WHAT YOU THINK OF THAT?

The champion snooZer of Pendle-
ton has been found and that ne is en-
titled and likewise welcome to the
honor most people will agree when
they read this truthful tale of an in
cident that occurred here during this
morning.
During the forenoon Ben L. Bur-
roughs, manager of the planning mill,
had his attention attracted to a man
up a telephone pole nearby. Having
observed the man several times he
noted that he did not move and had
been in the same position for nearly
an hour. Instantly it flashed
through his mind that the man had
been electrocuted and was dead or
badly injured. Calling up Edward
Mabie, local phone manager, he said:
There is a fellow up a pole here
who seems to have something wrong
with him. 1 think he has had a
shock"
Alarmed by this news. Mr.. Mabie
and A. NJ. Meyer, head lineman. made
worst. Arriving On the spot they
found the man alright just as report
ed. But he was not dead, but only
dreaming Made drowsy by the warm
sun or something else, the man while
up the pole and astride the cross arm
mad fallen asleep. He was comfort
ably reclining with his head on his
arm but lie was not strapped to the
pole and it is a marvel he did not re-
iax his hold during his slumber and
plunge to the ground below. He was
awakened and was as surprised az
anyone else on finding what he had
done. He is transient lineman and
has been employed by the company
on cable work and other jobs.

BLAUES CRITICS FOR
increase OF crime

Atlanta Clan. 22-Searching for an
excuse for the increased number II
crimes in Atlanta, Chief of Police
Jas. L. Beavers has fastened the re-
sponsibility upon the knockers.
When a Nashville, Chattanooga &
st. Louis train was held up and rob-
Der almost under Atlanta's electric
lights; when the residence of President
Chas. A Wickersham OF the Atlanta
& West Point railroad was robbed Of
$4,000 worth of jewelry; when hold
ups are reported almost nightly from
various sections of the city, there
must naturally be some sort of ex-
PLANTATION. Chief Beavers has found it.
The critics of the police depart
ment are responsible for the increase
of crime in Atlanta" Chief Beavers
now declares in a public statement.
The explanation is at leastu nique, If
not satisfying. The severest criticism
that has been made of the Atlanta po-
lice has been its failure to keep down
burglaries, robberies and crimes of
violence.
While the chief does not refer di-
rectly to this kind of criticism, there
is little doubt that he had it in mind.
He says the police have been attacked
for enforcing certain laws, and that
therefore the foreign" crooks get the
idea that local sentiment is largely
against police methods.
AS matter Of fact, however, there
has been no criticism of any movement
directed against the Atlanta police
purely for enforcing laws. They have
been criticised for devoing their en-
tire attention to certain laws and at
the same time filling to protect the
people from depredations of robbers
and hold ~ men.
