ent towns and raiding the hoboes'
camps along the railroad property with
the aid Of the local police force in the
different places. Half "a hundred
tramps have been arrested and sent to
jail, and a number of their established
camping spots along the line have
been broken up.
The problem of dealing with this
nuisance is a less serious one for the
Eastern roads than it is for those Of
the West. In the first place, in this
part of the country the tramps are dis
tributed over a great many lines. In
the second place, towns are closer to-
gether, and it is always possible to
turn the hoboes over to local magfs.
trates to be dealt with. In the West,
however, where the towns are further
apart, the question Of what to do with
the hobo after he is caught is often a
grave and difficult one, and some Of
the Western roads have adopted the
policy of permitting the tramps to ride

is stated on good authority that the
various railway lines of the country
spend each year more than a million
dollars in attempts to keep their lines
free from trampS.
1t is easy to understand, says the
New York Herald, why the hobo"
prefers the railways to the highways.
In the first place, they offer the most
direct routes between towns, and, in
spite of beliefs to the contrary, the
genuine "hobo'' prefers not to stray
any further than r. necessary from
these centres of population. 1t Is
easier to count ties than to pick ones
way through. the uncertainties of
country dirt roads. The railroad Is
never muddy in wet weather nor very
dusty in the dry season. Moreover,
there is clways the alluring possibility
Of stealing a ride on the trucks, the
"Dlind baggage" or within the friendly
shelter of some box car.
Vile the railway is a great boon to
the members of the genus hobo, it can
not be said that the reverse Is true.
In fact, so great dislike do the rail
way officials show to the free and in
discriminate use tf their property that
they spend thousands Of dollars in en-
ploylng men to drive the, tramps of

The tramps themselves are well aware
as to which lines have adopted this
policy, and they are to be found in
great numbers along all these roads.
1t is. well-known fact among their
fraternity that the railways will not
put them off trains in passing over
the Rocky Mountains or across the
Southern desert The lines in these
sections have suffered so much from
fires started by tramps that had been
