Nice-IrcSident Crocker of the South
crn Pacific, has announced that his
company does not propose to make any
fight against the hordcS of trampS who
are beating their way westward on
freight trains. He has arrived at the
conclusion that it is useless to unload
the tickCtlcSs tourists, because they
get aboard again in sufficient numbers
to overpowcr the trainmcn. There
fore Mr.. Crockcr believes that time
can be saved and bloodshcd avcrtcd
by allowing the tramps TO ride so long
as they are peaccablc. No proclama-
tion to that effect has been issued from
the company headquarters. but ii is to
be mutually understood that the train
men are not to mOlcSt the ''hobOS." eX-

tending from the Rockies to the Pacific
will follow the Southcrn'S example in
this respect. if they have not already
done SO in quiet way.-Orcgonian
