Spring Coming Sure,
:: Says Travis .: =:
Hoboes Flock North

The migration of hoboes north
ward is just as much of an indica-
ton of spring" said Gus Travis, a
southern Pacific conductor" as is
the flying of wild geese south an
indication of winter approaching" :"
The country is infested with a reg
lar CoXys army at the present
said Mr.. Travis, and the hoboes are
nearly all working northward now,
having forsaken their winter quar-
ters in California, due to the vigil
lence of authorities in southern ci-
ties.
Sunday an army of more than
twenty-five hoboes were camped
near the S. +. track south of JEFF
fcrson. TWO robberies at jefferson
the night before were attributed to
them. The store of j. H. Roland, it
is said. was burglariZed after the
back door had been jimmied, and
a pair of shoes and some other ar
ticles were stolen. The hardware
store was also burgiarized the same
night and some money knives,
flashlights and several other things
taken. No evidence was at hand to
fonvict any OF the members of the
hobo party, but the camp was
broken up by officers and the
company of travellers started in the
direction. OF Salem.

Clackamas county, providing addi-

the payment of liens against real

commends the general purpose of

ion that would make the title ac-
quired under foreclosure superior
to any lien, claim or charge upon
the land. He says that such dras-
tic provision might invalidate taxes

ing agency, and that the attorney
general upholds him in this opin-
