TRAIN IF TROUBLE
 IN TEMPE'S TIME
A Proposition to Eliminate All Time but the Southern Pacific Is Presented to the Board of Maricopa County Commissioners at Phoenix.

A communication was received by the board of supervisors yesterday from the residents of Tempe requesting the official determination of some sort of time to take the place of the three kinds which now exist in this county The petition, which is signed by prac. tically every business man in Tempe and most of the residents there and in the vicinity, urges the adoption of the Southern Pacific, or coast time, says the Arizona Republican.
 There is nothing to prevent Tempe from adopting any kind of time that may suit it best and in fact there is nothing there but coast time, but it is desired by the petitioners that the su- pervisors take action which will result in the adoption of a time to be used in the courts and other public offices.
 For some months there has been a petition before the board requesting the adoption of mountain time, that now used by the Santa Fe. This petition is based upon the circumstance that Phoe- nix lies in that longitude which is gen, erally recognized as being within the mountain time belt.
 Phoenix has three varieties of time. the coast, the mountain and the sun time. It is so situated that the sun time is almost exactly half way be- tween the two standard times, situ- ation which has made for the multipIie- ity of times, much less confusing than it would otherwise be.
 There are other towns worse off in this respect. Fl Paso, for instance, has four kinds of time, Pacific, mountain, central and sun. The Southern Pacific makes no use of the mountain time at all, but jumps from Pacific to central at that point. The Santa Fe and the Rock Island use the mountain time there and the inhabitants use the sun time.
 The board intimated that it would take some action on the Tempe petition at tine next meeting
 Another matter presented to the board was q petition by s. s. Greene and s. s. Seull to whom franchise had been granted for an electric rail road between Phoenix and the Buckeye country, on the condition that work should be begun on it within a stated time. That time having expired or be- ing about to expire, the holders of the franchise desire an extension of six months. That will also be acted upon at the next meeting.

 Roseberry, who is now in Phoenix, has given up al hope of getting back his wife, who refused to live with him because he wanted her to do the cook ing, washing and mending at Beardsley, where strengthening is about the only excitement
 Convinced that his happy home has been broken up before it got fairly started, Roseberry has advised the pub lie that he will not be responsible for any bills contracted by his wife.
 When questioned, Roseberry admit ted that his wife had not contracted any. bills that he had been called upon

JUSTICE FINED A
 HOBO S29,000,000
Phoenix Magistrate Who Thought a Fine of the Standard Oil Proportions Would Have a Tendency to Drive the Vagrants from that City.

A Phoenix paper says: Judge Perry Williams of Marieopa is stickler for order within certain limits and the other day he also showed that he was an ob- server of judicial precedent. Maricopa is one of the principal stations on the great hobo route across the continent. That is the place where most of the hobo passengers get ditched. They lin ger about the station, waiting for an outlet and many of them give way to lawless tendencies.
 Justice Williams orders them arrested in the evening and they are chained to stake on the desert until next morn ing, when they are given more or less summary trial. It is too expensive to send them to Florence, the county seat.

A PIONEER WOMAN
 OF THE TERRITORY
Interesting Incidents in the Life of the Late Mrs. Josotina Aros de Roca, Who Passed Away at Tucson on Tues day Last of Bright's Disease.

In reviewing the death of Mrs. Jose tina Aros de Roca of Tucson, mother of Mrs. George II. Smalley of this city, the Star says;
 | Deceased had been sick several months. She was first taken sick at the residence of Mrs. Smalley in Globe and was taken to Los Angeles for treat ment. After being two months in the latter city Mrs. Roea realized that the end was near and asked to be brought back to Tucson, the scene of long years of her residence. She gradually sank and week ago her absent children were summoned
 The death of Mrs Roea removes one of the earliest of pioneers, whose years of life span the evolution of Tucson. She was the daughter of Colonel Teo- doro ArOs and accompanied her father to the little Indian ranchero of Chook. son when the garrison of Mexican mili- tary activity was established on the banks of the Santa Cruz river, where the Tucson of today now stands. Fifty years ago, now recorded in modern his tory as the dark days of this country, Mrs. Roca lived behind the rugged bar. ricades of the Mexican garrison and at tended school established by Colonel Aros for the benefit of the children of the army officers stationed here. Evi- denees of this barrieade remained for years and are recalled by many of the pioneers of the latter days.
 Colonel Teodoro Aros, father of Mrs. Roea, was born in Spain and, seeking his fortune in the new world, became an adopted son of Mexico, and served as an officer in the Mexican army He was promoted to colonel and was known as one of the bravest Indian fighters of his time. It was during his service on the northern frontier of that coun- try that he lost his life. He was killed by the Apaehes at a place not far from Tucson.
 Mrs. Roea was married ffty-seven years ago, her husband, Miguel Gonzales Roea, being a native of Chili. He will be remembered by the older residents
  of Tucson as a merchant. Together with her husband, Mrs. Roca made many per lions journeys overland. During one of their journeys to California they were escorted by detachment of Mexican cavalry as protection against the hostile Apaches. She remained in California for eight years, where her husband en- gagged in business, and there five of her children were born On recent visit to Los Angeles the deceased visited the old church in which she worshiped forty years ago and recalled the adobe house where they lived. Her memory was rich in the romance of the early days of pioneering.
 She was a lovable woman, her heart going out always to the poor and dis tressed. Strong in character, friends were drawn to her and fe ware so wide ly mourned as she.

His Wall Paper Lure.

George Tidsell. of Sparrowbush. N.

basket filled with "speckled beauties"
weighing half a pound each. His
friends quizzed him as to where he
caught the fish, so even in size. and
how.
We'll. you see, last summer I was
at the brook during huckleberry time
and was carelessly throwing some of
the berries in the water and was sur.
prised to see the trout rise and eat
them.
IL ran across a piece Of wall paper
the other day having huckleberries
printed on It. l went to the brook
and pasted the piece Of wall paper on
a rock Just above a pool. Soon the
pool was full of fish. They eyed the
beautiful clusters Of huckleberries with
mouths watering
1T didn't take long for a trout to
begin athletic jumps to get the berries
and as fast as they jumped for the
luscious clusters and were stunned by
the contact with the rock 1 picked
them up and put them In my basket
until It was filled"
