WATER SHORTAGE

Figures received by George Freid-
hoff from his brother, who is an
official operating under the California
state government, indicate that there
will be ample water during the COM
ing season, as the snowfall i'll the

since 1915. While the figures do not
relate directly to the Walker water
shed. their averages indicate the gen
cral conditions:

A PROTEST.

Editor Times: Fishing is i'll full
stride now, and from the size of the
trout that are being brought into
town and those being sold, it is about
time that steps should be taken to
stop this outage. No wonder that we
have no fishing III our streams and
lakes, when people catch these fish on
their way to spawn and nothing to
stop them in the way of prosecution
except that the law puts fine ON
the fishing out OF season and there is
no one to catch the offenders except
one official in Carson City. The local
Fish & Game Club ought to look into
this matter and appoint each member
a deputy to be on the lookout for
offenders. If our lakes and streams
are stocked with fish i'll season just
think OF the pleasure our citizens and
also visitors would derive from fishing
and at least getting bite when they
are out And think of the revenue the
merchants would derive from visitors
coming if they knew there is some
thing to come for, Fishing is kind
OF joke around this vicinity when in
season. Let's change it.

AN APPRECIATION OF
OUR KINDERGARTEN

The Times is in receipt of letter
from Mrs. ]. p. Perazzo, chairman
OF kindergarten extension department
of the Nevada Federation of Womens'
clubs. in which she incloscs letter
expressing appreciation of the 1cring-
ton kindergarten. written by Mrs.
Elizabeth Mckay. Mrs. Mckay is a
most successful teacher of primary
grade, and her reputation has spread
to all sections of Nevada. Coming
from such a source the following let
ter is of more than usual interest:
Up to two years ago, never having
taught children who had attended a
kindergarten, l unhesitatingly voiced
the statement that children who had
attended kindergarten knew only
how to play and were not amen
able to the discipline necessary to be
enforced in the first grade. | had
heard this repeatedly from well known
educators in the primary department.
Now. after two years in Yerington,
! find it easy to distinguish between
pupils who have been in kindergar-
ten and been trained, from those who
have not, 1t is true, they do know
how to play, and play fairly; their
hands have been trained i'll the use
of scissors, brush and crayon; they
are less selfish and more mindful of
the rights OF others; having sung,
danced and played in groups, they
are better prepared for class work.
The first and most efficient work in
Americanization-i done in these lower
grades.
I cannot say whether this be true OF
all kindergartens, but it is certainly
true of the one in Yerington. This
training could have been given in the
home. but few mothers have the time
or equipment necessary to accomplish
the best results.
