 A TEACHER FROM ABROAD Miss Edna Wager of Moline, Ill., ar rived in the city yestterday morning to take a place in the city schools. She will occupy the room formerly presid- ed over by Miss Burns, who was com pelied to resign on account of illness. It hes. already been explained why it is necessary to send to Illinois and ether places for teachers. Though there are plenty of teachers in the territory, not enough have qualified themselves for first class certificates to fill all the places which the law says must be filled by holders of certificates of the first grade. The last quarterly exam ination brought out in the whole ter ritory only three such certificates.
 CHANGE OF TAX PAYING TlME.-It is probable that one of the members of the legislature from this county will be asked to present a bill changing the time for the payment of taxes to July 1. Such a measure is being agftated. It is argued in favor that it will greatly benefit the towns of Tucson and Phoenix in this way. July 1 or thereabout is the time when those who can get away go to the coast to spend their money and come back temporarily impoverished It is thought that i1 the owners of property are compelled to pay their taxes about the time they usually start out on their summer vacation they will feel so poor that they will not go at all
 
 JUNIORS DOING WELL-The Phoenix Juniors won another football game yesterday afternoon, the last one they will play this season, as they now intend to devote their energies to the perfection of their baseball team, which wul be reorganized this week. Though they won yesterday in the football match. their pride was a little bit rudied for the other side scored , against their 9. This was the first time that anybody ever had the te- merity to make points against the Juniors, and they feel humiliated ac- cordingly. They say it would not have occurred only that one of their play CTS, Ikero, got knocked out and the substitute was not familiar with the signals. Porter did his usual good work on the end, and Kelly bolstered up the line. The opposing team was ! from the Osborn school, the same that played against the Juniors before. It Ihad evidently been doing some good practice work. The Juniors have now organized their athletic club, which is | the great merger organization that l fosters both the football and the base IbaH teams. There are thirty charter members, and the organization has secured quarters in The Irving, or Pratt. block. on West Washington street. between Fifth and Sixth av- enues.
